Grammy Visits Gwangjang Market

1/10/2014

I previously wrote about Gwangjang Market here.
We knew Grammy would love this place when she came to visit!
(She visited back in October.)
Here we go Gwangjang Market with Grammy:

Shopping in the market:
These are Korean Wedding Ducks.
Wedding ducks are a pair of duck carvings, traditionally Mandarin ducks. They are used in Korean wedding ceremonies and often giving as marriage gifts. Mandarin ducks are used because it is believed that unlike any other types of ducks Mandarins mate for life and if one of them dies the other will mourn. I'm not sure for how long, but they mourn. :) Korean believe the Mandarin ducks represent peace, fidelity and lots of kids.
Female ducks are red, males are green or blue.

The craziness of the market.
Motorcycles in the aisle, no rhyme or reason.
Blanket stall right next to a food stall.

I'm not sure if this is plastic food molded to look like fish or rice cakes molded to look like fish.

A common site all over Korea.

The nucleus of the market - the FOOD STALLS!
Where Koreans from all over come to eat some of the best and oldest style of street food available in Korea!

Hubby made sure his momma had food...

I made sure she had makkoli!

She had no desire to eat some of the cuisine here:

But she did enjoy the mung bean pancakes!

All in all a great trip to the Gwangjang Market!

To get there:
Jongno-3-ga Station Exit 12.
Walk straight for a few blocks, you will come to a bigger intersection, look to your right and you will see the entrance to the Gwangjang Market.
Enter and walk down the alley for quite a while...you will start seeing food stalls, but don't stop until you hit the mother load and start seeing places to sit and eat. You will know when you have arrived.
Good luck and happy eating!! :)

Jyoti Restaurant - Indian Food

12/22/2013

12 Comments

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.

Their tandoori chicken is the bomb. It is so moist and juicy - then slather it with raita (green sauce) and man oh man...

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!

I'm writing this at 9AM and my mouth is watering. If they were open I would happily go for breakfast.

Don't get me started on the naan....the butter garlic naan....
oh baby.
I love food.
Good food.

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.

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.

To get there:
Subway line #2 to Sinchon Station
Walk out Exit 5
At the VERY FIRST street turn RIGHT (about 10 steps!) and look up...you will see it 1 block back.

Tuesdays With Trish - Bulgogi and Squid Restaurant Near Hannam Village

8/22/2013

3 Comments

As most of you know I drive a 'hooptie' over here. If you unfamiliar with what a hooptie is click here and check it out.
Anyway, if you go back to that old post I said we got a 'great deal'. HAHAHAHA! I'm cracking up over that one...but OK, if this car will last us for another 10 months I'm still insisting we got a good deal. :o)

Aren't my friends pretty? Wonder what they are up to? Well the back seat of my 'hooptie' is broken. Stuck. The seat won't lift up. They are sitting on top of the folded down seat and yes, we are driving out into the world's 3rd largest city to go to lunch. You think we are crazy? Well maybe, but they had a choice, drive in Korea or let Trishie drive and sit in an unsafe car. This was their choice. And they are happy about it. And we all lived to tell the tale.

Now on to our lunch story:
This is where we had lunch.
We don't know the name of it.
Heck, we didn't even know where we were going.
Diane was a fearless leader.
She told me where to go.
But check it out....see that van?
That is my van.
That is valet parking.
I parked the car myself.
I gave the 'valet' my key.
When we were done I gave him 2,000 won.
He gave my key back to me.
Valet parking at its finest.

Upon entry we saw the drink cooler.
Marci eyeballed this Plum Wine.
We had to drink it because....well....really, who would not want to be seduced into softness?

Ready to be seduced.

WOW.....seduced into softness.
Maybe not.
I made that face....you know the one.
The one that after you have tasted something so bad you gag a little.
Yeah that one.

Give me a bowl of makkoli any day.
Michelle made the face with the Makkoli.
(Don't worry, I only had a few sips - I was driving remember!)

