Articles: Food, Korea & Canada, Subways

Clearly I need to add 호턱 (hotuk) to my list of foods to try. Can't go wrong with dough and brown sugar. I mean, how amazing does the photo from Chaney Kwak for Conde Nast Traveler look? (7th slide). While on the topic of food, Elle of Cute in Korea posted not long about 동빵 (poop bread). Sounds like something I would love. I'm making it a mission to try it at least once. The number of blog posts or articles about food in Korea I look at, you would think all I plan to do is eat, eat, eat.

Korea and Canada honour their 50 year relationship (Korea JoongAng Daily article). Also G.NA is an honorary ambassador. I might not be a huge fan of G.NA, but I am Canadian and going to Korea. Cool to hear this about the two nations. Also looks like I'll be in Korea for some of the Canadian celebratory fun:
There will also be a special program on KBS2 TV on Canadian cuisine in May or June in partnership with the Canadian Tourism Commission, as well as a Canada Day event in June in cooperation with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Korea.
Oh and the KTO posted that the Seoul Subway Travel Guide is now available in four additional languages, including English. Handy-dandy. 

It's been a long time since I've posted one of these types of posts here, eh? I used to do so more often when this blog was for school. But, it's fun, so once a week or so I'll round up a couple on fun things relating to Korea & Travel. You can also follow me on twitter @andiekp3 for more articles and such as I tend to re-tweet them.

KonMari books; pretty and practical

Image
 I swore to myself I would not buy the companion book to The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up . How many books do I need on tidying? After having moved four times in the past year and a half or so, I've cleared all my unnecessary objects. The first move in particular forced me to get rid of a ton of stuff, including around 300 odd books (which I should mention I miss terribly. I never realized that books are my favourite and most comforting decor items, until they were gone). There's just something about Marie Kondo's complete love of organizing, useful tips, and adorable book designs that I'm weak to. The moment I saw the little pictures, I knew I had to buy it. That said, as I'm reading this one, I feel like I'm more likely to use it in the future. The layout and images make an easy (adorable) reference guide that you can look back on and find what you need without much of a search.

Konkuk University, KU:L House dorms

Image
I left the last post with a photo of the forest path that leads to the dorms, so here I'm going to pick up the tour with the dorms! Living in the dorms at Kondae is a bit different than living in dorms in the States. The rules are definitely stricter than my own school's (although the commonality is no alcohol!). Here's a few: Boys and girls are kept secret and cannot enter each other's halls  No guests!  You have to scan your card to get in and out of the building.  Somewhat enforced curfew (which I broke a couple times)  Point system - you get points when you break a rule. I only remember that breaking curfew was two. If you are only staying for one semester, these don't affect you. So you can kinda collect as many as you wish. If you are going back, these can get you kicked out of the dorm in the next semester. The dorm area, when the weather's nice there is always people sitting outside or wandering about. The dorm cafeteria, open for breakf

Style: Tae Gong-sil of Master's Sun (주군의 태양)

Image
As I've already mentioned, my latest drama obsession is Master's Sun. The basic story follows a young woman who can see ghosts (Tae Gong-sil) and a CEO with a mysterious past (Joo Joong-won). The two meet, learn to trust each other, and of course fall in love. The drama is currently airing with great success and is a product of the Hong Sisters (The Greatest Love, You're Beautiful, My Girl, etc.). The main cast includes 공효진 Gong Hyo-jin, 소지섭 So Ji-sub, and 서인국 Seo In-guk. Tae Gong-sil and Joo Joong-won Tae Gong-sil (Gong Hyo-jin) has a very relaxed style in this drama. She tends to wear a lot of basics and has a love of layering. I decided to play around with some of her looks from the drama to create my own versions.
