Korea On Fleek 2023 - Wonju Wednesday

A shopping morning at E Mart and Lottemart. I always love the SPAM section

the ideal of beauty and masculinity is white has also been pushed onto Koreans

미담한정식 with a great view and the fish was the best for me and its just an included side dish. Jen's parents asked them to give us and extra one. In competition for the best meal in Korea

mulberry leaf rice was the thing in the stone pot and it was delicious, the leaves kind of remind me of taro leaves in hawaiian lau lau

After lunch the Yoo parents went home and we took the new trimmed out suv to Chiaksan mountain again, up to the temple Guryongsa again so bob could see it and at lunch jens dad told us about a short hike to some water falls so that worked out great.

If you donate 10,000 won ($7) you can write a prayer or wish on a rooftile that will eventually be used to repair the roofs when they need it. I wrote: Park Nam Ho, Lee Joo Jin, Steven Hedley and Jennifer Yoo, May our family live happily and healthily. It's nice knowing this is up there on a mountain in Korea, it brings inexplicable feelings.

a tick!

Let's do this hike to the Seryeom waterfall

their new Kia Mohave has all the bells and whistles including a heads up display hologram thing that can only be seen by the driver with simplified directions, it's so awesome and makes driving much safer and easier to navigate. Really want this in the next car we get

back in Wonju strolling and drinking beers and chatting at dusk with my pals, i really liked this end of the day strolls through the rice fields

study area?

our lil stroll made it so we just missed the cut off to eat delicious jajang myeon and tang su yook and jambbong so we tried to find somewhere else and then had to end up eating delicious bbq

one last night at bar Nice to CU (the name of the convenience store in the apt complex). I really liked the nights sitting at that picnic table chatting

moonlight stroll to the pavillion in the rice fields

this was the end of our asia trip, steven will go back to his Osaka life and we'll go back to our brooklyn life and we don't know when we'll see each other next

by this point we are very dumb. Too bad we couldn't be eating late night hanwoo burgers hunched over in the corner of a room like 2 lil goblins
