Hispanic in Korea - Diary Vlog 4 Everland







EVERLAND WAS SO MUCH FUN! My friend Viviana and I spent about 7 hours there and we didn't get to see everything! There is so much to do there. I really wish that we had more time. By the late afternoon though we were really tired and our phones had died. There really isn't a place to charge our phones so take an extra battery!!

The place is huge so be prepared to walk!!!

Hispanic in Korea - Diary Vlog 3 streets of Seoul, Job info and more Mexican food!







This weekend was amazing! Saturday I hung out with Viviana, the Mexican I met from a meet up and her friend from El Paso, Stephanie. 3 Mexicans speaking Spanish in Seoul must have attracted others to us because Stephanie has been living in Korea for 2 years and not once has something like this happened around her. Every 15 minutes someone would come up to us and IN SPANISH as where we were from. It seemed like everyone in Korea was able to speak Spanish that day. It was bizarre! I loved it!

We had some more great Mexican food, this time from Taco Amigo in Itaewon. It is right outside Exit #4 at Itaewon station. You just walk up the street and you'll see it on the right. It's a very simple restaurant and it was much cheaper than Vatos Urban Tacos. BUT, I have to say that I like Vatos more... I really like fusion food. Don't get me wrong I will be back to Taco Amigo many times... It is great comfort food. But when I need a good date or something, I will be heading to Vatos.


I also went to Insadong to Gyeongbokgung Palace. It was beautiful. I will make a video about that soon and about N Seoul Tower.


For now, here are a couple of pictures.

Hispanic in Korea - Diary Vlog 2 Bongeunsa Buddhist Temple and Mexican Food




Camera still sucks... I'm using my phone for this! Sorry in advance...

RANDOM coincidence but I ate FANTASTIC Mexican/Korean fusion food and as it turns out Vatos Urban Tacos was started by a Texan! Woooo go Texans :)

Seriously though, it was amazing food. Expensive but amazing.


Also I went to a close by Buddhist temple they are gorgeous! I am not religious but it was still great to check out.

I also went to the Seoul Arts Center to see the Edvard Munch collection - gorgeous! But since they didn't let me film or take pictures I only have these few pics:





Anyway, will try to blog about once a week.

Thanks for checking this out!!!
