The U.S. has plenty to offer those in search of new taste delights, given the size and diversity of the populace, but the opportunity to travel to distant lands and encounter completely new dishes is heavenly.

Things that I learn!
Indeed...didn't know 'SPAM' could be a food. Yes, I am not a foodie (as you know from social media about my experience elsewhere), but I know that you and David are. I read your blog with curiosity that how many different items you tasted while you two were there in Seoul!! Hats off! I couldn't do that even 10% of that and would have survived with Burgers only during my entire stay, I suppose. Shame on me! Oh, well.... And yes, please enjoy your trip. I continue to follow your footsteps (except the food....and imagine a smiley emoji).

Yes, we were surprised about spam also! Elan made a good dinner and we appreciated it. Ah... you can have a burger when you get back home. Eager to hear where you go next.

Wow! That is all I can say.
Well, you know that is a lie. What a great adventure. The food sounds amazing, and as odd as it may sound the pancake is what really stood out. I have eaten before, but your photo put what I ate to shame.

LOL... I'm sure you have plenty to say. The pancakes were very well done. You would have loved the chef at the six course meal. Taste treats all the way through Korea.

Clean and well fed- what more can you ask for?
Food looked fabulous- any tips for making the spicy tofu? How’s your skin feeling after the spa?

It was a delight. My tip for making the spicy tofu is come to Korea to buy your tofu. LOL. We'd never been so clean!!

Korean Jazz
Glad you embraced the music culture in South Korea. Jazz may not be our thing but when we were with Cockle and Travel Camel in Vietnam, Jazz in HCMC was the greatest gig!!! I'll post this in "Musicians of the World" thread in the Photography Forum.

Korean Jazz
MJ here. One of the things we liked about the Korean Jazz was it was the talented youth who were performing. They are encouraging the young people In many things and they were very talented. The performance was very good.

Korean Jazz
Dangerous One here....we did enjoy the jazz. It leaned towards progressive jazz, with no woodwinds or horns, but the musicians were very accomplished, although young. Thanks for re-posting!

Living the Life
Wow, you were definitely living the life in Seoul. My taste buds were tingling while reading this, and music and spas are good for the soul. I imagine you were seriously squeaky clean after that spa trip! How wonderful to have local contacts and such local insight during your time in Seoul. I doubt many westerners will have been to the places you went to. So glad to see your trip has gotten off to such a good start 😁

I'm glad your taste buds were tingling. It was good food. I've grown very fond of the flavorful Korean foods and presentation. Having a friend as a guide was awesome. I"m sure our impressions of Seoul have exceeded what they would have been if we were alone. I do like Seoul a lot.

I do agree you will enjoy this part of the world. The people are so kind and respectful. It is so clean and the public transportation is nice a quiet. The foods are dancing off your tongue. It is much cheaper to travel here than I was expecting.
