I went with a friend to Yangui Jip (literally “the Sheep’s House”), a cheap lamb place in Yeongdeungpo. Maybe it’s because I’ve been feeling run down, but I keep craving hearty, r…
In February I went with friends to Brasilia near Samseong Station. It’s near Samseong Station, and it’s famous for unlimited steak for 25,000 won. (Whoa… what an amazing place…) I didn&…
I haven’t been able to post for a while, so my photos have piled up… I finally have some time, so here they are. Love fortune at Yaegaki Shrine “A marriage proposal will become a good match….

I used the weekend to go leaf-peeping at the Tachikue Gorge, which is close to where I live. Once I got there, though, it didn’t look like autumn-leaf season yet. -_-;; It’s November, is this reall…
On the first morning I looked around Tofuku-ji, and by the time I came out it was lunchtime. While wandering around deciding where to eat, I went into a place that for some reason had a long line out front. I …
