Reflections on a week long trip to Korea

January 20, 2017February 16, 2018 Diya

We put our luggage into the lower compartment hold and wearily climbed into the coach one by one. Whether it was the sharp cold air of Seoul that greeted us or the tearful heartfelt farewells to our Korea.net colleagues, the … Continue reading Reflections on a week long trip to Korea

This time last year #myfriend #chef @tablo_hj made this for me 새해 복 많이 받으세요 #HappyKoreanNewYear everyone #떡국 #ricecakesoup #😋🤤🤤
Mmmm #sundubujjigae #순두부찌개 😋😛🤪How I have missed thee..: @onthebab #drool #koreanfood #coventgarden 🤤🤤
When you are responsible for taking a group of friends to a #koreanrestaurant #koreanmeal and feel the pressure to explain what food is what, but you soon find out that one of them is going out with a #korean so they are a little familiar with the food! #phew! 😂😂. Pressure slightly off! A good time had by all! #aftermealpicture. Great service and great food @onthebab #coventgarden @ifigen__
When I found the direct translation of 멍청이 was blockhead, I got inspired to draw this recreation of a classic cartoon where I first came across this word. My friend is always playfully teasing me and calling me this so it seemed it appropriate for her to take the role of #lucyvanpelt and I of #charliebrown #peanutscomicstrip #charlesschulz #멍청이 #blockhead #koreanlanguage #translation #comicstrip
@chattyman talking about his new dog from #korea he rescued with his husband Paul and speaking #korean. #sit #앉아 on @michael__mcintyre #bigshow
Happy New Year everyone! I saw this wonderful image of cat riding on a pig via @ajiktto. It was drawn by @park_soonchan. And I somehow felt the need to replicate it but with me riding on the back! All credit to him and sorry for butchering his image. But the New Year always starts with you thinking of things you have not done! Wishing you all a wonderful #happynewyear2019 #새해복많이받으세요 #yearofthepig
#coffeeboost for the #farewellscene at #airport #diyatoon #weekendwebtooning
How can two days of eating non stop make you put on weight?! Oh well.. seasons greetings everyone!! 🎄🎄 If anyone needs me I will be relocating my gym to live for the next week! 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️
#TheWhiteBook on #MyWhiteBed. One of the highlights of 2018 for me was attending a #bookclub in #seoul earlier this year. It was my first time attending other than the ones held at the @kccuk! It was really interesting delving into both the English and the Korean and learning more about the style of #HanKang. (Expertly moderated by @seoulsophie 😍) Sadly I did not take pictures but will forever remember coincidence playing a big part where the location of the hotel I booked and the book club were literally opposite each other! #deborahsmith #northterracebookcafe @amasshotel #koreanliterature
A couple of years ago my #koreanfriend came to visit me and left this tshirt which was originally a novel by #KimAeran #MyPalpitatingLife #두근두근내 인생 Although I have read some of the chapters translated into English, I also got to see the film and meet the amazing author and have dinner with her! Not bad for some of my 2018 highlights!
#Webtooning at night when I should be sleeping... panel 3 of the airport scene in #Korea.. #notquite but #almost #diyatoon #inprogress
When you are playing @wordscapesgame and the capital of one of your favourite countries crops up! #korea #seoul 😱 But then it does not make it on to the grid alas! 🥺😔
