Philadelphia Hoagies
Pyeongtaek Restaurants That we love Where to Go: Philadelphia Hoagies in Songtan No weirdness, just real Philly Hoagies on homemade bread. We loved the beef pastrami, cheese steak, and the roast beef. Fries also delicious. Pro Tip: Order the cheesesteak with hot peppers. Address: Just off the strip, turn at the ugly ass gargoyles.

Traditional Food
For over three years I have been hoping to find this place again, but never had the time to go drive through the varies hills and valleys looking for it.

How do I describe this place? Movies aren’t even this dreamy.…

Beaches
Maps and beaches. These are two of my favorite things. Mostly because one leads to the other. Often I take a map and just go to places that seem like they might contain magic. Usually, I am well rewarded. Recently this type of wandering led me to a little slice of paradise. The water is shallow, there are sand crabs to chase, rocks to climb on, trees to rest under, and its away from the insanity. Pro Tip: Leave Pyeongtaek by 9:00am for best results. And NEVER take the main toll…
