Paper Umbrella Artisan of Jeonju
Paper Umbrella Artisan and Korean National Treasure - Mr. Yoon On Day 2 of my visit in Jeonju, my sister wanted to visit a Korean paper umbrella Artisan. Mr. Yoon is the only living traditional Korean umbrella maker in Korea. This traditional umbrella is called Jiwusan (지우산) in Korean. Honestly, this is the first time I even heard of it. In the days before plastics and vinyl, when tigers ...
Best Jeonju Restaurant for Pork BBQ!
Jeonju Restaurant - Hanokjip Jeonju Day 2! After a somewhat disappointing dinner at Hanok village the day before, we were determined to eat some great local Jeonju food before we drove back up to Seoul. I guess this kinda shows you our family's priority about food. And this reminds me of a question that people used to ask each other in Korea when I was growing up... "Do you live to eat? or ...
Jeonju Hanok Village (Hanok Maeul)
Jeonju Hanok Village DAY 1 Jeonju, Korea is the capital city of North Jeolla Province. Jeolla province has history dating back to pre-historic times but Jeonju came to existence as a city in 900 AD as part of Later Baekjae era. When I think of Jeonju, I think of Jeonju Bibimbap. That is probably the most famous dish that comes from Jeonju. But recently Jeonju boasts a lot more good eats than just ...

Day 1 was Pork. Day 2 is Seafood! As you can imagine, Jeju island is famous for its fresh seafood. If you missed my earlier post, read Flavors of Jeju Island - Day ...
Flavors of Jeju Island – Day 1
Jeju Island is probably my favorite place in all of Korea. It has everything - ocean, tropical weather, volcanic mountains, amazing food, pretty flowers and even horses that are native to the island (brought in hundreds of years ago). Flavors of Jeju Island include many things but I would have to say their ultra fresh seafood, amazing black pork and sweet mandarin oranges are some that ...
Fun Theme Cafes in Seoul
It was a cloudy, raining fall day when I visited the are near Hongik University with my best friend EJ. This beautiful umbrella art display caught my eye as we visited an outdoor shopping mall. Each umbrella danced to a different tune as the wind made it dance in the open air... Now that winter is in full swing in Korea, Koreans are probably spending most of their time indoors. And that ...
Doshirak Lunch at Seoul Tongin Banchan Market
As Seoul transforms into a modern and trendy city, many traditional markets(Shijang 시장) in Seoul are suffering from lack of business. In order to save this dying form of Korean traditional culture, Korean government has even put a policy in place where big modern mega mart like E-Mart or Lotte Mart are required to take 2 Sundays off in a month. Probably something unimaginable in the US but it ...
A fabulous Girl’s Getaway Day 2 (Carmel, CA)
