A few, few, few months ago, I had a chance to spend two weeks at a farm in Jeollabuk-do. It was a 4 hours bus ride from Busan (and 3 if coming from Seoul). It’s a certified organic farm located on a bit of a hill. The wind […]
Our family took a work-ation to Newfoundland this past week, and I felt an obligation (a slightly selfish one), to seek out a Korean restaurant, and write a review for this blog. On our first night out, we came across a Korean restaurant, called “JKorean” near our hotel, […]
Korean influences can be found are all over the place, sometimes where you might not expect them. Station W is a café in the Verdun district of Montreal. It’s a welcoming place, with very friendly employees. The room is bright, with lots of places to sit, and […]

I have a friend that lives in the Dundas-Ossington area, which I love. Mainly for the fact that the area is great with food. Most recently, the Korean-fusion OddSeoul just opened and it had to be the place that I acquainted my friend with good old Korean food. […]
Cette semaine, j’ai demandé à plusieurs personnes qui demeurent au Québec ce qu’elles connaissaient de la culture coréenne. Au total plus de 100 personnes ont répondu à cette question, la plupart à travers mes médias sociaux, le reste à travers des connaissances et […]
