My summer didn't quite go as planned. But luckily it included a bit more adventure. When some of my summer plans fell through I got into contact with a friend who was interning in Tokyo and who (pretty much as soon as she got in Tokyo) kept telling me to visit. So I bought a [...]

You Are Here
The You Are Here Cafe is located in Hongdae. My first weekend in Korea, my friend who let me spend the night took me to the cafe before I headed home. My first time to the You Are Here cafe I ordered the Croquette Monsieur. Which is a french grilled cheese sandwich with bechamel sauce, [...]
Ppiokko
One of the stations I make all my transfers from when I'm heading to Seoul has this little food station called Ppiokko. Everytime I've gone past it it's been packed with a line going on and on. But recently I arrived too early to meet up with a friend so I decided I'd wait in [...]
콩불 남포점
We had hoped to find a fish restaurant to have dinner or something we hadn't had yet. Walking the clogged streets near the fish market in Busan was stressful but eventually we found a BBQ place and popped in. We ordered the basic main dish, kongbul to split. It was a bit spicy for me [...]
Framboises bakery
On our way from where the bus dropped us off to the nearest train station we passed by Framboises bakery then turned around and went back in. It's a small bakery but nice. We just wanted a small snack so we got two chocolate covered matcha balls. They were delicious and beautiful. I loved the friendly [...]
Wonsan cold noodles
After leaving the beauty and protective shade of Moontan Road we went in search of food. All I really wanted was air conditioning. I didn't want to go anywhere that might give me accidental spicy food and I was really skeptical when Nathalie picked Wonsan. Partially because it didn't look air conditioned and we had [...]
Dalmaji Moontan Road 문탠로드
Nathalie was sent to Busan with a task from a coworker. To get stamps at Starbucks in Busan in a Starbucks book. Maybe I don't go to Starbucks often, I definably don't in Korea, but I thought it was interesting that there was a stamp collecting going on a bit like a passport. When we [...]
Sea Life Busan Aquarium
After a bit of a detour we found ourselves at the Busan aquarium. It's right next to Haeundae Beach beach. Nathalie went off to take a closer look at the packed beach but searching for the nearest shade I headed for the entrance line. The line to the aquarium was long but moved quickly. The aquarium [...]
Art Village 솔밭
After Shinsegae we planned to go to the aquarium. Sadly Google first lead us directly to a pet store. Melting from the heat and burning from the sun I found a different address for the aquarium on my phone and led us from one side of shaded street to the next. One of the side streets we [...]
Busan-KTX and getting around
Nathalie and I had a similar summer vacation so we decided to do a small trip together. We were suppose to go to Busan and Jeju but due to problems like the ferries not running we had to scrap our trip to Jeju for the time being. So we headed to Busan for 4 days. [...]
