Dr. Fish

The Big Fish

Well, we found one. After a year of looking we found a Dr. Fish. It was located in Gangnam, Seoul a few buildings before Dos Tacos on the fourth floor. Fish eating all the dead skin on my feet..it was quite tickiling. Heather and I went with a group of our friends just before we left Korea. It was alot of fun. You can enjoy a cup of coffee and get your feet exfoliated at the same time. 

South Korean troops mistakenly shoot at passenger jet

South Korean troops mistakenly shoot at passenger jet

South Korean troops have fired at a passenger jet after mistaking it for a North Korean aircraft.

Soldiers on Gyodong island, off South Korea's west coast, fired 99 rifle rounds at the Asiana flight, which was out of range and landed undamaged.

The incident took place early on Friday close to the tense border between the Koreas.

The airliner, which had 119 people on board, was descending at the time to Seoul's Incheon International Airport.

The plane had flown from the south-western Chinese city of Chengdu, an aviation controller told AFP news agency.

Two marine guards fired their K-2 rifles at the civilian flight, according to South Korea's Yonhap news agency.

Cherry Blossoms

Come Spring, Cherry Blossoms line the streets of Korea, but their beautiful flowers only last a few weeks.

Luckily, we were able to enjoy their beauty, before all their petals fell, littering the sidewalk like snow.

Spring in Korea

We have throughly enjoyed the beauty of Spring in Korea so far.

Flowers are in bloom in every green space you can find, beautifully painting the streets and parks of Korea.

A Dinner in Korea? Butterfinger Pancakes

Butterfinger Pancakes

The first word that comes to my mind is delicious. Truly any American should give this place a try if your missing IHOP, Denny's or even your mommas' homecookin'. It will be a close contest to who's the best. Located in Jeongja-dong, Butterfinger pancakes has an extensive menu of, not just pancakes and breakfast, but also amazing salads and desserts. Don't miss out!

Mexican Food in South Korea: Las Margaritas

 We have found the closest thing to Mexican food in our little home Jukjeon, South Korea. And being from Texas, We have some true authority on this topic. :) It is REALLY good.
The owner James is from Vancouver and is an experienced chef and business owner. He is really reaching out to the foreign community in his restaurant, as well.
 The service is just as amazing as the delicious chips, salsa and sour cream.
We would definitely recommend the fajitas, our personal favorite. They are served on a sizzling skillet, with lots of delicious steak, chicken and vegetables. The fajitas come with guacamole, cheddar cheese, flour tortillas, sour cream, salsa, spicy ranch, refried beans and spanish rice. I highly recommend a trip to Jukjeon just for a taste. It is conveniently located on the popular restaurant row.  

Dak Galbi...Yummy

Dak Galbi is an amazing experience for any forigner living or traveling through South Korea. Dak Galbi is an amazing mixture of vegetables, chicken and spicy red bean paste. It is a combination not to be missed.

Here are some pics for you to savor....

Bullet Train to Put Anywhere in Korea in 90 Minutes' Reach

Expansion of the KTX bullet train network will make it possible to reach any major city of the country within an hour and a half by 2020, in theory permitting workers to commute from any part of the country. 

The Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs on Sunday said the rail network expansion plan is aimed at drastically boosting efficiency and connectivity by 2020. 

According to the plan, the high-speed sections where the KTX can run at a speed of more than 230 km/h will be expanded about 6.4-fold from the current 368.5 km between Seoul and Busan to 2,362.4 km crisscrossing the country by 2020.
