about

i stumbled upon seoul one cool day in november, and the colors were changing everywhere. it was autumn; and i fell in love.

over six months, i stayed with korean families, rubbed shoulders with rowdy university students and ate spicy kimchi every single meal. like the locals, i trudged through the harsh korean winter (where a certain -20degrees chill almost killed me!), and stayed up all night to sing ktv, eat barbecued pork and drink soju. then, i also experimented with almost all the skincare brands you can find in myeongdong, and learnt how to bargain my way through the loud streets.

so what i've seen and experienced, ive decided to share!

type:seoul will try to introduce the place, provide travelling tips, share koreans books/dvds and most of all, create an online community to exchange information on korea.

so take a little time off, and have fun :)
and if you have a piece to share, email me!

love, anch
