I don’t eat to live, I live to eat.
Photo of the day: Bingsoo @ Meal Top. Photo credit: Aaron. Our neighbourhood of choice today is Sinchon, another university district. For lunch, we found a cafeteria closeby called Our Home, filled with office workers, so we decided to join them. There were 2 menu options: A and B. The description was all in Korean,… Continue reading Asia Day 45: Seoul (Sinchon)
Photo of the day: Sunrise in Seoul. I fell back asleep shortly after this shot. I think we are still running on Thailand time, as we have been sleeping in everyday since we got here. I decided it was ok to be a little lazy since it is Sunday and we have been traveling for… Continue reading Asia Day 44: Seoul (Namdaemun Market – Myeongdong)
Photo of the day: Budae Jjigae @ Simpson Tang. Photo credit: Aaron. Today we are going to explore Hongdae! This is the area around the Hongik University that is great for shopping and hanging out with younger locals. As soon as we got out of the subway station, we saw a long line-up for something.… Continue reading Asia Day 43: Seoul (Hongdae)
Photo of the day: Flaming scallops in Myeongdong. Photo credit Aaron. Either sleep-deprived from travelling or due to the 2 hour time difference, we both ended up sleeping in today. We started the day grabbing some coffee/tea and a sandwich at a coffee shop downstairs. There were many neighbourhoods in Seoul to explore, each with… Continue reading Asia Day 42: Seoul (Myeongdong)
Photo of the day: Hanwoo @ Maple Tree House. Photo credit: Aaron. There are limited direct flights from Phuket to Seoul and they have odd departure times (1 or 2 am). We decided to save some money by taking a indirect flight with Air Asia, with a transfer to Kuala Lumpur. This led to a… Continue reading Asia Day 41: Kuala Lumpur – Seoul (Sama Sama Express at KLIA2 – Optiontown experience – Korean BBQ)
Photo of the day: Pad Thai on the streets of Yaowarat. Photo credit: Aaron. I am very sad to say that this brings us to our last day in Thailand, as well as our last day in Southeast Asia. We will be heading north to acclimatize our bodies to the cold winters of Canada; however,… Continue reading Asia Day 40: Reflection – Thailand
Photo of the day: The view from our villa @ Paradise Koh Yao. Photo credit: Aaron. Exploring cities have been really fun and exciting, but we wanted to plan a little 3-day getaway during this part of our trip before heading to vibrant mega-cities. It also gave us a chance to celebrate our anniversary/valentine's day/Aaron's… Continue reading Asia Day 37-39: Ko Yao Noi
Photo of the day: Red curry with chicken @ Krua Charifa. Photo credit: Aaron. It was time for another rest day! We spent most of the day making good use of the co-working space and pool at the hotel. For lunch, we wanted to give Krua Charifa another try since I watch Mark Wien's video on it… Continue reading Asia Day 36: Phuket
Photo of the day: Long tail boat on Maya Bay. Photo credit: Aaron. One thing was missing from our trip so far - beach time. So we decided to dedicate a whole day to it. We joined a Phi Phi Islands (pronounced Pee-Pee) tour organized by Phuket Sail Tours, again based on thousands of excellent… Continue reading Asia Day 35: Phuket (Phi Phi Islands)
Photo of the day: The streets of Phuket Old Town. Photo credit: Aaron. We started the morning enjoying a pretty good breakfast at the hotel. There was a good selection of Thai stir-fries, served with plain congee. They also had western selections, such as banana bread, toast and croissants. The most interesting section was the… Continue reading Asia Day 34: Phuket (Old Town – Traditional Thai Massage)
