After spending way too long deliberating on where to eat lunch I ended up at Ok Burger, a chain in Seoul, which boasted great onion rings and delicious JJ chicken (Jamaican Jerk Chicken Burgers). I went with Nathalie who ordered both while I ordered the Truffle burger and some regular fries with a Dr. Pepper. [...]
Located off of the purple line 5 station Yeouinaru is Yeouido Hangang Park 여의도한강공원. It's a great place to go if you want to catch a cruise on the river, have a picnic, or play. With a children's park on one end and the river lined with restaurants on the water there's plenty of space to [...]
Taking Line 2, 4, or 5 to Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station and exiting out exit 1 will bring you to the DDP. Dongdaemun Design Plaza is a strange silver spaceship like structure which is host to a variety of events like Seoul Fashion week and from April 15- August 8th Pixar's 30th Anniversary exhibit. Located [...]
This last weekend brought flower festivals to Seoul in multiple locations, one being at Jungnang-gu 중랑구 around the rose tunnel. The Rose tunnel is along Jungnangcheon stream and can be reached from subway line 7 station Meokgol (exits 7,6 or 5) or station Junghwa (exits 4 or 3). You don't have to go during the Rose [...]
This year Seoul Fashion Week came and left with me still spinning and rather unaware that I had missed it other than some posts by friends. I figured maybe next time. Mika, on the other hand, went, dressed up and backstage. (The nice part about living in Seoul). While I didn't make it to SFW [...]
For Christmas this year Nathalie and I decided to try something new, so we booked an early Christmas eve dinner at Craftworks which boasted 2 hours of all you can eat buffet of Christmas-y foods, though mostly meat. Pangyo is a planned city built-in 2001 and you can tell. It's spacious, quiet and filled with [...]
While out holiday shopping one of the places my friend wanted to go to was Electro Mart. I didn't have a clue what it was, though I should have guessed. Electro Mart is a giant electronics shop that's seems to be a branch of E-mart. Only unlike E-mart Electro Mart is peppered with back story to [...]
I've seen a lot of advertisements for different musicals around Seoul, things I hadn't realized there were musicals of, like: "Sherlock Holmes", "Dracula", "Dorian Gray", and "Jekyll and Hyde". So I was curious and looked around at different musicals currently showing was really happy to find "The Count of Monte Cristo". I told my friend [...]
Waking up as a somewhat zombie on Sunday morning (due to stress and not getting enough sleep multiple nights in a row) I decided to pick some place for breakfast. We had checked into our hotel, braved our way around the fringes of that Saturday's protest, and even managed to watch Fantastic Beasts and Where [...]
All That Sweets is a bakery in Seoul just a short walk from Namseong station exit one. I do not think I've seen a cuter bakery. The shop is small and cozy with limited seating and somewhat limited hours. They are open from 11am-6pm Wednesday through Saturday and closed on the other days of the week. [...]
