No Stress at "No Stress Kitchen"

My friend, Apple aka Pia :) took me to this place for our late lunch in Hongdae called, "No Stress Kitchen" ...well, we were not stressed at all, but I had "stress eating"!

Located in the district of Hongdae between Hongik University Station and Hapjeong Station in Seoul, this Italian inspired restaurant is very popular among students and also for young adult like us. Good thing we had a late lunch because I heard at night especially on weekends, they are fully booked. (even on winter) So curious why, but the food says it all :) super loved their menu. Maybe you have to order the family menu/ or set, for sharing, so you can have steak, veggies and pasta, except the Lasagna - which is one of the purpose of our visit. (the craving never ends!)

I think one of the popular dish is the gorgonzola pizza or the pumpkin flavored pizza...and they have all other kinds of pizza as well. Koreans love recreating beans, pumpkins into any kind of delectable dish as long as it's do-able :)

If you are in Seoul, you can google (map) their address:  404-8 Seogyo-dong (43 Dongmak-ro 9-gil), Seoul

Company Workshop & Christmas Party at Taekwondowon

Taekwondowon
Muju, South Korea

Last year we didn't have a get-together like this one. But I guess the event was worth it, despite the cold and snowy weather. Taekwondowon is one of the worlds' finest and popular taekwondo headquarters. (I mean, one of the biggest) The place wherein education, training and research into Taekwondo to create and diffuse its culture and values with state of the art facilities like the Arena, Museum, Theater and Hotel. Our two day activity stretched with planning, christmas party, taekwondo workshop and exploring the their facilities. The fun filled experience ended with the showing of Taekwondo exhibition in their theater, which was incredibly exhilarating.  I took some videos you can check out below...
