My favorite Korean Food

It's called Kimchi Mandu and my cravings for it are extreme. The mandu part is rubbery, soft, and warm. The Kimchi is hot, spicy, and lingers linger lingers on your tongue.

How to Do a Birthday

Step #1. Open your eyes

Step #2. Find a mirror. Discover(with delight and a happy dance) that being twenty-three does not automatically equal crow's feet and smile lines.

Step#3. Realize with glee that you're celebrating your birthday in the far East and decide(randomly) to spend an entire day doing whatever it is you want to do most.

Step #4. Treat yourself to a wonderful Western breakfast that consists of warm and fresh crossiants and a cafe latte.

Step# 5. Go to Seoul(one of the greatest cities on the planet) and meet up with one of your most favorite expat friends.

Step#6. Locate Seoul Art Center and check out a traveling show put on by one of your favorite photographers(Terry Richardson). Hold breathe for an entire minute while you take in your favorite photo of all time(in this case the infamous kiss between Batman and Robin).

Step #7. Hike up Seoul hill for an awesome panoramic. Make favorite expat friend pose for photos with random Korean hikers. Go check out famous temple. Get the giggles during Budhist prayer and incur the wraith of everyone surrounding you.

Step #8. Have a greek salad, glass of Chardonay, and piece of cheesecake at the Louis Vuitton flagship store. See Lady Gaga in the flesh. Admire her interesting cone dress and purple hair bow.

Step#9. Go shopping and buy a new outfit that you can't really afford but feel you deserve.

Step #10. Go back to Incheon and get a call from one of your nearest and dearest.

Step #11. Surprise dinner with twelve expat friends at a great Indian food place. Devour Naan bread, chicken salad, and mint chutney.

Step 12. Have a few drinks in the bustling downtown area and then head home for a deep twelve hour sleep
