Cya Later, Seoul: Things I’ll Miss About Korea
So Long, Korea! My life here has been incredible, but even in Neverland you’ll find you have your ups and downs. Last week, to the dismay of many on Facebook, I wrote about the things I hate about living as a foreigner (expat) in Korea. This week, on a more positive note, I’m sharing just…
Weekend Warriors: Daedun Cloud Bridge and Chateau Mani Winery
On a Friday night in February, I hopped on a bus from the WinK Taphouse and headed down to the middle of Korea. WinK has definitely stepped up their food menu game. I really enjoyed the spicy mac and cheese, which had a real kick to it and plenty of bacon. The ooey-gooey cheese is…
Seoulfood: 12 Korean Dishes for Picky Eaters
Seoulfood: 12 Korean Dishes for Picky Eaters I don’t typically think I’m a particularly picky eater.

We had seen the sea parting once, not knowing it would part two more times again by sundown.

Korean BBQ – we’re doing it wrong!
On Saturday February 27th, 2016 The Toronto Seoulcialite (http://torontoseoulcialite.com), Expat and the City (expatandthecityblog.com), and some friends of ours went out to Nano Galmegi (nanomeat.kr) for Korean beef BBQ in Seomyeon, a downtown area of Busan, South Korea. This is our take on Korean BBQ, and while I’m sure many of the customs and traditions have been interpreted differently than a Korean might like, we did our best and had a very fun evening!
