 Typically I am not one for meats..

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a nice grilled cheeseburger in the summer like anyone else.

However, I don’t absolutely need to eat meat to feel full, or satisfied at a meal.

Well… that was until I had….

SAM-GYUP-SAL
Grilled Pork Strips
삼겹살

(Enter) Newest obsession = Dongua Grill.

Gosh, how did we not know this place  exsisted before?

I’m absolutely dumbfounded!

Dear Donuga Grill,
My hips and I thoroughly love your delicious meats, try not to do to much damage down there. I  just know this is a beginning of a very beautiful relationship <3

Café Grace

One of my favorite things as of late, has been arriving early on the train in Seoul and grabbing something warm to sip on before heading into Sunday morning worship.

Café Grace…

Quaint…

serene…

Off the beaten path… (Just my style!)

If you are ever in the Seoul Cathedral neighborhood, stop in and treat yourself to a yummy drink!

Never Did I Ever…

Think we’d be seeing the Broadway Musical Wicked in Seoul, South Korea!

Mr. B purchased tickets to go see Wicked for my (early) Birthday present. SCORE!

The show was at the Blue Square Musical Hall, what a wonderful venue. Space is something that Seoul utilizes very well..so much so, the venue is partly underground, and of course accessible directly from the Hangangjin subway station.

The cast is from Australia, the show is entirely in English. Usually, Mr. B and I find ourselves having to read the translated screens off to the sides of a show..nope, not this time!

“And if I’m flying solo,

At least I’m flying free;
To those who ground me,
Take a message back from me…
Tell them how I’m defying gravity,
I’m flying high, defying gravity!
And soon I’ll match them in renown.
And nobody, in all of Oz,
No wizard that there is or was,
Is ever gonna
bring
me
down!”

 

Ah! I still have goosebumps from all the talented voices, the stunning costumes, and life-like stage props!

 

Even Mr. B enjoyed the storyline!

 

Bravo!! Encore! Encore!!!
