Since the end of World War II, small islets between Korea and Japan have been the site of territorial arguments and friction. Japan calls the islets Takishima while Korea names the region Dokdo. Despite overwhelming evidence that the land is Korean Territory (even Google recognizes this), the one thing that cannot be disputed is the beauty to be captured with a camera when one visits this remote locale.

There are several places to bungee jump in Korea, but none more convenient than the facilities at Yuldong Park. Located roughly 20 minutes south of Gangnam via the Shinbundang Line and a taxi, it’s the perfect place to feel the exhilaration of free-fall.

Throughout Korea, it’s fairly common to see Egg Bread (계란빵 / gye-ran-bbang) served in various street stalls. Egg bread is made by using a mixture that is similar in taste to American pancakes. The batter is then poured into a mini loaf and baked. Then an egg is added.

When out walking the streets of Insadong and at various festivals, it’s common to see crowds forming in front of stores selling 꿀타래, or Dragon Beard Candy. Here’s what Wiki has to say.

In Korea, the treat was a favorite of the Royal Court and made predominantly from honey (꿀).

Itaewon, right on Namsan, claims about 22,000 people as permanent residents and is frequented not only by the US troops stationed near by, but by millions looking to enjoy it’s acclaimed night life and other less-than-reputable offerings. Because of this draw, several international restaurants have sprung up over the landscape, providing visitors with a diverse range of flavors to choose from – something that this episode’s guest was more than pleased to share.

Over the years, I’ve made it a point to avoid this little area of Seoul because of its bad reputation; however, Paul Ajosshi, as he’s known on the Internet, calls Itaewon home. “The Mecca for foreigners, the ghetto for foreigners, the den of inequity,” he tells me as we kick off our discussion of experiences and those terms all ring true in my ears. All of my previous visits to Itaewon at night have seen scores of youths lining up to drink the night away. Seeing as how Paul has lived in Itaewon and the immediate area for eleven years, he’s had ample time to explore the back streets and find the true gems of the neighborhood — which is exactly what I was hoping for.
