After [eating] our way through Yeongdeok and Gyeongju we were ready for a little more time at home, which ironically just meant more food. I managed a successful stop at the outlet mall in Daegu, thanks solely to Uniqlo and we had equal success at a buckwheat noodle restaurant in the Palgongsan area of the city. Noodles in Korea are, for me, a hit or miss. Half the time I'm bored after a few bites, but on the other hand there are times I want to dive into a never-ending bowl. I had high hopes for this one, but it was actually the ddeokdorimuk and buckwheat pancake that stole the show. I thought surely I would be able to skip dinner that evening, but shortly after arriving home I was presented with a take-out menu and asked what we should order for dinner. Magically I was able to put away a heaping plate of jokbal and of course a handful of shots to go with it, I mean I couldn't say 'no' to sampling dad's liquor collection.

I will still utter the phrase, "I don't need coffee, I just like the taste" and whether or not that statement is made in denial I am no judge. Half the time I'm drinking instant coffee, so does that even count, I vote no. The fact of the matter is, I'm an early riser, my body wake with the sun, but my work does not support this. Finishing around 10:30 p.m. with half the week spent 'on call' meaning that my 30-something motherly instinct to sleep with one-eye-open kicks in, I'm always tired. I wake up refreshed, usually, but hit slumps around 10 a.m., 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. give-or-take. Not only that but coffee is well, delicious, oh and I did I mention Jeju has about 100,000 cafe's to visit. Honestly, if I had to chose a life problem, this would be high on the list, caffeine addiction fueling, let's go.

AsiaKoreaWhere to start. After living on and off in this country for nearly 10 years I have memories, experiences and stories galore. I'll now always be a bit partial to the Land of the Morning Calm. Filled with delicious foods, beautiful nature and friendly people, I'm always happy to return. Archives
