Ka Brew BBQ

After being in Korea for six months we've been missing good beer, so on Saturday we toured what seems to be the only craft brewery in the country. Ka Brew sits up in the mountains, about an hour and a half North East of downtown Seoul. Due to Korean law, they are unable to distribute their beer so travelling to the brewery is the only way to get some, for now at least. While it might be the smallest brewery we've ever been to, the beer was good, and we enjoyed a a great day of all you can eat and drink American BBQ.

Yeouido Park

While technically an island on the Han, Yeouido sits in the Southwest corner of the Seoul, functioning as one of the main business and financial centers of the city. The park is known for its cherry blossoms, so we took our sushi from the fish market over and had a picnic in the park.

Noryangjin Fish Market

South of the river near Yeouido is the largest marine products market in Korea. With over 800 different booths from 15 ports across the country, the market fills a massive warehouse with almost any sea creature you could imagine.

Yongsan Park

Spring seems to have turned the corner, so we spent this past Sunday afternoon in Yongsan Park, enjoying the first Cherry Blossoms of the season.

Easter

On Easter we took a hike through Namsan Park up to Seoul Tower. It sits more or less at the center of the city, so the view is impressive, despite the usual Seoul smog.

Fire show

Some friends we ran into at the bar on Friday night convinced us to take a $30 taxi to a random town on the border of North Korea. Twenty minutes of driving through desolate Kimchi fields had us doubting our decision, but any second guessing ended with the promised "fire show" and subsequent late night that followed in Geumchon.

Kindy Easter

We colored eggs, made baskets and had an egg hunt at school on Friday for Easter. Eric snapped a few photos. Enjoy!

She found a lot of eggs, which means a lot of chocolate.
