I've recently been away from Goyang for a while; I was down in Busan for a month and then I went overseas for a few months so I haven't been able to keep up with this blog much. However I'm back now and one of the first things I did was catch up with some... Continue Reading →
Ilsan – Saffron India (Lakins Mall, Restaurant)
I've been busy lately and haven't been able to post much. I did happen to visit an Indian restaurant for lunch last week so I thought I would post a quick review on that. Hopefully I will be able to get out more in the coming weeks so will be able to do more posting.... Continue Reading →
Ilsan – La Tasca (Goyang Garosugil, Restaurant)
I'm a bit late in posting this as it was over a week ago that I visited La Tasca (라타스카). Unfortunately life gets in the way of blogging sometimes. However, I had my notes and photos and finally got some time this long weekend to sit down and write it out. As I mentioned in... Continue Reading →
Ilsan – It’s Cola (One Mount, Restaurant)
Last weekend I went for a walk over to One Mount. I haven't been in over a year so I was interested to see what had changed and if there were any new restaurants and cafes. They have added some new places there and they have a whole new area in front of One Mount... Continue Reading →
Ilsan – Bar Shelter (Meat Street, Bar)
This week I decided to try out a cocktail bar in Ilsan. It's called Bar Shelter (바 셸터) and is in a building on Meat Street but it's up on the second floor. The building is accessible from both Meat Street and the other side (towards Lake Park) so it's one of those ones that... Continue Reading →

Ilsan – Soupy (La Festa, Restaurant)
Soupy (수피) is a great little restaurant located upstairs (Building A) in La Festa. I recently visited for brunch and was very impressed. It looks like a country kitchen type place and the food has that kind of feel too. Everything looks and tastes homemade (it seems like most of it is made on the premises)... Continue Reading →
Hwajeong – Allumare Coffee Roasters (Cafe)
Allumare Coffee Roasters (알루마레 커피로스터스) is a nice, quite little cafe. I've been here a few times to meet a friend who lives in Hwajeong. She likes to come here to work on her computer sometimes. The cafe has a country vibe with lots of plants and dried flowers hanging up all over the walls.... Continue Reading →
Hwajeong – Goyang Yangju Immigration Office
I recently had to go and renew my visa so I thought I would include a guide to the location of the Goyang Yangju Immigration Office in case it is your first time and you are not sure where to go. (Note: I am on an E-2 visa so most of my information, other than... Continue Reading →
Hwajeong – Burger & Friez (Restaurant)
If you are looking for a burger place in Hwajeong then your options are pretty slim. There are the standard fast food options like McDonalds, Burger King and Lotteria but that's about it that I have found so far. If you know of any other interesting places please let me know. However there is one... Continue Reading →
