Holidays away from home can be difficult. Especially when your far from home and things aren't the same. As I mentioned in my previous post, cooking in South Korea can be difficult. Not completely impossible but depending on where you live and what you have access to can make a big difference. Cooking for Thanksgiving was [...]

Foreign Food Market
Cooking in South Korea can be difficult, where I live my food tends to go bad quickly and the options are limited. So if I want to get anything special I have to go somewhere else. Which is really bad for cold things. Since the holiday season is around I really wanted to buy candy [...]
Linus’ Bama Style Barbecue 라이너스 바베큐
Linus's Bama Style BBQ is located in Itaewon near exit 4. They make traditional American bbq foods like pulled pork sandwiches and brisket. They also have a pretty decent sized drink menu (alcoholic) that I didn't end up trying. They're open for lunch (11:30-3:00) and dinner (5/5:30-10/10:30). I ordered their pulled pork sandwich which comes with [...]
Potala
While half asleep, having made our way to Myeongdong to wander about and try to do some shopping, I tried to plan ahead for lunch. I was really surprised Myeongdong was so empty, though maybe it being a rainy Sunday morning around 11am had something to do with it. When searching for vegetarian restaurants in Myeongdong [...]
Blue Square: Les Miserable
In high school I took 3 and a half years of French classes (not that I remember much of the language), mostly because the other language was taught by a teacher who spoke in monotone and the other reason was I actually really enjoyed the class.

Italy Mill is a more traditional pizza place in Korea, and has a somewhat fancy sophisticated air . My [...]
Taco & Rice 타코 앤 라이스
Taco and Rice is a small Mexican restaurant in Edae. Nathalie and I went there for dinner. The food was good. I ended up getting a quesadilla and burning my tongue from the spiciness. Luckily it came with a little side salad and some sour cream. The flavor was great it just hurt for me [...]
Peggy Pie
After arriving at Edae I was hungry and after seeing the long lines for some of the street food I decided on this small pie shop that had small savory pies. It was a bit confusing at first because you can either order from outside at the window or inside, but there isn't much space [...]
이대 Edae Ehwa Women’s University
Edae is the area where Ehwa Women's University is located. This university neighborhood is peaceful and a great place to shop. Nathalie and I went just to wander around, first stopping in the Daiso and being surprised at all the cute options there were in comparison to some of the other Daiso's we'd been to. We [...]
