A very crowded European Christmas market in Seoul.

German Christmas Market

German Christmas Market

On the first Saturday in December I joined a friend to check out the German Christmas Market at the Deutsche Schule Seoul International. For my friend it was a confusing language nightmare since she's fluent in German, English and Korean and all were being spoken around us. The event started at 5pm and continued until 8pm [...]

After making our way back from Marado we decided we wanted to head to the beach, but a couple came up to us offering to split taxi fare to the busier downtown area of Jeju city so we agreed. They headed off to Black Pork BBQ street and we made our way to Dongmun Market, [...]

Ploen Ruedee Night Market International Food Park เพลินฤดี

Our only night in Chiang Mai wasn't particularly exciting. While our itinerary said we'd go see a show or experience more of the local culture the majority of our group (myself included) weren't feeling all that great.

After everyone met up again we took the bus to Sokcho Jungang Market, or the Sokcho Fish Market. We weren't given a lot of time, just enough for the majority of my coworkers to all get boxes and boxes of the specialty, a type 닭강정 (dakgangjeong). You'd think at a fish market my coworkers would have [...]

My friend only really had one thing planned when I arrived and it was to go to Seomun Market. This market is usually open only during the day and hasn't changed much other than growing bigger and bigger since the Joseon Dynasty.

Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market

Bankok has a market for everything it feels like. Flower markets, night markets, flashlight markets, weekend markets and even floating markets. On the morning of my first day in Thailand I tried to sit and plan things I wanted to do. I wanted to do day tours and little trips but I was worried about [...]
