1 Year Anniversary of Six in Seoul

Can you believe it has been over a year since we have been in Seoul?  This happened while we were on vacation in Thailand...I wanted to do this blog on our anniversary date, but if you know me, you know I can't do things out of order.  There was no way I could do a 1 year anniversary blog in between Thailand stories.  It would have totally wigged me out & most likely I would have had to edit & my life would have been out of whack for days.  So to save my sanity, I am writing it now, 1 year, 18 days later. 

Where do I start?  We LOVE living in Korea.  We have had so many wonderful opportunities. As I rummaged through our website I have discovered we have done so much, yet also so little.  We have barely scraped the tip of iceberg...there is so much more to do here.  So, I am going to list my top 5 things we have done here in Seoul. 

1. The flower market at the express bus terminal is my favorite place here in Seoul.  It is my happy place, anytime I go; I can't help but to smile.  I also love taking new people there and watching their expression.  I have discovered there are 2 types of people when it comes to the flower market..........1 - the ones that are overwhelmed by the size, smell, beauty, crowd and cheap prices, so much so that they cannot buy anything at all, they just take it in and go back later for purchases.   The second type are  the people that embrace it immediately,  and with their mouth dropped open in awe, they purchase everything they can get their hands on.


2. The Seoul City Bus Tour is fantastic!  It is great for both young and old, new to the area, or even for the seasoned xpat, and the price is right, only 10,000 won and you can ride all day, & get off and on as many times as  you would like. The Seoul City Bus Tour is a great way to learn the city!


3. Noryangjin Fish Market - I know some of you cannot stand the thought or smell of fish...but to me, I am like a kid in a candy store when I go to the fish market.

4. Yeoju City, aka - Pottery Town! -  Yeoju was my first 'real' outing in Korea, and it has proven to be a favorite of guest and xpats alike.

5. Mackerel Lady Restaurant - I don't know the real name of this restaurant, in fact, I don't know if it even has a name.  This place is the bomb - cheap and good!!



There is so much more I love about living here in Seoul, like Saturday nights out with Hubby, (I love our date nights) but I wanted to keep the list short.  If you come to visit, these are just a few of the things we will do with you.

I want to thank you all for reading my blog this past year!  I hope you have had as much fun reading it as I have had writing it.  On March 28th, I had my highest number of hits on my page in one day.....268!!!  Normally I average 100-120 hits a day, and right now for the past month I have hits from 14 different countries.....if you are reading, I would LOVE to hear from you.  PLEASE drop a line just to say hi!  I love comments!
