Early Saturday morning, my aunts, my paternal grandmother, and my mom packed up and left on a long journey to visit my grandfather's grave to pay respects in time for the Chinese new year.
It ended up being a very food-oriented trip, where each destination was an improvement upon the previous destination.
 |
| Apparently a restaurant that my aunts and my dad used to frequent |
 |
| It was slightly disappointing to be honest. |
 |
| Then we went to the Jin-Joo Market |
And he has a oxen farm!
Then, we stopped by TongYoung, where General Lee won battles with his tutrle-ship ... and they have this area called 'Dong-Pi-Rang' that has lovely murals:
 |
| This one says 'Where? Dong-Pi-Rang!' |
 |
| Not sure what this is supposed to be.... |
 |
| This guy came with 5 other guys... Dong Pi Rang seemed more like a place for couples... so i thought it was a bit weird that 6 guys came together...but they seemed to be enjoying themselves, so *shrug* |
 |
| Babies~ |
 |
| More babies~ |
 |
| This is a special 'Kim Bob' called 'Chungmuro' Kimbob, where the sole ingredients are Rice with seaweed, eaten with kimchi. It was delicious! |
Then, we spent the night at a cabin in the woods, but I don't have pictures from there because we passed out soon after we got in.
The next day, we woke up early and drove around sight-seeing around the Guh-Jae Island:
Then, we drove to Busan and walked around the market there:
Since this is an important year for both of us, we will be spending more time on our work and less time on sight-seeing, but we hope to keep our saturday tradition alive of doing something nice together -- be it seeing the ballet, going to a new place in Seoul or outside Seoul, or traveling together.
Either way, I am looking forward to having him back. Skype is great, but it sure can't beat the real thing.
-liv, love, laugh
Yay for having 0 back! :) :)
ReplyDeleteAll the photos of food makes me soo hungry!! I LOVE KIMCHI! <3 I always have a jar of kimchi in my fridge. hehe I would love to go to korea someday to eat some real kimchi...*sigh*
and the "Dong-pi-ri" area looks so fun!! Are they by famous artists, or is it more like graffiti? Either way the photo of you with wings is so pretty! and I would laugh too if 6 guys were touring the area. haha But I guess it's nice that they have interest in art? :)

I truly love the photos of Korea - I miss it a lot but when I see all the shots of streets and restaurants and food - it is a great vicarious way of being there! Although everytime I see the food shots - I get soooooo envious - that kimchi looked crazy good with that simple kimbab...
ReplyDeletekorea is such a lovely place
ReplyDeletei would love to visit that in the future
anyways murals were awesome especially that wings on you background
and the foods were cool as well
