I love checking out local supermarkets whenever I travel to other countries. Why? Because, I believe, a supermarket is the best place to meet locals and learn their lifestyle.

Christmas in Seoul City
It’s Christmas season. Unlike most Western countries, Christmas in Korea is mainly for young lovers. It is considered to be the most romantic day of the year (yeah it is almost like Valentine’s Day).

I prefer walking along the stream at night rather than strolling around during the day. Tips for Enjoying Cheonggyecheon Picnic Bring food and drink and enjoy a kind […]
