What to See, Eat and Do in Korea (and Beyond)
October might be the best month to visit Korea. We’re firmly outside the grasp of summer and it’s the heart of autumn. The weather’s perfect for taking in outdoor events, going hiking, or just getting coffee in the afternoon.
Japchae is basically Korean stir-fried noodles typically made with mixed vegetables, meat and sweet potato glass noodles. My family absolutely loves it, but then again, most Korean families do! It’s something that’s always included in holiday feasts like Lunar New Year and Chuseok. And with Chuseok right around the corner, I thought I’d share my recipe with you.
Korea is full of beautiful and historical landmarks, but 경복궁 (Gyeongbokgung) will always be our favorite. We visit the palace at least once every season, in every kind of weather, any chance we get. We love the history, unique architecture and vibrant colors.
If you’ve been looking up Korean fashion brands, then no doubt you’ve come across the name “Blue Elephant”. But, because Blue Elephant is a newer brand, you might not know exactly what it is. Then, it’s a good thing we’ve got you covered.
Chuseok, or Korean Thanksgiving, is one of the biggest holidays of the year. And here’s your guide to getting the most out of it.
Jungkook’s “Golden: The Moments” exhibition is designed to commemorate his journey from debut to the release of his first solo album “GOLDEN” and it does not disappoint. The exhibition is spread over 2 floors and is divided into about 13 different spaces (14 if you include the shop at the end). It’s surprisingly extensive!
One of our favorites things about September is the number of cultural festivals and events that take place in early autumn. October has harvest festivals while November has a number of smaller local neighborhood festivals. But September is when we have multiple festivals and events centered around the historical royal court of Korea, each of which are amazing and definitely worth checking out.
September is a great time to visit Korea. We are slowly coming out of the sweltering heat of August and moving towards our personal favorite time of year… autumn! There’s a lot of fun things to see and do this time of year. Here are a few tips to help plan your trip!
