Hard to believe it has been over two weeks since I was here~ Visiting the South Korean DMZ was an interesting mixture of exciting, terrifying and sad, but at least I still got to be a tourist amongst all the academic stuff that day! #academic #DMZ #SouthKorea #heartandseoul #military #security #securitystudies #tourist #imjingak #thirdtunnel #Seoul #studyvacation #history #notjustkpop https://www.instagram.com/p/BmqZdEhgOXo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9thq7h0oz4j8

This is still possibly the best visual pun I have ever made! So excited to be heading back to the Land of the Rising Sun in just under 48 hours! (at Gion)

5 years on and autocorrect is still the bane of my existence. Case in point, today I sent an email to my supervisor enquiring “shall we meet at the lounge for sex?”... Kill me now. #fuautocorrect #funny #studentproblems #miswording #FML

[lastminuteramblings]

Still probably one of the best mis-wordings in a email I have ever received. Be careful of your values, everyone! #miswording #values #funny #school #publicserviceannouncement #psa
