During my recent trip to Gwangju, I was really excited to explore the local cafe scene. Korea is famous for its unique cafes with cool themes and eye-catching designs. I had a great time checking them out and want to tell you about three of my favorites in this blog post: Plan B Cafe, Lounge OIC and Cafe, and Lieful Cafe in Gwangju.
I’m a big fan of street food, but it was when I compiled this list that I discovered my genuine liking for Korean street food. I was pleasantly surprised that my palate for Korean street food surpassed my expectations. Longtime favorites like mandoo and kimchi pancakes have been regulars in my life for as long as I can remember.
My life had been thrown in a tailspin. We were moving 7,000 miles across the world from Fort Lee Virginia to Camp Henry in Daegu South Korea. We had to hire a realtor, find an apartment which took 3 months and get to all the Asian traveling we had imagined when we accepted this assignment. The year took us all over South Korea, Japan, China, Malaysia and Thailand and we’re just getting started. 2016 is going to be even better.
