Love & Passport

UPDATE APRIL 28, 2012 I’m currently living in Bari, Italy and am very happy to find & recommend another Indian eatery.  Everything I need to satisfy my curry craving is found at Rajni Sonkar- Ristorante Indiano.  This will certainly tide me over for the next 6 months! *** In honour of Diwali and my true […]

As I spend so much time away from home, it always gives me a warm & fuzzy feeling to find something heartily Canadian while abroad. This doesn’t happen often but it did when I stumbled upon (and eventually out of) the Big Rock Brewery pub in Seoul. In Gangnam, to be exact. Being a big, […]

Happy New Year, everybody! In just a few short weeks, I’ll be heading back to Korea. I don’t really like Korea in January as it is generally cold, cold, cold! I am nicely acclimatized in Vancouver and can’t really handle wintry weather anymore. Essentially, I’ve turned into a big west-coast wimp since leaving the prairies […]

Each time I’m in Seoul, Korea I stay at the M Chereville in Gangnam. While the location is super convenient and with walking distance of the vast majority of my appointments as well as all the food and entertainment you need, I vow each time I stay at the Chereville that I will never stay […]
