Two Broz. in Itaewon – A Quick and Satisfying Bite
Itaewon aka America Town has all the fast food options associated with the good ole USA. The colonel, the clown and the chihuahua are all there ready to serve you with the dirty pleasures from home. That said, up the hill is a small burger joint called “Two Broz.”, who make their burgers fresh to […]
Yongsan Electronic Market AKA The Hunt for Grand Theft Auto 5
Hey ladies, have notice the men in your life have suddenly disappeared? It is still much too early for hibernation, and football season is only on the weekends, so why have men suddenly disappeared from public view. Video games… for the love of God.. video games is the answer. On September 17th, Rockstar finally released […]
Gimmie Some Sugar – Honey Bowl in Hongdae
The American brunch is a part of Americana that can rarely be duplicated overseas. It’s not quite breakfast, it’s not quite lunch, but you get a piece of cantaloupe at the end. It’s a good meal! Ahh Jacques. Simpsons fans please line up. Inspired by the loveliest and most social blogger on the Internet, Lacrymamosa, […]
The Koreana – In the Heart of Seoul, with the Price to Match.
Oftentimes it seems as though we get stuck in a routine, and forget that we live in a dynamic city. It seems as though we become assimilated to Korea, and forget that we are, in fact, tourists here in this great city. My wife and I decided to become tourists again in our own city, […]
KrissKo Taco – Bringing Mexican Goodness to Hongdae
Hello gentle reader. It wasn’t an easy decision finding a place to eat in Hongdae. When you mention Hongdae to a typical expat or Korean for that matter, the common denominator seems to be that Hongdae is the place in Seoul for exciting nightlife. What goes under the radar is that Hongdae is quietly becoming […]

However, after looking at the line, becoming depressed, we decided to head up to Buamdong to eat cupcakes instead. Inspired by follow Seoulite blogger Han K NGO […]

Happy Chuseok gentle reader. I hope you are getting some much needed rest. No rest for me and the misses. Today we hammered out a part of Gyungbokgung and decided to check the Lonely Planet for a nice place to eat in Gyungbokgung. Tosokchon stuck out to us because we really love ginseng chicken soup, […]
The Hanz Burger – One of Haebangchon’s Three Wise Men
Happy Chuseok week! I hope everyone is enjoying their Chuseok, getting some rest and enjoying some great food! Today we decided to head down to one of our favorite parts of Seoul called Haebangchon, which is a sub neighborhood of Itaewon. This part of town has really flourished in the last couple of years to […]
Seoul’s Historic Walks – Part 1 – Seoul Station to Gwanghwamun (Seoul Anglican Cathedral, Statues of King Sejong and Admiral Yi Sun Shin, Gwanghwamun, and Dongsipjagak)
This might be the longest title ever. Here is the second part of part one. Damn, that could be complicated. The last post, the walk took about an hour to an hour and a half, including breaks and a lunch. However, after that, I hammered out the walk and decided to get to Gwanghwamun, not […]
