When I was younger, the only encounter I had the of museums and art galleries were through the glossy of encyclopedias I used to devour.

November 1, 2017 Joy and I are capping our nearly two-week excursion in a city that I have long wanted to visit – Jeonju, the capital of North Jeolla province. To be honest, I have never heard of the city until I started watching The Return of Superman. Jeonju is a usual haunt of Lee […]

South Korea Day 8: The Warmth of Gyeongju
October 29, 2017 Bulguksa has revived our spiritual stamina but the healthy Korean buffet we fad after revived our physical stamina. Moreover, it was our cheapest meal in South Korea and it was all worth it. It was just unfortunate that we couldn’t make it to Seokguram Grotto. Although it was technically part of the […]
