Must have apps in Korea

30/3/2014

Anytime you travel there is that paranoia about roaming charges. Lucky in Korea there is a lot of open WiFi around Seoul. But before you get to Korea there are some apps you should download . These apps will help you get around the city and communicate with those who do not speak English.

KakaoTalk- Kakaotalk is a free instant messenger app. Everyone in Korea uses this to text their friends for free and to make free phone calls! This is a great app to have so you have a way to talk to your family and friends. You can use this app with WiFi, but you need to have a valid phone number to register.

So today I went to the Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon, a city beside Hwaseong. Let me tell you, wear running shoes and track pants! I walked around the whole Fortress which was 3.5 miles, plus more because we walked around to other places after that. This Fortress is HUGE so plan to spend 2-3 hours just walking around and taking pictures! I took lots of pictures that I will upload to my gallery. To learn more about Hwaseong Fortress CLICK HERE

Eating out

7/3/2014

On Thursdays I finish teaching at 7pm. After class I was starving, so I decided to find something to eat on my way home. I mostly pass by cafes and fried chicken joints; but I felt like having some Korean food today. I always see this one place in my area, but I have no idea what it's called, so I attempted to find it. I'm walking down the street but none of the restaurants look familiar so I was thinking i'll just make something at home.

Then as i'm getting closer to my place I see this restaurant called CBC. So I decided to go in. I look at the menu and mostly everything is in Korean of course but I see a picture of food that I actually recognized so I decided to order it. It was "Bibimbap". Bibimbap is a bowl of rice with carrots, bean sprouts, mushrooms, cucumber, seaweed and courgette with either a raw egg or cooked egg on top, it is usually served in a blistering hot pot. It is served with soup, spicy kimchi (vegetable), and some other dishes not sure what they are for only $6.

I was definitely in love. This dish is amazing. Everyone needs to try this at least once!
