Changdeokgung was the first palace (out of four) that I went to in Seoul. It took me quite awhile to whittle down the number of photos to post so just a warning that this will be picture-heavy. I was excited about seeing this palace the most because there was a highly recommended ‘Secret Garden’ tour within the … More Changdeokgung
I have been missing Korean food a lot. It’s hard to find people that share the same enthusiasm for Korean cuisine as much as I do so I don’t eat it as much as I used to. I really only started appreciating Korean food some years ago when I was dating a Korean and got to learn more … More Seoul Food
The Seoul Tower (or Namsan Tower) was one of the landmarks that I looked forward to seeing most in Seoul. It was a really cold and windy night when Rachel and I went to check it out. We had already rescheduled it from the night before because it was also really cold and we were … More Up close with N Seoul Tower
Gwangjang market is, quite simply, food heaven. The marketplace is lined with stalls and stalls of delicious-looking food which can make it very hard to choose what to eat and has all the hustle and bustle you would expect from any market in Asia. I went there twice – once on my first trip with Rachel … More Gwangjang Market
The Trick Eye Museum was a recommendation from Janet and it sparked an immediate interest as I haven’t come across anything like that so far here or during my travels and it sounded pretty fun. The catch is that it is not a place where you can go alone as you need a partner to take photos … More Trick Eye Museum (and Ice Museum)
I had never heard of Schneeballen (snowball in German) before going to Korea. One look at the name and you can tell immediately that it isn’t something local. The way it was shaped looked interesting though and my love of pastries was the only reason why I would try a German snack in Seoul. And really, how … More Schneeballen
On the same day of our brekky feast at Namdaemun Market, Rachel and I headed off to Sinchon. It was quite a jam-packed day as we had a number of attractions/activities lined up all in different neighbourhoods. We went to check out Ewha Womans University first in Sinchon which is one of Korea’s most prestigious … More Sinchon
I love ice cream. Whether it’s from a gelateria, in package form, or from Maccas, I’ve loved eating it for as long as I can remember. (Probably not something I should be proud of but I have no problem devouring a 500mL tub in one sitting. I may or may not have also finished a 1L tub at once too.) … More I scream for ice cream
I remember when the rice burger craze started that I really wanted to try it because it just looks like something that I would enjoy but unfortunately, there weren’t any places selling them here in Sydney so it never happened. During my first trip, after my trusty companion Rachel (hi!) left, I decided to give … More MOS Burger Seoul
Just a few things I spotted in the public toilets in Seoul.
