Hwarogui, a Butcher’s Restaurant in Incheon
This looks like it will be my last Korea post for a while. But I’ve only just finished January… I still have to post just as much for February, March and April, so I’m losing my motivation. O…

The Oki Islands are the part of Japan closest to Korea. I think I heard they’re closer to Dokdo than Ulleungdo is.. something like that. I went there once for fun a while back, but it’s such a quie…
After lunch at Hanilgwan, I went to Guillaume, a French bakery that’s apparently the hot new thing in this neighborhood. The place is famous for bread said to be almost exactly what you’d get in Fr…

Earlier this year I got the chance to visit Trattoria Molto, a small Italian restaurant in Apgujeong. It’s had a reputation for being really good for ages and I’d always wanted to go at least once,…
I think this is my first post in almost three months since the one in early January. I really haven’t been active for a long time. If anyone was waiting for my blog to come back – probably no one, …
