    Beef Shabu Shabu

    February 29, 2016 /

    Leave your own review on www.Mollakorea.com. Just: Click Here Although I eat here all the time I don’t have a lot of great pictures because I’m too busy stuffing all the food in my face. It’s so friggen good.  The restaurant is very nondescript. When I first tried it five years ago I thought it would be boring and I only tried it because it was close to work and served noodles, I never expected it to be so addictive or rich in flavor. Now I crave it all year…

    Anjung / Pyeongtaek Chili Cook Off

    November 5, 2015 /

    After a busy weekend of tests, Halloween, jjimjilbangs and friends we topped it off by attending the Chili Cook Off being held near Anjung-eup. Despite not actually attending the church, the BBQ’s, birthdays, Cook Offs and other intercultural events hosted by Deakwang Church of the Nazarene are a big part of our lives here in Pyeongtaek. We really enjoy the congregation and staff, many of whom have been close personal friends the entire time we have lived here.  It’s a stable, supportive, and inclusive community.   This particular Cook Off was…

    찜질방 Jjimjilbangs: Don’t be scared

    August 19, 2015 /
    Shows someone relaxing at a jjimjilbang with a sheet mask on.

    Alright, to be clear, I’m addicted to jjimjilbangs/public baths.  Sometimes I wonder if I should just move into one and stop paying rent on my house.  It took me about nine months to get up the nerve to give one a try, and immediately felt like it was nine months of my life I had wasted. Maybe I’m weird, but I can’t see why anyone would say no to a 9,000 spa day. I encourage everyone to give it a try at least once. However, jjimjilbangs are very different from…
