One of the things I like about attending UCLA is that I get to go to Korea Town whenever I want to. Not just because I’m Korean, but because of all the delicious food and the authentic culture found in that place. When I first visited K.Town, I had forgotten that I was in America…

Back to LA
I’ve been back in LA for the past week and it has been one of the best weeks yet! It was nice to be back in my apartment after two weeks all over the state! I was at home for most of the vacation, but I got to spend a night up in Sacramento for…
Fête des Lumières
It’s wintertime here in Lyon! That means snow, lots of soup in my homestay, and the Fête des Lumières. The Fête des Lumières is a giant festival that happens in the beginning of December every year in Lyon. It draws millions of people from around France and around the world. It last for four days and features ~dazzling~…
The Weirdest Week of the Quarter.
Finals week is crazy for so many reasons! It’s always been my least favorite week and my favorite week. Everyone is so sleep deprived and has no class that we all just end up having some of the best memories! It is not uncommon to go into a dorm study lounge at 3 in the…
New Hobbies
One of my favorite things about UCLA is all of the random activities that go on- particularly on the grass by Janss steps. On sunny days this is quite a popular spot to go in between classes. You will see people “hammock”ing, other days it will be people playing the ukulele, but you can almost always…
Parents’ Weekend – French edition
I mentioned in my last post that I spent my Thanksgiving with my parents and that I had a super time, but the fun with mom and dad didn’t stop at Thanksgiving! My mom and her friend came to Lyon in the middle of November and stayed right up to the end of the month….
Merci-giving
At first glance, this year’s Thanksgiving was a tiny bit weird for me. Unlike other American festivities that have found their way to Europe (Halloween, Katy Perry dance parties, etc.), Thanksgiving has remained in its country of origin. Nobody quite understands the tradition or knows how to make a paper turkey by tracing their hand. Add…
Gourmet burgers at The Grove
This past Monday was the first time in my three-and-nearly-a-half years at UCLA that I had visited The Grove in Beverly Hills during the holiday season. Before, I had only heard of it and never had the chance to actually see it in all its splendor during the time of year that it is decked…
UCLA vs. USC
Since 1998, UCLA football team has scarcely won over our rivalry school USC. And it has been 5 years since UCLA had last won. But it looks like the tables have turned,…because UCLA beat USC this year! Just this past weekend, the Rose Bowl Stadium hosted an epic battle between the Bruins and the Trojans….
Early start to giving thanks this Thanksgiving :)
What a nice way to kick off the coming Thanksgiving week with our victory on the football game this past weekend! Bruins beat the Trojans 38-28!!! woohoooo 🙂 Now, I wasn’t a big football fan before. However, I went to my first ever football game when we were playing against Arizona, and that was a…
