Yaletown - Sinchon [신촌]

Yaletown Burger & Bar
2014/03/08 @ 신촌 [Sinchon]

Last Saturday, I met up with the Lykeion boys out in 신촌 [Sinchon]. We had fantastic burgers and poutine at Yaletown Burger & Bar. On top of that, they offer unlimited curly fries with every burger. I haven't been to Yaletown, but they have definitely upped their game on the curly fries. They were so much better than last time. CJ's childhood pal, Andy, showed up to hang out for the night, too. After eating, we played a few games of beer pong before we realized it had started to snow. It was a small hiccup in the evening's plans, but we pushed through and had a great time.

Dos Tacos - Seoul Mexican Food
2014/03/08 @ 강남 [Gangnam]

Many weekend afternoons are spent eating Mexican food in Gangnam. I usually choose Dos Tacos, because their burritos are excellent. You can get most Mexican food you're craving here. Tacos, enchiladas, burritos, horchata, and much more. On this particular Saturday, I went into Gangnam with Alyssa to help her plan her pal's trip to Seoul. Then, she was kind enough to treat ME to Mexican food. Totally worth it.

The Beat Generation - A Video by CJ Houston

The Beat Generation

I'll be featuring CJ Houston's videos every Saturday for awhile. This video was primarily shot on New Year's Eve in 강남 [Gangnam] at Whiskey Weasel. There's a lot of head-strapped GoPro footage that's super entertaining. It was cut together nicely to show the fun we usually have in Seoul.


(For more Korea videos, check out CJ's YouTube Channel or visit my YouTube Channel. )
