Harvested garlic piled around a pole for stability

Various stone fruits for sale - this is what’s coming in to season

Cucumbers so fresh the blooms are still attached

Dried fish and seaweed for all your seasoning and soup needs

It’s market day here, and the last of the #garlic is coming in with the first stone fruits. I see something cool each time we visit the local sellers. #korea #southkorea #pyeongtaek #expat #expatlife #southkorea #farmersmarket #everyexpatinkorea

A New York themed cafe? We had to pop over to Pyeongtaek Port to check out this massive cafe packed with Americana. It was super cute, and super tasty! Perfect for the ‘gram. 🤌 #expat #expatlife #everyexpatinkorea #korea #southkorea #pyeongtaek #osanairbase #cafe #americana #foratravel

What’s for lunch? Bibimbap, bibimnangmyeon, and ttukbaeigi bulgogi 🔥 I know the warm soups are more of a winter deal, but they are so good! My oldest loves the spicy cold noodles #korea #southkorea #pyeongtaek #osanairbase #expat #expatlife #everyexpatinkorea #bibimbap #foodie #nangmyeon

Snow on the ground mid-March in Korea

Just in case you’re wondering how cold it is here in South Korea, it snowed yesterday. On March the 18th. And not a little. Quite a bit. 🥹 Please, Spring, don’t be shy.

Sitting on the stairs of a slow train in Korea because there were no seat tickets left - standing only 😭

When the ticket seller tells me no seats, standing only…but is it really? 💅 On the real, though, book tickets well in advance (maybe two weeks?) 😭 #korea #southkorea #traintravel #expat #everyexpatinkorea

Various charcoal grilled skewers - chicken skin, bacon wrapped quail eggs, bacon wrapped enoki mushrooms, and chicken thigh

Fried squid

The aforementioned corn which tasted like field corn - much corn, and no sweet 😬

Very, very good charcoal grilled eel

Slammed down some food at a local izakaya - is it weird to be enjoying Japanese food in Korea? 🤔 Everything was amazing except maybe the corn, which reminded me of field corn back home. Still edible, but would not order again 🥹 #korea #southkorea #everyexpatinkorea #pyeongtaek #expat

Secondhand clothing for sale on the sidewalks and hung up at Dongmyo Thrift Market in Seoul

Last weekend we trekked up to Dongmyo Flea Market to check out the secondhand clothing/thrifting scene. A little bit of everything, and something for everyone #korea #southkorea #thrifting #sustainableshopping #fleamarket #expat #everyexpatinkorea #dongmyo #seoul

One thing you can expect from #Korea is the unexpected: this store is selling #carhartt and it has gotten sooooo popular here and in Japan. There’s branded plant pots and a coffee shop inside. #shopping #lottemall #seoul #expat #everyexpatinkorea