We had a dish that is bulgogi and squid in a spicy sauce with all this yummy goodness on top.
As with many Korean restaurants you cook your own food.
I've got to tell you, I LOVED this restaurant.
The food was amazing.
Perfect amount of spice for me.
Some of the other girls weren't huge fans, but only because they are new to Korea and they don't like seafood.
We should have ordered the plain bulgogi for the newbies.

When you are almost done and there is just a little bit of goodness left in the bottom of your cooking pan, they make fried rice out of the leftovers. The lady comes over tosses in the rice and all the left over goodies from your table and you cook it up. YUM, YUM, YUM!

From what I understand this little hole in the wall is a pretty famous for the dish we ate. There are signatures all over the walls and from what I was told these are signatures of famous Koreans.

To drive here from post:
Exit Commissary gate - turn left
Stay right - Turn right onto Itaewon Street
Turn left on Daesagwan-ro - this street has a light.
(You will be going through a street with many lights and lots of people walking - near Hannam Village)
At the light pretty far down just before you come to the big intersection (Daesagwan-ro) turn left a - it's kind of a crazy light - I think it is just flashing, maybe not even a light at all - but more of a 4 way stop.
The restaurant is on your right just a few stores down.
Park on the street in front of the restaurant.

Good luck!!

Tuesdays With Trish - Campkah or Samarikant - Russian or Uzbek - I'm so Confused.

7/16/2013

1 Comment

Sometimes we just have WAY too much fun!
Kelly (blue shirt) was our fearless leader for this lunch bunch.

She took us to what I thought was called Campkah. I mean look at the sign below. Wouldn't you think that is the name of the place? But no - if you do a search you will realized that the real name is Samarikant. If that isn't confusing enough for this North Texas girl....the food is Uzbek. Really? I thought it was Russian. I had to Google Uzbekistan. I'm sorry if that just made me look less intelligent, but really, I am lost. SO what I have learned is that Uzbekistan is located in Central Asia, south of Russia. It shares most of its borders with Kazakhstan.Uzbekistan is in Central Asia, north of Turkmenistan, south of Kazakhstan. Are we clear now? That is the food I ate on this day. I'm still not sure of everything I ate, but I was VERY happy with the end result. Oh and Kelly used to live in Mongolia....that is why she picked this restaurant. (WHAT?!?!)

To my delight they had amazing Russian vodka at super low prices!! The bottles were only 10,000 won each. Of course since we were here we had to partake in Russian/Uzbek (still super confused) tradition and share a bottle. We also tried the beer. I like how they number their beers. 9, 7, 6 & 3. 3, a lager was my favorite. One of those was a dark beer which I tried and liked & was totally shocked that I liked it because on a normal day I do not like dark beer. Maybe it was the vodka?

After the vodka we considered smoking the hookah pipe, (you know - when in Rome, or Russia or Uzbekistan...) but in the end decided against it and we just forced Kelly to pose for a picture. :o)

I'm not really sure what all the foods are in the next pictures, but I can tell you that as I am writing and looking at these pictures my mouth is watering. The food really was delicious. Most of the food items have lamb in them, but if you don't know what you are eating you will devour it and not even know you just ate lamb...just ask the 2 girls at the table that "don't eat lamb". They had no idea and only freaked out AFTER we told them what they ate.

I do have to make a special mention about the kababs. HOLY GOODNESS. Best kebabs I have ever eaten! We ordered lamb and chicken. I thought the lamb was good...totally tender,amazing flavor and just totally goodness all the way around. BUT THEN I tried the chicken kebabs.....totally blew the lamb kebabs OUT OF THE WATER! They were so moist that the juice would squirt out as you took a bite. They were tender, juicy and just melted in your mouth. If you go make sure you order the chicken kebabs!

To get there:
Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station (you can get there using subway lines 2, 4 or 5!)
Take Exit 5.
Go right and turn left at the intersection at Mareunnae-ro Street.
Go straight a few steps and you will see a very small alley - turn right down this alley!!
Do you see it??? There is a car in the alley....easy to miss right between megobuks and that orange sign.

