I’m back in Seoul after a few days in Busan, where I met up with my university friend Mika. She took a ferry from Japan and arrived on the same day. It’s been so much fun exploring the city together. We went to a hidden cold noodle shop that I read about on wingspoon (Korea’s yelp), walked through dark alleyways to find this late-night eatery inside a real cave, and found dinosaur footprints strolling through Igidae’s scenic walkway along Busan’s coastline.
In the meanwhile, we chatted about the idiosyncrasies of living abroad and our upcoming return to the U.S. Did I tell you I booked my flight home? I’ll be east-coast bound in time for Christmas.

August 15, 2011 at 1:20 pmOK, when I saw those statues I have to admit my brain went into a very dark corner and had a giggle.
The sea looks so nice in these pictures; your pictures make me want to run away in the world. I feel like I haven’t seen enough each time I come to your blog.

August 18, 2011 at 3:34 amIt’s usually called “neng myun” (literally “cold noodles”) and this particular one from Busan is called “mil myun”
