At a Glance : Seoul, Korea

Happy Holidays!!

n seoul tower 12
I know it has been months since my trip to Korea and yet I always get to remember it every time someone comes up to me asking for Seoul travel tips. That was definitely one of the best trips I've had this year and Paul and I are will hopeful that we can go back to Korea SOON!

I realized also that I failed to create a summary to better guide you in going through all my Korea travel entries.

First and foremost, here's a guide on how to apply for a Korean Visa for all Philippine Passport holders.

Next step is to look for a place to stay. I highly recommend our hotel: Hotel Skypark 1 in Myeongdong, Korea.

Here's also a quick 101 for all Korea newbies.

Be tourist-y and visit these places:
Myeongdong for all out shopping (all the beauty brands are here!) and eating
Gyeongbokgung Palace
COEX Mall and Aquarium (although I don't recommend the aquarium)
Everland Theme Park
N Seoul Tower 

Remember this: must watch the Cookin Nanta Show!

Of course, the most important question is -- where to eat? Here are some recommendations

Yoogane for the yummiest Chicken Galbi
Gimgane for some kimbap
Quick bites at Lotteria
Two Two Fried Chicken

Enjoy KOREA! ♥

Vito's BBQ : Best Chicken BBQ in Town

Image
This was indeed a big big surprise. It started when I was chatting with my cousin and he casually mentioned Vito's BBQ  as we were talking about Chicken Rice dishes. I didn't thought much about it until I went online and saw a couple of friends from my high school posting about the same thing. "Hmm.. what is this  Vito's BBQ ?", I thought to myself. I was definitely so curious now and I quickly went to their Instagram page to check them out. Oh my! I'll warn you now. Do NOT go to their page at the middle of the night or you'll surely end up hungry and craving for Chicken BBQ. Trust me, I learned this the hard, hungry way.  Apparently, Vito's BBQ is named after the owners' 4 year old and he's so adorable! They started in Libis and recently, they opened their pick-up station in... *drumroll* Ronac Art Center along Ortigas Avenue and is even closer to home! Yahoooo!  Anyway, we celebrated Grandparent's Day last last week and I decided that

EATaewon Seoul Food Experience

 Annyeong! It's been a while since my last blog post and boy this year is zooming by oh so fast!  So, how has everyone been?  As for me, I've been extra busy with work as I recently took on a new role that's equally exciting and challenging but really, I love theAsiaparent and I love my team and I am so excited to grow with everyone this year. On the domestic side, Yaya M has left us (again and for good this time) and we wish her luck in finding her one true love.  Meanwhile, my twins have started pre-school this year so Paul and I have also took on our new roles as Teacher Mommy and Teacher Daddy. I'm still sad that my twins will most likely not experience nursery life such as meeting new friends, being part of school programs, gaining independence and more. Pre-school life was so much fun for me and it breaks my heart knowing that by the time the pandemic is over, they might have to enter big school already. *sigh*  I'm glad that we enrolled them in Kindermusik ea

My thoughts on 2021 : New Year Musings

Image
 "Nothing can dim the light that shines from within." - Maya Angelou 2021's entrance was probably one of the most quiet that I've ever encountered in my 39 years of existence. With the absence of massive fireworks and social distancing protocols are still being observed, we gladly bid 2020 adieu and hope that this year will be much better. If you asked me what I was doing as we counted down to the end of 2020, I'd tell you that I was quietly in my study area, working on my laptop. With my twins and my parents sleeping soundly and Paul sitting right beside me, it may not sound very happening but to be, I got everyone who mattered around me and that's just what I needed. Of course, we had a nice family dinner with my sister and her family on video call. I guess this is really the digital age where technology makes being apart physically makes it feel less painful and lonely.  So what do I hope for this new year. I just hope for the pandemic to end. For famili