Go straight until you come upon the restaurant.
If they make you go into a different restaurant, don't worry, they own them all.

Address - Gwanghee-Dong-1-ga 162 Jungu-Seoul
Phone - 02 2277 4261
Price - starters W2000, mains W10,000
Hours - 9am-midnight

Happy eating!

Tuesday's With Trish - Yum Thai - Sinsa Area

6/24/2013

1 Comment

If you have been following me for a while you know how much I LOVED Yum Thai when we ate here a few months ago. In fact, I have dubbed it as my FAVORITE Thai restaurant in Korea and that is why I felt I really needed to share this hidden gem with the gals in the lunch bunch! After lunch today I am sticking by my decision - Yum Thai is my favorite Thai restaurant in Seoul. I might even go as far as to say that the Sinsa area is my new favorite area in Seoul.
If you know of a better Thai restaurant in Seoul, please feel free to leave a message in the comments section and tell me all about it - and include directions!

For newbies to Korea it might seem a little odd that they (almost all restaurants in Korea/Asia) deliver food when it is done...servers don't wait till everyone's order is ready. They bring it out piping hot and ready to eat. I kind of like it like this. It was a hard transition though as I have always waited till everyone has their food to eat...however, I try to embrace the culture I am living in....like eating when the food comes out, no tipping your food servers or anyone else for that matter and moving people out of my way when in a congested area. I really like that one. Put hands on hips an scoot them over - and NO ONE GETS MAD! How awesome is that?!

I tried to snap as many pictures as I could before everyone started diving into their food. Some I tried, come I didn't.

Fresh Spring Rolls - if you like spring rolls, you will love these!

Yummy Thai Chicken Wings they always come out piping hot so you have to wait a little while to eat them or you burn the top of your mouth. I know this from experience.

Pad Thai - I'm not a fan of Pad Thai in general so I did not try this, but it looks good! :o)

Spicy Beef Salad is my all-time FAVORITE Thai dish. I could eat it every day. At Yum Thai I order it American Spicy and it has just the right amount of heat for me. Follow it down with a nice cold Singha and pretend you have sand between your toes and you almost feel like you are in Thailand....

Green Curry with Chicken. A little bit of Thai heaven.

Cashew Chicken. WOW. This could rival the Spicy Beef Salad. My friend ordered this, I had a bite and then I ordered one to go! My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Both times I have eaten here I have LOVED it. I wish it were closer OR that they would hurry up and open the new subway line so that Sinsa is only 1 stop from my house with NO line changes. Does anyone know when they are opening the new line?

Anyway....while having dinner I ask the manager/owner maybe (?) if I could have the Singha sign behind their beer tap. He said yes, but I just thought it was one of those Korean type yes'...you know when they tell you yes because they don't like to say no. (And I thought maybe he just wanted to shut me up...) But when I got ready to leave he went and got the sign and gave it to me!! I'm so excited! Hubby loves his new sign (Singha is our favorite beer)! Yum Thai, this just sealed the deal. You have a customer for as long as I live here and I will continue to spread the word!

To get there by subway:
Line 3 Sinsa Station - Exit 1
Walk straight for 4 blocks (I'm counting all cross streets as blocks!)
After the 4th street look to your right and you will see Yum Thai on your right.
(A big tower name J-Tower is on the left side of the street directly across from Yum Thai.)

Tuesdays With Trish ~ Pancake Story

6/18/2013

0 Comments

This past week we went to A Pancake Story, a cute little pancake story.
I love the atmosphere.

I love sitting outside with the ladies.

And I love watching the hussle and bustle of this cute little kitchen & the staff of 3.

Plus, they know me so well:

A Pancake Story is a tiny little cafe Hannam-dong that can hold maybe 20 customers when the patio is open! In April of 2010 10 Magazine ranked them as the #1 place in Seoul for brunch so I was excited to head out and try them. However I need to learn to lower my expectations. This place was good, but not someplace I would RAVE about or even go back to when there are so many other places in the city that are way better....like Bim Bom, which is only 2 or 3 doors down.

