One of my favourite things about Korea is definitely the shopping. Normally when I say that people are like “oh is it really super cheap?” and to be honest that aspect of it is kind of just normal (well compared to Australian prices) but there’s just soo much more variety (SOOO MUCH MORE) and everything about the …
Let’s be real, sometimes you just need some Budae-jjigae. Or some “throw-in-everything-delicious” jjigae as I like to call it. For a bit of history Budae-jjigae is also called Army Base Stew. After the Korean War food was scarce and so people merged the traditional jjigae with surplus food items from the US military bases, like spam …
There were some seriously crazy hot days in Sydney these past few weeks, sporadically thrown in amongst the cold and wet days… Spring yay! I actually do really love Spring though, and not only because my birthday is at the end of this month (Halloween!) but because the weather is generally a nice mix of …
Last weekend I popped down in-between dance practices (for K-Pop Summit!) to Darling Harbour for K-FEST 2015! The weather was perfect and quite a crowd had gathered around by the time I got there, enjoying the performances on stage, chatting to the KTO about travelling to Korea (jealous), trying on beautiful Hanboks, making pretty lanterns and snacking on some …
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 …
This week was some of the craziest weather Sydney has seen in a long time- we had some really heavy storms with so much wind and rain… Perfect weather for staying indoors on the couch with Kdrama I say, but alas outside life must go on! What it did mean though was that the temperature …
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 …
Sunday! Wahhh… our last day of our magical trip in Seoul! But we may as well make the most of it, we thought! We got up relatively early and made sure to do the majority of our packing before heading down to consume basically the entire breakfast buffet. Over breakfast we decided on our plan of attack …
After Music Core we headed towards the D-Cube City, which houses the D-Cube Arts Centre, which is where Rudolf was showing! I hadn’t been to D-Cube before but it was really interesting! I guess it was kind of a megaplex of shops, restaurants, a hotel and the theatre. To be honest though, I was pretty glad we had Adela with …
The next day after Tour Day was the Saturday morning, and Hol and I woke up refreshed, excited and decided (rhyme!) we’d best spend the Lotte KOREA PASS that we’d also been given as part of the trip! The KOREA PASS is quite a useful little card- aimed for foreigners who don’t want to be …
