teacher! teacher!

With less than three weeks left with my babies I have given up on being 'strict teacher' and decided to act like a kid. This week was spent playing airplane, where is your nose?, and how many times can brittney teacher swing each kid around....it's wednesday and i'm exhausted but making the most of my time with them.

Wagwak interview!

Last week my friend Rina Kim and I had the pleasure of interviewing Daehyun Kim from Wagwak. Wagwak is a korean indie/folk band that will be leaving korea to travel around Europe, Canada, and the States. We met Daehyun at a cool cafe in Sina and had a great evening chatting and getting to know him better. It was my first time doing an interview for Chincha blog and i was such a nerd, luckily I had Rina there hehe I have really enjoyed becoming more involved with the creative scene in Korea and look forward to continuing!
You can check out the interview on Chincha:

PRIDE!

Last weekend was PRIDE weekend in seoul. It was my first time going to any pride event and I thought for sure it would be a small crowd, lot's of security and protesters since homosexuality is still a very touchy subject in korea. Fortunately I was proven wrong. There was a huge turn out with such a diverse crowd of people all coming together to support equal love and rights. I was so touch with how supportive everyone was, even bystanders in local coffee shops as the parade went by. I will forever remember that day!
































pretty much the greatest seeing kids showing support!


With less than two months left my babies have become even cuter. I am going to miss these adorable faces every morning! (minus the screaming and crying)

 I have spent the past month teaching them where there nose is...and i am proud to say at least five of them have gotten it!




Today was not only hump day but also a HOLIDAY! Tonya & i met for a coffee in hongdae before meeting up with the crew. We found a great cafe with a patio...which also serves wine. We figured 12pm was a good time to start, and the owner agreed. After two glasses he came out with delicious appetizers as "service". It's clear we are going to be regulars!

i love this city!






 14 in Noksapyeong has become one of my favourite places for some wine with good company. The owners adorable dog, NuNu makes it even nicer!






 Ah my Gladwish! Seoul is missing a piece since Ash left! Ash left seoul (hopefully not forever) last weekend and has jetted off on an adventure to Tokyo and LA before returning home. She will be greatly missed!
