Tall Ship Trip - CRASH

Tall Ship - Rescue Edition
2015.06.13~14 @ Yeosu [여수]

Last year, we took a wonderful Tall Ship trip that departed from Yeosu [여수] and sailed around to some of the nearby islands. It was super fun; we drank beer, listened to music, jumped off the boat, had a barbecue and camped on the beach. This year, we decided to go on that trip again, but the boat ran aground on some rocks. The entire second day was a rescue mission to get us back to Yeosu. Because of the crash, we will be going on the August Tallship Trip for 50% off. Surprisingly enough, we're going.

Sweet Jane [스윗제인] in Hongdae [홍대]

Sweet Jane - Bar
2015.06.11 @ 홍대 [Hongdae]

Jane & Millie were my favorite bartenders at my favorite bar in Seoul, Bar 다, but Jane has opened up her own bar in Hongdae [홍대], Sweet Jane [스윗제인]. Back in June, we made a trip out to Jane's bar and had a great time. She was so incredibly welcoming and gave us some service treats and shots. Next time I make the trip out to Hongdae, I'll have to stop by. I strongly suggest that you do the same.

Hong Kong - Day 3

Session Break Vacation to Hong Kong #3

On the third day, Tristan went on a little solo adventure, but the rest of us went over to Hong Kong Island to ride the ferris wheel before we had to head back to the airport.
