Gyeongsan

Gyeongsan is a small town located near Daegu. It's a town famously known for the National University of medicine so you will see many students in a hurry trying to get to class on time.

Independently wandering around this small town it felt so refreshing to be out of the busy city of Busan.

One thing I liked about this town was to see the local family run business's it's great if u want to experience local home made foods and drink in cafe's which sell homemade cakes and sweet treats.

One thing I love to do in Korea is visit the supermarkets! They always seem to be bursting with colour and offer a variety of  fresh fruits and vegetables. 

And of course let's not forget about the great choice of soju and beer! 

I always try my best to learn a new recipe whenever I can when I visit Korea. Korean foods are full of nutrition and are known to be very good for your health. 

One recipe I enjoy making is korean curry! Simular to that of the famous Japanese style curry it's easy to make and enjoyable with a beer. Just simply chop few potatoes carrot and onions boil them for 10 minutes and then add the sauce mix. 

Where I left off...

Due to a busy work schedule this summer I've not updated my blog for a while but
there is still so much I want to share with you about my travel experiences in South Korea....

Most of my time spent was during my winter vacation last year so I hope to continue where I left off before I embark on my next journey for my summer vacation in just 9 days time!

I promise to keep a more up to date blog as I know some of you keep emailing me and asking me questions and curious to see what's next?

I want to thank you all for your kind messages I recieve every day and for your support and concious effort to keep following me and wanting to learn from my blog.

I'm very grateful to each and everyone of you who visit my blog and for voting me blogger favourite published in Seoul travel magazine earlier this year.

                            Keep smiling

Anju

Anju is a term for a Korean food consumed with alcohol basically like tapas.

Anju can be a variety of foods in Korea, including both main dishes and side dishes.

Consuming food with alcohol is a widespread practice in Korea,

especially when the alcoholic beverage soju is involved.

Since the introduction of beer and Western foods into Korea bars and 

pubs have enjoyed a new found popularity and many types of western 

food is eaten as anju.

Some foods are considered to be best complimented by certain types of 

alcohol for example : 

Samgyeopsal barbecued pork belly is considered to go

best with Soju.

Fried chicken or Korean seasoned chicken goes better with Beer.

and Pan-jun and Mokkoli (or dongdongju) is a popular combination for rainy days.

.I really love eating anju and drinking with my friends when I'm in Korea!

If your new to anju then I recommend Korean Chicken and Beer!

Its my favourite! Korean fried chicken is the best and has many varieties.
