I looked at the decor of that first restaurant and knew what would happen. it sometimes seems to me that the more modern and stylish the interior of a restaurant is, the more likely it's serving overpriced dreck.<BR/><BR/>sure, I'm probably wrong sometimes...sometimes.Roboseyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308196436612993379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223895036811635558.post-20779394026170052052009-03-03T07:14:00.000+09:002009-03-03T07:14:00.000+09:00My favourite place to go in Gwangju is the 떡갈비 (Dd...My favourite place to go in Gwangju is the 떡갈비 (Ddeok Galbi) street in Gwangsan near the 송정리 (Songjeong-ri) KTX/subway station. It's just five minutes walk away and you can get the most delicious charcoal grilled minced meat patties. Sort of the traditional Korean answer to the hamburger. I'll see if I can put up my post before the weekend with some detailed directions and photos.Paul Ajosshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06419722669640238351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223895036811635558.post-90004164325593943122009-03-03T06:59:00.000+09:002009-03-03T06:59:00.000+09:00I'm glad you enjoyed the story.

I felt I should contribute something positive to the often overwhelmingly negative Korean blogosphere.<BR/><BR/>Oh, I like my location, I just occasionally get frustrated with the fact that I have to go to at least Mokpo, and generally Gwangju, to get most things. I like the peace and quiet here, but I'm not sure it was worth the trade off.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to Gwangju this weekend, so I would love some recommendations!Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02057778340760717886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223895036811635558.post-74295064577662699212009-03-03T06:51:00.000+09:002009-03-03T06:51:00.000+09:00Thanks for the add.

I hope you get more chances to come to some of the bigger cities and try some delicious dishes.<BR/><BR/>If it's any consolation I know some good restaurants in Gwangju. I'll hopefully be blogging about them this week.Paul Ajosshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06419722669640238351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223895036811635558.post-63198179800503978832009-03-03T06:27:00.000+09:002009-03-03T06:27:00.000+09:00One of the things that makes me sad about living o...One of the things that makes me sad about living out here in the countryside (I live across the street from rice paddies) is the lack of good restaurants of any kind. I come from a foodie family, and it's downright depressing out here sometimes.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I added you to my blogroll over at my blog: <A HREF="http://www.driftingfocus.com/blogs/" REL="nofollow">http://www.driftingfocus.com/blogs/</A>Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02057778340760717886noreply@blogger.com
