Where in The World is Trish, Nights 3 & 4

PARADISE.
Truly the best 3 days I have ever spent on vacation.

Hints:
We were on an island the size of a football field.
We had no electricity from 8AM - 6PM each day.
The snorkeling was the best I have ever done.
We could walk in the water around the island for a good 1/2 - 3/4 of a mile.
We didn't have internet.
4 of us could have stayed forever....Boys 1 & 2 were happy to be going back to the land of WiFi.

The picture below is of the hotel rooms...they are on stilts in the water.

This picture is of Boy 3 eating the local cuisine for breakfast. Dried rabbit fish. It really was YUMMY!

Where in The World is Trish?

Sorry for the shotty picture...I took it with my camera and then had to take a picture of it with my phone because I realized too late that I don't have the right software on hubby's computer to upload it. 

Here are my hints from the 1st 2 nights of vacation....
The internet is horrible and many places advertise 'free facebook' which I am getting a kick out of
I am eating lots of mango
There are goats & chickens everywhere
The city itself is very dirty
I'm on an island that covers 65 km2 (25 sq mi), and is home to currently some 430,000 people
Below is a very popular mode of transportation

Jyoti Restaurant - Indian Food

12/22/2013

I cannot tell you how much I LOVE this restaurant.
Boy 1 found it first and told us we needed to go - he said it was the BEST Indian food he had ever eaten.
We didn't really listen to him because well, this is the only Indian food he has ever eaten.
Then one day I was on Tripadvisor and ran across it.  It was listed as the #1 Indian restaurant in Seoul.  I thought to myself - 'WHAT?! Is our boy onto something?' And we planned our first date there....then our 2nd, then out 3rd and so on. It is our FAVORITE Indian Restaurant in Seoul, hands down.
The food is great, the prices are good, the service is wonderful and the chef comes out and chats with you when he has time.

First thing they bring out Papadum an Indian cracker bread of sorts.  I like it dipped in the green sauce - raita - I don't think you are supposed to dip it in the green sauce, but really I love the green sauce and have been known to eat it by the spoonful.
Picture
Their tandoori chicken is the bomb.  It is so moist and juicy - then slather it with raita (green sauce) and man oh man...
Picture
We have had many, many dishes here.  All of which are fabulous.  The chicken tikki masala is my favorite and their mutton ROCKS.  The vindaloo dishes require the yogurt on the side because you will be ON FIRE.  Rogan Josh is fantastic...really everything has been exceptional! 
Picture
I'm writing this at 9AM and my mouth is watering.  If they were open I would happily go for breakfast.
Picture
Don't get me started on the naan....the butter garlic naan....
oh baby.
I love food.
Good food.
Picture
Picture
This last time we went the chef showered us with a few goodies....extra naan...he was trying out a cheese naan.  It was good, but garlic butter naan is and always will be my favorite.  At the end of our meal he brought us dessert.  Brown balls in a yogurt sauce.  I have no idea what they are really called, but this dessert was delicious!  The brown balls were super sweet, but the sweetness was offset by the tartness of the yogurt sauce. I could have easily eaten two.
Picture
So if you are looking for good and not overpriced Indian food in Seoul head on over to Jyoti (<--click the link) and you won't be disappointed.

Hiking Suraksan or Buramsan - I'm Not Sure Which One.

12/20/2013

1 Comment

 
I have been in a total blogging funk. 
I lost a ton of pictures (about 1 month worth) and I have been searching and searching for them.  I KNOW I downloaded them and put them in Lightroom because I always download AND PLUS I edited a few for Facebook.  But after searching for over a month I cannot find them anywhere.  So because of that I have been in a FUNK, FUNK, FUNK.   And to make my funk even worse for some reason the pictures from the same dates from Hubby's camera are still on the computer and still in Lightroom.  I think it is a conspiracy.  I don't know what the conspiracy is, but I'm pretty sure there is one.

SO....all of these pictures are from Hubby's camera, however he doesn't take as many photos as I do.  I also take pictures of 'how to get there' so I can tell you guys in detail, but alas those pictures are gone, so I will give you directions but they won't be as good as they normal.


We hiked this back in September.
We planned to hike Buramsan, but think we ended up on Suraksan.
Take line 4 to Danggogae - the very last stop.   Just get off the subway and follow the other hikers.   I remember seeing a GS convenience store turning right...it looks like you are heading into a neighborhood....but just keep going I'm sure you will end up on a mountain somewhere.

This was a really fun but hard hike.  We went as high as we could, but we couldn't finish it because it we would have needed clips and rope to finish.  About 3/4 of the way into the hike I starting having mini anxiety attacks because I was afraid one of the kids fall off the side of the mountain.  This hike is not for beginners....unless you just hike the beginning part of it. If you have kids with you or you are not an advanced hiker turn back once it starts getting hard  because it never gets easier after that.

And so it began...just like any other hike.

Then we happened upon this cute little temple.

The monkey statues were adorable.
As were 3 of our little monkeys.

One of the kids favorite things about hiking in Korea!
1/2 way up ICE CREAM!!!
Picture
This wasn't even the hardest part!
Picture
This is the highest we went.
After about 3/4 of the way up the kids started getting high fives and thumbs up from random strangers.
Picture
The view was AMAZING.
Picture
See those rock climbers to the right of my head? 
That's pretty much what the rest of this hike was.
Picture
I would like to do this hike 1 more time, without the kids before we move...maybe in the spring.
Happy Hiking!

    Hi, I'm Trish, the writer, creator and photographer of this blog.  I started this blog for 2 reasons, 1 - When I found out we were moving to Korea back in 2008 I was a little freaked out and started scouring the internet for information on Korea. At that time there wasn't much out there so I am doing my part in helping families across the world not be so freaked out when it comes time to move to Korea.  The 2nd reason I started this blog was to help stay connected to family members back in the states.  Today it is so much more that.
    I hope you enjoy our journey.

    Are you moving to Korea?  Do you have questions, concerns?  Are you freaking out?   Freak out no further -  click the button to ask a question.  I'll do my best to answer open and honestly.
    Moving to Korea?
