Baby Cafe (Hong Kong)- Opened By HK's Famous Model, Angelababy

Trixie and I walked around Tsim Sha Tsui on our first day of hanging out together in HK. After a long day of sightseeing and shopping, we were both tired and began our search for a place to eat for dinner. Eventually, we wandered into a mall called ‘iSQUARE’ initially to find some wifi and google up some restaurant spots nearby. However, while we were walking inside, we saw an ad for this restaurant called ‘baby cafe’. We both knew...

Meat-ing (Seoul, Korea)- 'Meating' Friends in Seoul Over All-You-Can-Eat BBQ

On my last day in Korea, my friend from Vancouver brought me and a bunch of his friends to this AYCE (all-you-can-eat) BBQ place in Seoul. He said he had a very enjoyable visit the last time he came and the price is also very affordable. This place is called... Meat-ing. I can only guess that their intention of naming this place “Meat-ing” is to encourage you to ‘meet’ friends while eating ‘meat’. LOL  Hahaha. Oh Asians. :D For a fixed...

Dragon Hill Spa (Seoul, Korea)- The Jimjilbang (Korean Spa) Experience, Smoked Eggs, and Sikhye

One of my favourite things to do in Korea is go to a Jimjilbang (Korean Spa). Unlike traditional spas in America, the Jimjilbang culture is very different and unlike anything I have ever experienced. You first pay a very small entrance fee, then you are free to use their entire facility for as long as you want (up to 24 hours I think) which includes taking a dip in the pool, soaking in a sauna, playing in the arcade room, eating and snacking, relaxing...

'Seoul' Food On The Streets (Seoul, Korea)- Blood Sausage and Other Street Meat

One of my favourite things about Korea is their street food. We don’t really have street food in Vancouver (we only have food trucks... and they’re not cheap) so I was determined to try as much street food as I could during my month and a half here. Unfortunately, I didn’t take pictures of all the street food I ate in Korea but I did manage to capture some. :P All of the street food I ate was in Dongdaemun as they have a lot of street carts...

Bina (Seoul, Korea)- Enjoying our 'Last KU Supper' at an Indian Restaurant in Seoul

I hate saying goodbye. I always want to cry when I have to separate from people whom I love and cherish dearly, but I know that’s a part of life. My Korea University International Summer Exchange Program had just come to an end and I have a lot of mixed feelings. I feel completely and utterly blessed for having met the people I did in the program and it was by a crazy coincidence that we all came together and became friends. I never expected...

Hanwoori (Seoul, Korea)- Mediocre Shabu Shabu Experience

At the Express Bus Terminal Station, you can find an AMAZING underground shopping area for girls (sorry boys :P), a movie theatre, a few fast food restaurants such as Krispy Kreme and McDonalds, and Shinsegae, a high end department store. The restaurant level is located on the 10th floor. My friends and I were originally going to shop at the underground shopping area, but we decided to grab dinner first. But then by the time we finished dinner,...

Paris Baguette (Seoul, Korea)- Starbucks of Korea, One At Every Corner

In Seoul, you will not be able to find Starbucks at every corner. Instead, you will find Paris Baguette which is a French inspired bakery/cafe that serves bread, dessert, bingsu (shaved ice), pastries, sandwiches, and salads. Because my friends and I live within such close proximity to Paris Baguette, we come here quite often to get our bread fix. Peter, a friend of mine actually goes there every day because he is not accustomed to eating...
