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. Continue reading Gyeongbokgung Night Tour (Updated September 2023)
Even at first glance, you’d never mistake Cheolgil Tteokbokki for a run-of-the-mill restaurant. The windows are foggy even though the air is clear, and decades of Seoul’s humid summers and frigid winters have warped the planks that cover the building. Inside, the tteokbokki sauce bubbles in its oversized pans and fills the entire restaurant with the signature, mouth-watering gochujang scent. The menu is sweet and … Continue reading Cheolgil Tteokbokki (철길떡볶이)
This summer, on top of skyrocketing Covid cases, we were also hit with a horrible heat wave. One thing to know about Seoul is that summer heat is always coupled with a miserable amount of humidity. It’s wet and always feels 10 degrees hotter than it actually is. It was at this point in time that our AC unit decided to die beyond the point … Continue reading Pet Friendly Hotel in Seoul

Being a family holiday, most people venture out to the countryside to spend this holiday gathered at the homes of their grandparents, but lucky for me my boyfriend’s grandmother lives … Continue reading A Hanbok for the New Year
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
Aside from my devotion to dance, I am also an avid lover of art. Ever since I was old enough to hold a pencil, my dad taught me how to draw. I suppose it was only natural that I find a boyfriend who shares the same interest. Although neither one of us went into art as a major we do still sketch for fun and … Continue reading A Look into Tim Burton’s Seoul
