Itaewon – Unexpected Treasures

Have explored almost all of Seoul over the last few days, Itaewon is the most exotic place in the cosmopolitan city to me. Majority of expats or immigrants find solace in its accommodating nature.

Jongmyo Shrine – Final Rest of Joseon Royalties

The guide at the palace has definitely set the bar for Korean guides. I have high expectations for the guide at the final resting place of the glorious Joseon Empire Kings and Queens.

I am so freaking hungry from my morning hike up Nam-san that my first priority at Namdaemun Market was to find a good restaurant, rest my feet and replenish my energy. I chanced upon a small eatery that was crowded with people! Based on typical Singaporean mentality, so many people – the food must be good. So […]

Samcheong-dong: An Unwilling Artsy Detour

Both Changdeokgung Palace and Jongmyo Shrine were amazing but that was the max that I would dedicate to history for the day.I was heading to Samcheong-dong, an art belt in Seoul for its famous art galleries accompanied by my new found Philippines friend (whom I have unfortunately forgotten his name). I actually preferred to do my sightseeing alone […]
