Seoul is chockfull of tiny little restaurants, cafes and boutiques. I guess that’s part of its charm; leave no crevice unfilled. This particular “charm” also makes it very difficult to find good/ unique places at times. I can imagine this to be particularly frustrating for tourists on a time schedule, or even those who are staying in Korea temporarily. For people living in Korea indefinitely, … Continue reading Hidden Treasures: 8 1/2 *UPDATED*
Playing dress-up was a big part of my childhood. I was always fascinated with theatrics and the idea of being able to be someone else. Growing up, my mom would keep all our halloween costumes, “jeweled” accessories and vintage clothes in a big storage bin so that my sister and I would have access to them and get to use them more than just once … Continue reading Princess for a Day
When Julie Andrews sang a song of her favorite things, I have a thing or two she may have missed; one of them being brunch! I love breakfast, but far to often my random and sometimes hectic schedule doesn’t permit me to indulge in this morning ritual of bliss. So for me, and others like me, brunch was created. The joy of having breakfast in … Continue reading Brunch: The Most Important Meal of the Day
Korea has become quite well known for its pet cafes, especially among tourists. Dog and cat cafes can be found all over Seoul, but that doesn’t mean they are all worth going to. Areas that are heavily populated with tourists tend to have pet cafes that are less than enjoyable because they are over crowded, understaffed or not very well maintained. To any dog lover … Continue reading Ellie House

These are not exactly easy things to find all in one place and I’m actually quite picky on top … Continue reading Apple of My Pie: Zera’s Cafe
If you follow my blog and have gone in search of Bau House in 홍대 (Hongdae), you may have been surprised to find it nowhere in sight. No need to despair friends! Actually, they moved to a bigger, better and easier to find location near 합정역 (Hapjeong Station). It’s been quite sometime now since the move, sorry for the super late post. The new location has a … Continue reading The **NEW** Bau House
Exactly one month after Valentine’s Day comes the holiday known as White Day. While guys get all the love, attention and chocolate on Valentine’s Day, March 14th is a time for them to return the favor to their lovely ladies. Unlike the chocolate inspired deliciousness that is Valentine’s Day, White Day focuses more on the sugary goodness of candy. Quite frankly I prefer chocolate to … Continue reading White Day 2013
Now I’m more of a dog person… nothing against cats or anything, but I just like my pets to be a little more attentive and social. I guess I’m just a firm believer in the whole “man’s best friend” ideology. I guess you could say I like cats but I would never want to own one. Despite my undying love for dogs, apparently I’m friends … Continue reading Cat Scratch Fever
