With the numerous Disney parks around the world, Paris Disneyland often gets lost in the shuffle. Even though it was the second park built outside the US, there still isn’t a wealth of knowledge about it on the web. That’s why we’ve prepped this handy guide to ride everything, buy the best merch and eat the best food at Paris Disneyland.
Samgyetang is a traditional Korean ginseng chicken soup. It consists of a whole chicken stuffed with garlic, glutinous rice, jujube and ginseng and cooked in a flavorful broth. It’s believed to help refresh the body and renew ones stamina. So naturally, it’s probably one of the most popular dishes to eat during bok-nal.
It seems like Hybe is going full steam ahead with these BTS pop-ups and we’re all here for it. This time it’s an exhibition for the one and only Kim Taehyung aka V. And the ‘ARTSPACE: TYPE 1’ exhibition coincides with the release of his latest 224 page photo book ‘Type 1.’
It should come as no surprise that Incheon International Airport has its own pop-ups. And, yes, they are definitely worth visiting. This time around, we were at ICN Terminal 1 checking for a flight when we came across an Aespa pop-up for their Armageddon album at the SMART PASS ID booth on the 3rd floor.
I highly recommend checking out the Fwee flagship store in Seongsu. They have dozens of shades to choose from and plenty of little makeup stations to swatch colors to your hearts content. There are even little helpful color charts to help pick colors according to your skin tone.

The city of Seoul has really ramped up their festival line up for the summer this year. In fact, it seems like there’s always something going no matter what day of the week it is. This rings especially true for the Gwanghwamun Knock Knock K-Food Festival that will be running until the end of 2024.
There’s an other side to Seoul that can be easily missed if you don’t know what to look for. That’s the side with tea ceremonies, museum exhibitions, and, for those with culinary inclinations, cooking classes.
If you’re visiting Korea in May, dress for warm weather but make sure to bring a light jacket or sweater for the nights when the temperature drops low. there are quite a few night events and festivals in May, so you want to make sure your wardrobe is flexible.
I first visited the StyleNanda flagship store in Myeongdong in 2016. It had just opened and their pink hotel theme…
You can plan for everything, but all it takes is a little rain (or monsoon) to rain on your parade. Whether it’s an outdoor picnic in spring or a walk through the park in summer, a rainy forecast can ruin the best laid plans.
