One of the places that frequently comes on the ‘must visit’ list in Busan is Jagalchi Market. Now, I’m wary. These ‘must see’ places tend to be targeted at tourists and I am sure this is the same due to the lack of locals inside. Still, where else can you get very fresh seafood and…

Visiting the most heavily guarded border in the world is possible from Seoul. The Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) tours offer visitors a chance to go into the zone to see what the area is like on dedicated tourist buses in an area of the Korean peninsula that has existed since 1945. Visitors can only visit with…

Ice-creams are readily available on every street corner here in the plentiful convenience stores around the country. I also live and work near unmanned lolly stores which also sell ice-creams for 50cents! So a summer challenge for myself was to try as many ice cream flavours as my wallet and waistline allows. I wanted to…

Amanda has posted the last Friendly Friday Challenge as the team bid farewell to this challenge. The last prompt is turning points. I actually started my blog in 2013 but it looked a lot different from what is is today and I was more of a reposter. In hindsight, I really wished I had written…

When we were granted a summer vacation of 5 days, my travel itch could not be contained. I knew that our summer break fell in the middle of school holidays so I had to be quick on booking to secure the better prices. And so, I booked to go to Busan for the 5 days.…

We are out of the peak humidity right now in South Korea and whilst I’ve gotten use to being outside and being covered in my own stickiness, I am more cautious about the humidity within my apartment. With humidity, comes mould and is something that is not too foreign to me. Whilst living in Sydney…

Of course, I have dedicated a whole post to shoes. When I was trying to decide the minimal amount of shoes to bring (is it even minimal?), I kept going back and forth on my selection. I already know that I’ll be walking everywhere so no heels and I would need work appropriate shoes too.…

I had tried some Korean food before coming to Korea but little did I know that I was in for a big treat. Most meals out are served with banchan or side dishes. There are a variety of side dishes and some places make their own so there is never 2 banchan dishes which are…
