The Bakers Table by Mira

First off, let me start by saying yes. It has been ages since I’ve last posted, but you can’t blame a girl for living life rather than writing about it. Since last autumn, life has brought many unexpected changes. In fact, it looks as though this might be my last year (for real). I’ve been [...]

El Olive in Busan

Is there a tasty, upscale, attentative, foreigner friendly Mediterranean/Italian restaurant in Busan? Yes. It’s El Olive. Foremost, it’s absolutely crucial that in order to be authentic they must have an assortment of red and white wine to perfectly pair with each course. Check. Second, true Italian bistros will serve warm, home-made bread. And if they’re really [...]

Bubble Tree – Where wine is at its finest (버블트리)

Itaewon is changing fast. A little too fast in my opinion and not necessarily for the better. It’s as if the Koreans are trying to strip down the nitty gritty ambiance which gave this area it’s authentic, down-to-earth character and transform it into another luxe, backboneless, overpriced shopping area. Myeongdong, Chungdam, Garuso-gil, Gangnam…I mean, don’t we [...]

Cafe Coin in Myeongdong

At Cafe Coin, a waffle ice-cream isn’t just a waffle ice-cream. It’s an explosion of fresh fruit, flavors and textures piled high atop a crispy, light base that surprisingly doesn’t go soggy till the very last morsel. Thus after you’ve managed to take focus away from stuffing your face full of layers upon layers of [...]

Vivid Impressions

If you’re going to do something, do it BIG. That was the impression I was left with at The 3rd Annual Ink Bomb International Tattoo Convention at Platoon Kunsthalle. Why?

Coffee at Caffeine, a hop, skip and truck-stop away

After first hearing about a peculiar coffee shop from a fellow racer’s girlfriend (a cute couple I might add), I imagined sipping its sweet, aromatic coffee as a soft breeze wafted my hair and body into heavenly contentment.

Shake Your Hips to Rhyme & Rhythm

Last weekend was a double whammy; with foreigners gettin’ their drink-on earlier than normal in celebration of Saint Patrick’s Day at Seoul’s annual parade near Insadong. Then for most, it was off to the usual night hot spot, Itaewon to continue the debauchery. Having went and been exposed to two previous years of chaos – a sea of green, [...]

V-Day at Platoon Flea Market

Vagina Monologues attends their first night flea market with Platoon! The venue, a choppy army-esk bomb shed of a compound was last night’s home to Seoul’s very own V-Day volunteers. Number 20, an approximately 3 by 6 square foot space on the 3rd floor near the corner entrance became our humble abode for the next [...]
