Jeju Olle Naengmyeon
It was right in the thick of summer, which made it perfect for eating naengmyeon (as per my friend’s order) – but there’s also never a bad time to eat pork soup! Continue reading Jeju Olle Naengmyeon

New Grand Hotel
If you’re on a super tight budget, want convenience, and are not staying in Daegu for too many days, I think New Grand Hotel (the name is so ironic lol) is not a bad choice. Just steer clear of the drunkards and you should be fine. Continue reading New Grand Hotel
Sanji Lighthouse (Jeju)
To be honest, we hadn’t heard of this place before, but it was one of the stops on the Jeju Golden City Bus Tour. We thought it would be interesting to visit a lighthouse in Korea, so we decided to get off at the stop and take a look. Iho Beach is conveniently located close … Continue reading Sanji Lighthouse (Jeju)
My Guide to Korea’s Café & Beverage Chains
Korea has so many café and beverage chains that it has become a fun challenge for tourists to attempt ticking all of them off their checklist. I personally have a checklist to keep track of what I have tried before, but if it’s your first time in Korea, how do you know which ones are … Continue reading My Guide to Korea’s Café & Beverage Chains
Onedang Gamjatang (Myeongdong 1)
I’m back with another review of a restaurant in Myeongdong! If you are wondering why I’m always talking about things to eat in Myeongdong, that’s because I always stay in this area during my Korea trips. It’s really convenient for tourists, + I have member’s discount & loyalty points for Skypark Myeongdong, so I might … Continue reading Onedang Gamjatang (Myeongdong 1)
Iho Tewoo Beach (Jeju)
Going to the beaches is a must-do in summer when you’re in Busan, but we absolutely did not expect to go to one on Jeju Island. We hadn’t exactly planned our Jeju itinerary at that time, but one of the stops on the Jeju Golden City Bus Tour was Iho Tewoo Beach, and we knew … Continue reading Iho Tewoo Beach (Jeju)
Namdaemun Market
Having been to Dongdaemun, I figured that it was time for us to also explore the other famous ‘-daemun’ in Seoul: Namdaemun. I’ve heard extensively about this being a really big market in Seoul, and people come here to buy all sorts of things. I wasn’t exactly looking to buy anything, but I always have … Continue reading Namdaemun Market
O’sulloc Tea Museum & Innisfree Jeju House
Is it a coincidence that Innisfree Jeju house is right next to O’sulloc Tea Museum? Definitely not! For those who are familiar with the brand, you may know that green tea (be it green tea seed or green tea itself) is one of their core ingredients. It is little wonder then, that you also find … Continue reading O’sulloc Tea Museum & Innisfree Jeju House
The Jincook (더진국): Gukbab
The backstory of how I came to eat this in Anam: I was visiting Korea University in the winter of 2017, and it was possibly the coldest day of my trip. If I recall correctly, temperatures fell to about -10 to -13 degrees Celsius that day, and I was inadequately prepared (think thin ankle socks, no … Continue reading The Jincook (더진국): Gukbab
Gwanghwamun Square
Many people may be familiar with this attraction, as it is located right smack in the middle of Seoul, and right opposite Gyeongbokgung! On August 1st, 2009, the redesigned Gwanghwamun Square opened to the public. The close to 20,000m2 Gwanghwamun Square is located at the center of Sejong-ro which connects Gwanghwamun Gate and Cheonggye Square. The … Continue reading Gwanghwamun Square
