That’s right! Not only can I eat, but I can also cook (occasionally)! *beams proudly* This weekend I had one of my extremely-rare-but-happily-relatively-free Saturdays! I had been meaning to cook myself a good meal for the past couple of weeks so I thought this was the day! I enjoy the occasional cooking adventure, but I really …

My fourth Korean Travel Tip concerns one of the most important aspects of all travelling- $$$MONEY! For most of my travels my standard go-to was the Commonwealth Bank’s Travel Money Card, which is really ideal but… It currently doesn’t carry Korean Won. Ugh. So I had to make alternate plans (I’d still consider the Commbank TMC …

Here is my third Korean Travel Tip, which tells a little of my infatuation with Incheon Airport! ❤ Korea has two major airports- Incheon (the largest and primary airport) and Gimpo.

For those who are unfamiliar with the term, White Day is celebrated in Korea, Japan, Taiwan and China and occurs one month after Valentine’s Day (which is on the 14th February). Traditionally in these countries Valentine’s …

This will be the first of my little shared tips for travelling to Korea! They will be predominantly focused on Seoul, because I haven’t had much of the chance to travel outside of Seoul yet (although I’m desperate to!!). I hope they help you plan your own Korea Adventures, and if you have any further questions about …

Frank Wildhorn is releasing a new musical this year! ‘Death Note The Musical’! YES! My most favourite musical composer creating a new musical based on one of my most favourite animes! Frank Wildhorn is no doubt the master of dark and deeply moving musicals, with his credits including ‘Dracula‘, ‘Jekyll & Hyde’, ‘The Scarlet Pimpernel’, ‘Rudolf‘, …

During January I took a Korean Cuisine Banquet Class being offered by the Korean Cultural Office in Sydney and it was amazing! Not only did I learn a whole lot about Korean cooking and culture (and eat a whole lot of delicious dishes) but I met a whole bunch of really great people too! The …

On the 19th of January I was lucky enough to be invited along by the Korean Tourism Office to “Ukchuk-Ga: Pansori Mother Courage”, which was being performed at the Sydney Opera House as part of the 2015 Sydney Festival. Ukchuk-Ga is a Pansori adaption of the famous German play “Mother Courage” by Bertolt Brecht. In …
