Sanji Lighthouse (Jeju)

To be honest, we hadn't heard of this place before, but it was one of the stops on the Jeju Golden City Bus Tour. We thought it would be interesting to visit a lighthouse in Korea, so we decided to get off at the stop and take a look. Iho Beach is conveniently located close …

My Guide to Korea’s Café & Beverage Chains

Korea has so many café and beverage chains that it has become a fun challenge for tourists to attempt ticking all of them off their checklist. I personally have a checklist to keep track of what I have tried before, but if it's your first time in Korea, how do you know which ones are …

Onedang Gamjatang (Myeongdong 1)

I'm back with another review of a restaurant in Myeongdong! If you are wondering why I'm always talking about things to eat in Myeongdong, that's because I always stay in this area during my Korea trips. It's really convenient for tourists, + I have member's discount & loyalty points for Skypark Myeongdong, so I might …

Iho Tewoo Beach (Jeju)

Going to the beaches is a must in summer if you're in Busan, but we surely didn't expect to go to one on Jeju Island. We hadn't exactly planned our Jeju itinerary at that time, but one of the stops on the Jeju Golden City Bus Tour was Iho Tewoo Beach, and we knew we …

Namdaemun Market

Having been to Dongdaemun, I figured that it was time for us to also explore the other famous '-daemun' in Seoul: Namdaemun. I've heard extensively about this being a really big market in Seoul, and people come here to buy all sorts of things. I wasn't exactly looking to buy anything, but I always have …

O’sulloc Tea Museum & Innisfree Jeju House

Is it a coincidence that Innisfree Jeju house is right next to O'sulloc Tea Museum? Definitely not! For those who are familiar with the brand, you may know that green tea (be it green tea seed or green tea itself) is one of their core ingredients. It is little wonder then, that you also find …

The Jincook (더진국): Gukbab

The backstory of how I came to eat this in Anam: I was visiting Korea University in the winter of 2017, and it was possibly the coldest day of my trip. If I recall correctly, temperatures fell to about -10 to -13 degrees Celsius that day, and I was inadequately prepared (think thin ankle socks, no …

Gwanghwamun Square

 Many people may be familiar with this attraction, as it is located right smack in the middle of Seoul, and right opposite Gyeongbokgung! On August 1st, 2009, the redesigned Gwanghwamun Square opened to the public. The close to 20,000m2 Gwanghwamun Square is located at the center of Sejong-ro which connects Gwanghwamun Gate and Cheonggye Square. The …

BIFF Square

You might have heard of the prestigious Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) before, but what exactly is BIFF Square? I couldn't really wrap my head around the idea of this being a tourist destination, and it took some searching from KTO to find out: Busan’s modern movie district was originally little more than a pair …

Florté Flower Cafe (플로르떼)

When it comes to stuff like hunting down famous food places, I usually leave it to my friends and family to do it, because I'm not really the kind of person who will intentionally hunt down these places. However, when I saw this café in a Korea guide book, I knew I had to go. …