YUMMY cinnamon apples & bananas on top of plain pancakes:

Crispy nut pancakes with chocolate chips. Jennifer ordered this and her review on Facebook was: (taken with her permission)

"Gave a Pancake Story a try today in Hannam-dong . Cute place, great company, but the food did not make my taste buds do back flips. The pancakes needed vanilla and the nuts (stuffed) needed to either be slightly candied or the peanuts swapped for pecans. Thank goodness they allowed some chocolate chips to be added. :) I also had two over medium eggs, they were just eggs nothing fancy. The peach iced tea was tasty."

As for me, I ordered cream cheese and mozzarella pancakes (for 7,300 won), a side salad (I don't' know how much it was) and 2 eggs (2,000 won) over medium. Personally I was highly disappointed. The salad was lettuce a cherry tomato and a few sprouts - I ordered the dressing on the side - look at the picture. The eggs were cooked over HARD not over medium and the pancakes were a total disappointment. If you want cream cheese and mozzarella pancakes, which I think everyone should try at least once I recommend going to Butterfinger Pancake and have theirs!

I'm glad I tried A Pancake Story & it wasn't bad, but it's not in my top 10 either.

To drive here from post:
Exit Commissary gate - turn left
Stay right - Turn right onto Itaewon Street
Turn left on Daesagwan-ro - this street has a light.
(You will be going through a street with many lights and lots of people
walking - near Hannam Village)
Come to the end of the street and turn
left onto Dokeseodang-ro (you will go under a highway of sorts-
Hannam-daero and straight across)
Right after you go under Hannam-daero A Pancake Story will be on your left side on the corner.
We parked across the street under the big office building.
(Where Dr. Sung's office is located.)

Tuesdays With Trish - Trevia!

6/16/2013

1 Comment

A few weeks ago the girls and I went to Trevia in Itaewon-dong.
Not the main street in Itaewon, but closer to the Noksapyung Subway station.
OR out the Kimchi Pot Gate.

I have a couple of friends that just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place.

It is a quaint little place...they have coffee, beer, wine and all kinds of pizza!
And their presentation is very nice!

This sweet potato pizza was very unique.

Below:
Pizza slice at top: 4 cheese pizza - 4 different types of cheese, but in the four corners (scratching head on that one!) Middle: pretty good, mushroom pizza and bottom: margarita pizza - seems to be missing a few things.

I'm glad I tried Trevia, but for a good slice of traditional pizza I would much rather go to my favorite pizza place - Pizza Peel!

To get there:
From the Kimchi Pot Gate:
Exit and take a right.
Go down and cross the street.
Come out on the right exit and walk just a few feet and you will see Trevia on your left.

Tuesdays With Trish - Butterfinger Pancake!

6/10/2013

A few weeks ago the girls and I tried out Butterfinger Pancake!
Everyone RAVES about this place so I had to get in on the action.
The only problem - no one could give me directions, so I devised a plan.
One that has worked well for me all these years I have lived in Korea.
We took a cab to Butterfinger Pancake so I could figure out how to drive here.
That plan failed when the cab driver got lost.
True Story.
Our cab driver GOT LOST.

What I can do is tell you what I thought of Butterfinger Pancake and give you the addresses of the numerous Butterfinger Pancake joints around Seoul.

First off, it was kind of hidden, tucked away in little alley like streets.
We went to the one in Gangnam.

At first I was excited...
And then this came out:

Really? I thought..
This is what everyone is raving about?
I can make breakfast WAY better looking than this.
But I gave it a try.
Seriously...not good.
OK, but not good.
I would definitely NOT come back for this meal.
Way to expensive and basically just B.O.R.I.N.G.

Then came the cream cheese and mozzarella pancakes.
I wasn't expecting much.
BUT HOLY GOODNESS.
These were divine!
Melt in your mouth cheesy goodness!
But not too cheesy...just the right amount!
I was in heaven.
They didn't even need syrup, however it did work well with them!

Yes, yes, I will go back for these pancakes.
I'll just skip the sausage and the rest of the breakfast.

