Hello Again! School is getting busier this time of year as Report Cards are due this week and there are only 6 weeks left until our Christmas break. We are excited! The past couple weekends have been full of fun! I'm feeling better and we've been able to get out and explore Korea more! Last weekend our boss's son took the entire staff out for traditional Galbi (Korean BBQ) I think to smooth over a few of the bumps the staff have been encountering. The galbi was amazing but the night was far from over. As we're walking out the restaurant, there's a few quirky things in the foyer. One is a free coffee machine where you press a button, a cup comes out of the machine and a nice latte is poured for you. How ... read more

Hello again! We had today (Friday) and we have Monday off to make one amazing 4-day long weekend!!! It is wonderful to be celebrating Korean holidays, Canadian holidays and pro-D days. We have no big plans as school is getting a bit busier and it's nice to get ahead on the planning a bit. We are planning on heading out tomorrow though and possibly visiting a place called Yongsan - it's basically an electronic- lovers heaven with over 2000 stores within 10 city blocks of electronics... Those of you who know Mike are probably wondering why they heck I would ever let him even know about a place like that, let alone let him go there... all I can say is I have no control. And we may not have enough money to come home.... So ... read more

The trip to Jeju was so packed with entertaining events we had to break up the last couple posts. It was that good!! Amy left off by describing the encounter we had with the bidet. From that we ventured out form the hotel. The first day was somewhat disappointing in the sense that it rained for most the day so our sight-seeing was limited. We spent the day walking around watching caged seals flop about and smelling the "fresh" bottom feeders the local were selling. It wasnt till the next day that things picked up. The next day, although still raining, we decided to try a Korean submarine ride. This would not have passed ANY safety regulations in any other country but for some reason the Koreans decided to get together and build a steel barrel ... read more

Yah thats right, Jeju Island. Chusak holiday is coming up and since we have a week off we decided to introduce ourselves to the beautiful southern tip of South Korea. We are excited, our first break in what seems like years. Apparently there is a submarine ride for 20 bux, and natural spring waterfalls and other cool things to see. We cant wait to send everyone some pictures. The week was good, nothing much happened other then we tried Korean BBQ (Best Ever!!!). We have been hesitant trying authentic Korean because it hasnt done very good for our bowels before, but we decided that Friday night would be the night and it was well worth it. Its exactly like Canadian raquellete if you've had that before. This is a short post mostly cause we just wanted ... read more

Honestly, if you found something good, I mean really really good, would you want to share it with others at your own expense? I've debated on whether to write this article. Until now, I have felt as though my favorite restaurant in the world is busy enough without me recommending it to others. I mean, this place is packed with locals during dinner eating hours just about every day of the week. There has been no need for me to augment this rush thus causing my waits to eat there to be longer and more frequent. Think about it for a second. What if it's so good that you don't want others coming and ruining it for you? Well the time has come for me to share it with the world. The first reason is that ... read more
