Do you realize how super easy they can make your life? These facilities are true one-stop-lifestyle-shops that will make a person’s life (especially a parent’s life) in Korea extremely simple and efficient.

Discount Manga Book Store 만화 할인 매장
This is a post for the super nerds who love comics and Korean language. If you are a lover over the manga / manhwa style you are going to love this discount bookstore located a short walk from AK Plaza. There are sooooooooo many books as well as quite a few puzzles (random) and manga inspired toys and trinkets. Keep in mind, these books will be in Korean but it’s another great way to practice the language if you are learning. For whatever reason, this store name can’t be found…

Zip (delicious meat near AK Plaza)
For years now, I’ve been looking for a samgyeupsal restaurant near AK Plaza that made me want to come back. I’m not saying I haven’t eaten meat downtown town and thought it was fine, but none made me dream of a return trip. (Yup, I’m a meat snob now. I never even saw it coming.) Not until now. Which is why taking a vacation is so important. With more time to meet up with friends and just chill out, I found the motivation to give the city center one more…

Japanese Ramen
Leave your own review on www.MollaKorea.com. Just: Click Here Although I’ve been to Japan, I’ve never been there with any money (long story for another time). This means I’ve never had authentic Japanese ramen in Japan. Sure I’ve tried a few random places in Korea, but nothing really stood out until I found this place in Pyeongtaek. It was delicious. A place I would go out of my way to eat at for sure. Now, I’m not telling you this is 100% authentic, because I don’t know what that even…

Mandu Restaurant: 엄정 자신있는 만두
If you are in downtown Pyeongtaek near the KB Bank intersection and need something fast, I heartily recommend this little “fast food” joint. It’s one of my favorite spots to grab something cheap and fast, usually the galbi mandu or the fried mandu – or both. The food tastes fresh, and if you are really busy to can just grab it to go and eat it on the road. A wonderful thing when you are feeling hangry. Sorry that I don’t have a photo of my actual meal as I…
