Yeah, I’m half-Korean. I grew up in Seoul, my dad used to work for the US army. He was a civilian contractor so we didn’t have to move as much as some of my friends did; I had friends whose parents were active-duty military and they always bounced around Korea, Germany, and the Philippines every couple of years. I lived in Korea for ten years but I was too young then to really appreciate the country.

I’ll eat vegetables that aren’t green XD Bell peppers and chili peppers are okay with me though, and mushrooms are pretty good too.

@Tier,
I’m wondering man, are you a Korean or half Korean? You seemed to stay in Korea previously huh. Come to think of it, I spent about 6 days in Korea and Jeju and only managed to visit some small areas of Korea. It’s too big for 6 days.

Also, I think disliking vegs is pretty common. I’ve a colleague whom doesn’t eat mushroom (he claimed fungus) and vegs. He is a carnivorous.

My mom teases me every now and then about my reluctance to eat kimchi. I’ve never actually tried it, but that’s mainly because I don’t really like vegetables much.

I didn’t even know there was a traditional village in Seoul; my elementary school classes always went to the Korean Folk Village, but that’s a bit outside of the city, I think.

Your photos really bring back some memories; I used to be able to see the DLI 63 building right across the river from where I grew up.

Jeez i’m late :/
I’m certain to love those Kimshi, looks delicious. The house is very beautiful, lovely. I’m attracted with old houses, woods and such.
Traditional Asian houses are, for me the most attractive.
MyeongDong looks incredible as well. wow
Looking at this huge Dunkin’ Donuts got me hungry again I ate just few hours ago … bad bad bad
Sweet photos as always ^^