I found 3 locations:
85-6 Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul 02-3448-1070
1317 Seocho-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul 02-532-5740
9 Jeongja-1-dong, Bundang-gu, Seongnam 031-785-9994

And make sure you are prepared, Butterfinger Pancake is not cheap!

Tuesday's With Trish - Omega 3 Samgyetang

5/20/2013

2 Comments

A few of the girls and I have started a 'lunch bunch' on Tuesdays.
One day a week where we get together with no kids, eat a (hopefully) delicious lunch and share all the things that are going on in our lives (the awesome, the good, the bad and the ugly).
There are a few rules and it seems I am breaking one of them right now....
"What happens in lunch bunch stays in lunch bunch".
I just can't help sharing.
It is who I am.

I had been dying to try Samgyetang even though I didn't really expect to like it.
Samgyetang translates to "'ginseng chicken soup".
Hubby was glad I took the 'Lunch Bunch' because he was afraid I was going to make him tag along. :o)

In Korean culture it is believed that this soup can prevent illness.
Samgyetang is traditionally eaten during the summer months to replace nutrients lost through excessive sweating.

However you can eat it any time of the year as there are restaurants dedicated only to Samgyetang (like the one we went to) and since I really don't want to eat this hot dish during the heat of the summer so we tried it towards the end of winter.

The lady that worked at the restaurant wanted to make sure I got a picture of the ginseng. I was glad she did because sometime workers can be put off by all my picture taking. :o)

Nice restaurant for Korea!

My friend Julie is new to the peninsula, and was pretty impressed by the silverware in the drawer of the table (as we all are the first time we encounter it!). Kris, AKA Vanna showing us the drawer. Love these girls!

And here it is!
The star of the show...
Samgyetang!

What did I think?
Well, it was WAY better than what I expected! The ginseng wasn't too strong and the broth was a bit like chicken and dumplings broth. Kind of simple. I liked it. It is not something I would have weekly or monthly, but give me a cold day in winter and I might just find myself heading back over to Omega 3.

Plus you get a wishbone and that's just cool.

How to get there:
(I only know how to drive there.)
Leave from Visitors Center gate 13 - turn right and get in the right hand lane.
Take the first right (at the light) and go over the railroad tracks. Stay in the left lane.
At the first light make a left.
At the first right make a right.
Go until you see a small 4 way intersection - look across the street to the left and you will see Omega 3 Samgyetang restaurant on the bottom floor.
Park in the lot.
I didn't pay for parking - I don't think you have to as many people were helping me park and unpark. :o)
The outside of Omega 3 looks like this:

Brooklyn Burger

2/14/2013

9 Comments

Holy Mother of all Things Good.

A few weeks ago Hubby mentioned that he wanted a 'really good burger' and then he ate at Burger King. My poor sweet husband - craving a hamburger so bad he settled for BK. It was at that moment I knew my next quest was to find my man a good burger in Seoul. It would prove to be a challenge, but a challenge that I was up for.

I ask a few people - looked on line a little and it wasn't until I was in the commissary and saw a lady that I thought I knew but wasn't sure how I knew her but I always smile & nod at her when I see her - on this day after the smile/nod combo she walked up to me and said "Hi, you are Trish, right?" It wasn't until that moment that I realized we had never met in person. It turns out she was here in Korea the last time I was AND we have 33 mutual friends on Facebook. We have been in each others news feeds for over 4 years but never met in person. Anyway, I'm not sure how it happened (but I'm pretty certain you can thank my 'gift of gab') but she ended up telling me about Brooklyn Burger. She was raving about the burgers, fries and shakes - something about Nutella & toasted marshmallows....I was IN! So today, Friday in Korea time, Hubby has a day off so we jumped in the car and headed to Brooklyn Burger to get my man his fix.

We almost missed it because it is tucked away at the bottom of a street in the corner.
And it is *tiny*!
There is only seating for about 23-30
people.
And it was JAM PACKED!

