My Favorite Korean Snacks

I LOVE Korean rice cake! Especially, when its covered in delicious sweet sauce :) Dduk kochi (딱꼬치) is sweet rice cake on skewers. I usually pick this up at Emart(Korean Walmart)





Papico is a popular chocolate popsicle. I saw many Korean children with this in hand during the hot summer months. I try to keep atleast two in my freezer for a quick dessert.






Patbingsu (팥빙수) is shaved ice with redbean. Its a healthy alternative to icecream, and tastes great.






Fish shapped Korean iceream cake filled with redbean. These are the frozen versions of Bungoeppang (붕어빵), fish shaped waffles that are sold by street vendors.

Hongdae, Seoul



















Hongdae is where the Hongik University is located in Seoul. It's a popular area for young artists and college students. Filled with plenty bars, clubs, and interesting people, this place keeps you entertained till the trains start running again at 5:30am the next morning!











I've been adopted!...:D


Jungsam, a student from one of my adult classes, invited me on a couple outings with his family. He was nice enough to take me to the military base where he works, museums, and amusement parks. His wife even invited me and my friend, Glenn, to dinner. The food was delicious! Thanks Kim family!
