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. 

Sinsi-do Island

Recently, we had the opportunity to go on a church picnic, to Sinsi-do Island.


We had a great time with friends and seeing a new place in Korea.


We realized/learned many things we arrived at Sinsi-do.

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.

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.
