As you can see in the featured image, I tried a few bibimbaps in South Korea, including the cold variety as well as the dolsot (hot pot) variety. Would have to say that the dolsot version is much nicer as you can’t beat the taste of the crispy rice and also the warmth you have …
Our final day in South Korea was spent preparing for our flight out to Nepal, and visiting one last spot in Seoul. We decided to stop by the War Memorial which is easy to get to using the metro system. We spent a bit of time there but unfortunately still being a bit sick and …
Unfortunately due to illness we weren’t able to see too much of Busan, but we were able to drop by the Jalgachi Fish Market before heading off on our long journey back to Seoul. Here are a few quick snaps from our time wandering around the fish markets – there were a lot more shellfish …

What can I say. We haven’t really snacked or eaten much dessert foods while we have been in South Korea; however, we have tried a few meals which aren’t Korean. As you can see from the featured image, we actually tried some Japanese food while we were in South Korea. This was a bit by …
