Everybody, meet Mario! A charming and funny guy, he's one of Saucer's counterpart in Australia, who cooks fabulously! I mean, really! During our stay in Australia, Mario and his wife kindly invited us over one night for a BBQ dinner at their home. When we reached, Mario was busy cooking his Boerewor
Read Full StoryHello people! I'm BACK! After 2 amazing and fun weeks in Victoria, I'm finally home sweet home.

Anyway, let's continue with my

In fact, I tend to window-shop more in the bags section in the malls compared to any other sections. And I have more bags than my closet could fit, [...]

On Thursday, I again took to the streets alone. This time, my pick was Itaewon, being one of the districts popular with tourists and military, apparently. And I did see a number of US people walking along the streets that afternoon. Most of the stores here are selling above average goods or branded [...]

The next day was a Wednesday, when Saucer had to work. Hence it was another solo adventure for me in the day time. In this adventure, I chose to go to Insadong, which is yet another street market but it focuses more on antiques, artworks and souvenirs. Armed with the subway map, I took the train and [...]

On Tuesday, which was the second working night for Saucer, they managed to reach up by 7pm. Since it was relatively early, we set foot to a nearby market called Namdaemun, which was about 15 minutes of walk away. Saucer's colleague, Sri, also joined us for the fun!

*WARNING: Do not read with an empty stomach* When Bok invited us all to dinner one day at Castell, I couldn't help but ask, where is it? Situated in the heart of PJ in Section 16, this restaurant has actually been around for decades! *shame on me* Recently, it has been given a new look and a revamp [...]

On the first day that Saucer was out for work, I spent some time in the apartment to search for where I could go on my own. First on the list was Myeongdong, simply because it's easily accessible by subway, and it's a street market! Who doesn't like shopping? :P So, I was all set to venture out solo [...]
