We've been looking forward to today for two weeks. Today is the day of the LDS primary activity in Korea where the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints rented an above ground Dough Boy swimming pool! This is one of the best primary activities I've ever been to! It was so well thought out and planned, and...
I know we said Bingsu was Korea's best kept secret, but it might actually be the airline, Jin Air. Okay no, on second thought, nothing beats Bingsu, but Jin Air is definitely one of the best perks the peninsula of South Korea has to offer.
With flights as low as $15 you can take a domestic flight from Seoul to...
A Cat Cafe in Tokyo is such a purr-fect idea! It's simply a business that takes care of cats, and allows people to come pay to play with them. It's a concentrated niche that caters to one specific demographic of people and, as it turns out, quite a few of them at that!
At first it seemed so foreign to...
Koreans love indoor public bath houses.
Totally nude public bath houses.
I walked into the women’s dressing room with my three little daughters and wanted to walk immediately out.
This is what to expect inside a Korean Jjimjilbang with kids!
Spasis: Korean Jjimjilbang Bathhouse
I felt completely out of place, uncomfortable, and culture shock pressing down on my typically outgoing and willing...
Seeing the Northern Lights is nothing short of becoming a witness to celestial splendor. It is emotional and spiritual and supernatural. When we first stepped out off the bus there was no mistaking the arched halo that formed a bridge over the horizon. The sky was no longer dark, as the lights fanned into the sky brilliantly like a...
Grocery shopping is a little different in every city all over the world. In Costa Rica, the grocery stores carry local produce and goods for each community that are acquired within the same community. Costa Rica grocery stores are kind of like daily farmers markets indoors!
Goods are made as fresh as possible, even sometimes as fresh as the...
We continued our bug eating adventures on Day 45 in Seoul, South Korea by the Han River at Bamdokkaebi Night Market. Bamdokkaebi Night Market is a lively family friendly market that includes local sellers, dozens of food trucks, live music, a water play area and beautiful views. It is located inside Yeouido Hangang Park along the Han River.
Day 45...
Gabriel has been promising to eat the Korean delicacy silk pupae snack, also known as beondegi, since we first arrived in South Korea. Today, was that day!
In fact, not only did Gabriel eat bugs in South Korea, but each one of our kids were up for the challenge as well.
We are going to share with you why you would...
The twins baptism is fast approaching, and since they are getting baptized in Korea we thought it would be special to incorporate as much of the Korean culture as possible. We’d been browsing the stores as we went about our adventures, but we needed to dedicate some time to really finding some dress clothes for both kids. The plan...
Elevators in Korea are torture chambers. They are slow, they don't stop at the floor you want, the doors don't open or close on their own, and most importantly there is some unsaid hierarchy to riding them and operating them that we will never understand.
If you know and recognize the evil schemes of Tyrone Rugen, Prince Humperdink's count from...
