I’m a blogger, writer, and urban explorer. I worked in South Korea’s ESL field for the 15 years. My one year contract turned, unexpectedly, into a journey!

KMK: Manoffin Cafe

March 5, 2011July 29, 2023 Brian Dye5786 Comments on KMK: Manoffin Cafe

I just had the most divine cupcake ever and it came from the most unlikely place: Mr. Pizza! It seems as though the Korean Pizza giant has opened a chain of coffee and muffin establishments called Manoffin. Not the mot inviting or attractive name, but with cupcakes like the one I had they could call […]

KMK: Hanhwa Resort Sledding

March 2, 2011July 29, 2023 Brian Dye607Leave a Comment on KMK: Hanhwa Resort Sledding

This year for our field trip my winter camp decided on Hanhwa Resort. Specifically, because of the opportunity for the kids to get in a day of sledding.

KMK: Bao

February 21, 2011July 29, 2023 Brian Dye7555 Comments on KMK: Bao

Bao in Itaewon is  a welcome addition to the ever growing restaurant scene in the HBC/Gyeonidan scene. If you haven’t spotted this hidden treasure then make your way over to Gyeonidan. It’s just across the street from Lazy Sue and next door to Noxa. First you can choose the Bao basic and decide between noodles or […]

KMK: The Loving Hut

February 18, 2011July 29, 2023 Brian Dye6935 Comments on KMK: The Loving Hut

The Loving Hut may sound like some red light district scandalous establishment but I can testify that it’s nothing like that at all. The only sinful act going down happens to be gluttony which comes as a surprise to me since it’s an all vegan restaurant. Now I’ve had vegetarian meals in the past. You […]