I must admit I wasn't totally excited about eating a BURGER in Korea and I *almost* suggested to Hubby that we go to the Mackerel Lady instead. I mean I just wasn't feeling it.
Until...
We opened the door and the smell of hamburgers, REAL hamburgers begin fried up on a grill hit my nostrils.
It was at that moment my mouth started watering, my stomach started growing and I was instantly taken back to when I was 10 years old and entering Mr. Frosty's, an awesome little burger joint in my home town.

There wasn't even kimchi on the menu!
At this point I am hoping all my scenses are right and I have found Burger Utopia.
AND THEN...
I saw this....

Dr. Pepper.
IN KOREA.
In a restaurant.
All the stars are lining up.
Keeping my fingers crossed that it is as good as it smells.

Not only do they have Dr. Pepper, but they also have this:

What is that you ask?
Looks like onions on a plate to you?
Look again.
It is a FULL SIZE napkin.
FULL SIZE.
BETH, are you reading this?
FULL SIZE NAPKIN!!

I think I've died and gone to burger heaven.
They even have the cool Coca-Cola glasses.
And she brought out 2 straws.
I felt like I stepped into the 50's for a moment.
(Not that I would know what the 50's really feels like.)

Hubby and I ordered the Brooklyn Works burger. He ordered the 7 oz, I ordered the 5 oz. Both of us ordered with their 'special sauce' on the side. We also ordered 1/2 an order of fries, diet coke (they didn't have diet DP - that would be asking WAY too much), and a Nutella with Burnt Marshmallow Shake.

Burnt Marshmallows

This shake was perfect. Vanilla ice cream with Nutella mixed in and burnt marshmallows on top. Not too sweet and not to much chocolate and the straws in Korea, they always give you BIG FAT straws when you order something thick.

Hello Beautiful. I'm going to duplicate you at home and my kids are going to be so excited to meet you. :o)

The 5 oz Brooklyn Works Burger.
If you live in the states you may think this just looks like another burger.
If you live in Korea, you know it is not.

And the fries....
So hot
so crispy
so perfect.

And I can't forget to mention their special sauce for the burger. I don't really care for sauce on my burgers, but their sauce was so good for dipping French fries in! It was a mayo - horseradishie - goodness.

These weren't ours, but I snapped a picture of them before they went to their table.
My kids would LOVE these.

In summary, if you are living in Korea and you are craving a good burger then RUN, don't walk to the Brooklyn Burger. (OK, take a cab or drive there - I saw a subway but I can't tell you how to get there from it and it looked like quite the trek.) You are sure to leave with a happy tummy.

As with all things in Korea it is a little more pricy to eat here than stateside - burgers ran between 9,000 & 13,000 won. The total price for both of us was 32,500 won. But TOTALLY worth it. I have a feeling we will be back very soon.

Driving directions from the commissary gate:
Turn right out of the gate.
Go across the Banpo Bridge.
Keep straight on the Banpo road - when the road splits (up/down) near the Express Bus terminal, stay UP - left hand lanes.
Right before you get to the big library on your right, and I mean RIGHT BEFORE you will see this sign:

Turn RIGHT, right now!! It doesn't look like you should turn right, but just do it anyway!!
You will be on the left side of the library.
Go to the end of this very narrow alley and turn LEFT.
Follow this road downhill - very narrow.
Keep your eyes open as you go around a very small curve Brooklyn is on your left.
If you blink you will miss it.
If you are driving - right after Brooklyn turn right and then an immediate left, a paid parking garage will be on your left.
It only cost us 1,500 won to park here.
To leave - Turn left out of the parking garage, go down this VERY NARROW street a few blocks until you come to a bigger street - you will see Paris Croissant - turn right - when you get to the end - a big intersection with a light turn RIGHT. Get in the left hand lane and turn left when you get to the BIG road with the signs to the Banpo Bridge, then you are home free.

They are open from 11:30Am -21:30
Closed on Mondays
551-32 1F Banpo-Dong Seocho-Gu Seoul
Phone: 02-533-7180

I couldn't leave without taking a picture of this sign:

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?
