Hi Felicia,
welcome to blogland. Thank you for linking to me.
I like your blog. You dare to write personal things. I am still not really there…
Seoul is an interesting place. I worked there for a months in 2001. Most Koreans are tough, sometimes even rude - I remember I almost had to fight at the airport to keep my position at the luggage carousel - but lots of tradition and culture and kimchii….
Take care
Suzie from Beijing

Your pictures are so pretty and I think there’re lots of things to learn from them, such as the way of watching objects around me.

Hi~ Felicia.
I’m so suprised after reading of your post for Yoga class, because we are not good at speaking both English and Korean to each other.
But Felicia the point of yoga: mind and body, breath and thinking, class and your life.
…such feelings.
You are so amazing! Thank you so much for your thoughts, and I’m happy^^
Namaste~.

Hi, I randomly came across your blog while googling about Seoul, and I must say, it’s amazing! I’m loving your photos and the wonderful fact that you’re so enthusiastic about each of your new experiences - vastly different from the many expats I know who arrive in Asia bitter, arrogant ,or both! Keep it up!
thistimenow said,
December 6, 2007 at 1:03 am
Hello Jasmine!
Contact me and I’d be glad to take you to Papergarden. Love that place!
It’s actually both a part of Shinsadong and Apgujeong.
Send me an email and perhaps we can get together this weekend:
I actually haven’t been to the Galleria, I don’t like department stores here. I prefer small boutiques.
Have a great time and I hope that you get to visit Samcheondong. This place is a must.

Great pictures. Calm is the word that comes to mind when I look at your pictures. I must say you got me interested in photography. I was wondering if you are self taught or took some classes. Any advice for someone just starting out with photography. Thanks and keep the pictures coming. Would love to see them in a book.

Felicia, thanks for your kind comments on my blog! (Apologies for not responding more quickly, I lost your email, and I’m not quite that savvy yet on the blog stuff!)
You are an inspiration to me. There are so many people who live in the city of Chicago, who have never seen it’s beautiful lakefront, or visited the downtown area. That says a lot. They never “get off the block”. People limit themselves to a life seen through others eyes, out fear, complancency, etc. The world is such a huge, beautiful place to learn from and I envy you for having the moxie to try to see and live as much of it as possible….but that’s where your inspiration for me settles in. I look forward to reading more about your life, work and travels, and enjoying your blog.

Hi Felicia,
Been reading your blog for awhile since I’m planning on heading over to Korea in about a month or so…(love all your photos and words by the way)
I was reading your entry on getting an internship (congrats!) and just wanted to know if that was possible on an E-2 visa? I wanted to do something like that with magazines, but wasn’t sure if this was legit.
Would appreciate any advice/insight!
Best,
Mirah

Hello, Felicia
I’m your student from SLE2B(TTF)Class at four o’clock.
I really enjoyed your class. I practiced my English while having fun.
Your blog is very…delicate? I can’t find the right word. Hmm..nice.
I like the picture of a dog, is the dog yours?
Have a nice trip to Jin island and Thailand. I envy you. I have to go back to school next week. I’ll sometimes visit this place and see what nice place you have found-like navi and yanpa-and I’ll try.Haha,- take cares, and maybe we can see each other someday
Nowdays world is not that big~

Felicia,
How are you? I’m Good.
Do you remember me? I hope so.
I’m in Seattle now, and I’m writing this in the hotel room.
The weather is so beutiful, it’s unusual here.
I saw your wonderful pictures, and I noticed that your passion is photograph.
Someone said to me you look like a photographer or artist, but I have no sense of art.
I tried to take a nice picture several times, but there are so many things to study more.
I envy you.
I’m happy to know you and I hope that we contact further.
Best Regards,
Hayoung

Felicia, it’s your sister Sylvia. I am so impressed by the brightness and clarity of the photos you’ve taken in this enchanted land of Korea. You are drawing people in with your wonderful tales of the experiences you’ve had in different neighborhoods and with people.
You were in Thailand when we last corresponded and I’m not sure you received the message that I am moving to Korea late July/ early August of THIS year! Where will you be then? Have you made a decision on where life will take you these coming months? I’m trying to find a place in Suwon so let me know if you have any recommendations on neighborhoods. Also, please forward me your contact information in Seoul so I may call you!

hi there! so glad to see someone else in seoul who loves the cafe culture as much as (or maybe even more than) i do.
as a foreigner here, sometimes i find it hard to find people who like to explore new cafes and chill with me.
you’ve got yourself a new fan for your blog!

New to photography and I would like to move to Paris. Is there way that I can generate an income that will allow me to take pictures abroad. I want to document poverty, adversity and the art of overcoming it.
Thank you
