[Seoul] Gopchang, Makchang, whatever chang!

Posted on by Jamie Liew

one thing I love about living in Sinchon is the crowd. on Fridays and Saturdays the street filled with HOF’s and eateries will be filled. but one of the most popular things to do here are eating food THAT GOES WELL WITH ALCOHOL!

welcome to Sinchon =D. it doesn’t look very classy but after all it’s a place for students. we decided to settle in a shop famous online, called 황소곱창 (hwang so gop chang) or something. there’s 2 gopchang shops side to side but I went to the one fully sealed up (the other one have open air tables, and is said to be more delicious.)

[Seoul: Hongdae] Luxury Su

Posted on by Jamie Liew

was never too much of a fan of Karaoke’s. until I met Noraebang. Noraebang means “song room” in direct translation. you got it right, Norae means song and Bang means room! there are a lot of “rooms” here. like PCbang, Multibang (where you play nintendo wii to watching your favourite movies. heard they sanitize the “seats” there because underage kids go to a multibang as they can’t get a “room”. hahah. so if a guy wants to bring you to a multibang ONE ON ONE, think twice.), Jjimjilbang… and any other bangs these Koreans can think of.

Posted on by Jamie Liew

aA The Design Museum @ Hongdae. I can’t really recommend you where to go because MOST of the Cafe’s in Hongdae are pretty and are priced at the same range and have yummy drinks all in all. but it’s right at the end of the Hongdae Road near that SangSangMadang area crossing the famous Ddeokbokki shop and turn left then right.

this place is HUGE. like HUGE. very spacious. there are 2 types of cafes. one are the huge ones like this one. another type are the small cozy little ones which I can assure you that they’re real good places to hang out at as well.

Nami Island during Summer!

Posted on by Jamie Liew

so like how I’ve blogged about previously, just take the Subway to Gangbyeon and walk across to Dong-Seoul Bus Terminal and ask for a ticket to Gapyeong. Ga-Pyeong.

the bus heads to Chuncheon so make sure you know where to get off. if I am not wrong you get out on the 2nd stop. it takes around an hour and a half. Continue reading “Nami Island during Summer!” →

[Seoul] Hangang and Seonyudo Park

Posted on by Jamie Liew

I was dreadddddding to go to Hanging for the longest time. so finally I went. Hangang is very very very long so this part is one of the most famous spots to go to; Seonyudo. it’s like a really tiny island near Nami Island with a beautiful park in it. I mean, the whole island is a park.

you can basically finish the whole hour in within an hour if you keep walking and walking. or less. not sure haha. but it ain’t big I can assure you. Continue reading “[Seoul] Hangang and Seonyudo Park” →

[Seoul: Sinchon] Just bars in Sinchon

Posted on by Jamie Liew

if you know me well then you should know that I am not so much of an alcoholic. but after coming to Korea I kind of got used to their Soju and Beer culture where you HAVE TO DRINK. and at the top of all Korean Alcohol, I love Makgeolli. and we drink it with Cider (very similar to 7 Up, can’t really tell the difference anyway). but there are times where you don’t want to go for the usual Makgeolli, Soju or Beer, but some good old drinks you often drink back at your own country.

there are plenty of bars, and mostly very unique and cute. and this one we went to is near the Ikan Bakar in Sinchon on the 2nd floor. you would notice the sweet red window. Continue reading “[Seoul: Sinchon] Just bars in Sinchon” →
