Come to Korea with me -1

The 11 hour flight to Korea was dreadful, I even thought to myself that I will never come back.  Holy moly, I don't know how people do it because I was just dying inside in my tiny chair for 11 hours, unable to sleep.  So when I arrived at 8pm I was exhausted and wanted to just sleep right away without unpacking but I needed to unpack in order to get my things out of the suitcase and afterwards I couldn't fall asleep because it was morning in Vancouver.  Aiyahyah....I've been in Korea for 3 days and I've finally overcame my jet lag. 

I haven't been to Korea for 4 years and a lot has changed since then for example  I was suppose to meet my friends at Shinsa station on the 2nd day of my stay but I had no clue where that was... I had to look at the subway map and managed to embarrassed my friends slightly by acting like a tourist (they usually look it up on their phones).  I don't think I am 'acting' like one.. I am one..   Everything in Korea feels new and slightly awkward to me because I've lived in Canada for a long time.

Gyu- Kaku

These photos are actually from long time ago but I wanted to post it because of my crazy meat cravings at the moment at 1:35 AM.  (torture!!)

My friends and I went to Gyu-kaku in December before exams started.  I was excited that it was DYI grill restaurant just like the ones in Korea except with Japanese twist.  There were Korean food available at the restaurant but they weren't very good in my opinion.  Gyu-kaku is a franchise with locations in California, New York, Hawaii, Illinois, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia and Vancouver.

Tofu with Kimchi

The kimchi looked like kimchi but didn't taste like one and it was too salty.  The tofu was soft and yummy though.


Gook bap (literally means soup+ rice in Korean)
