Backpack B's

Christmases past we Bee’s have given our grandparents tickets to attend the Sight and Sound Theatre, typically accompanying them. Since we have been away almost two years, sadly we haven’t been able to uphold that tradition and go with them. So this year because we knew we’d be home, we purchased tickets to go! Sight [...]

Recently We took the plunge and purchased a juicer. Let me rephrase, I got an extra early Christmas gift from Santa. Yes, the Hurom Slow Juicer to be exact. The company is from here in South Korea. I’ve got to let you in on this little gem, I am OBSESSED! Obsession, pure obsession! I already [...]

Saturday I invited a good girlfriend to tag along to Seoul with me. The main purpose of the trip was to check out a newly established farmers market located right in the downtown area of Seoul. I was particularly excited because a few other bloggers mentioned the freshness, the organic quality, and how everything was [...]

I had an appointment in Seoul today. Yes, the long train ride, the heat….meh… But, there was a silver lining to this day… The Express Bus Terminal! After my appointment, I knew I had a long trip back to D-town. I decided why not explore! Check out a place I’ve never been before. I wandered [...]

…are the cats meow! So thankful for the fifth day market freshness, all within walking distance of our place. What a delicious daydream!

Unfortunately I couldn’t tour Korea with Rebecca today, it was back to the daily work week grind for me. However I was very fortunate to have the time I did off with her. Rebecca decided to get up, Skype, and catch the metro down to Myeongdong to see one of Korea’s catholic cathedrals. Afterwards she [...]

Farmers markets around the world vary so much, they each have their own personality and aesthetics. Rebecca said that whenever she travels to a new country she really makes an effort to check out the local offerings. See what the locals sell, buy, make, how they live. You really get a better understanding of the [...]

Early rise this morning. I made an appointment at the hair salon in Seoul for Rebecca and myself. I was in desperate need of a trim and highlights…I know, complete shocker these sun kissed blonde highlights are chemically engineered. I was really eager to introduce the sweet girl that cuts my hair. I knew Rebecca [...]

We all woke up around 8ish-9ish this morning. We didn’t have a real plan in place. We wanted to keep the decisions of what to do up to Rebecca and how she was feeling. Mr. B whipped up some south western egg whites and I cut up a nice fresh Korean watermelon for breakfast. Eventually [...]

I woke up and road the subway for and hour and 30 minutes to a part of Seoul known as Hongdae. Hongdae is where Hongik University is located. Hongik is a private university and is best known for it’s Fine Arts programs. My hair dresser and some other friends suggested that I check the area [...]
