SGIYL S. Korea : Getting Started


To me planning for a trip to another country is part of the fun of actually going somewhere new.  Paul's usually the detailed planner, but I always come up with ideas or wants and he puts them into action.  With my See Global In Your Local, I'm having the same fun with coming up with what I want to learn, experience, and do for this local S. Korean exploration.  

I have already eaten some GREAT Korean food at Chosun Korean BBQ and Korea House this week.  I took some video and will add it to my final video at the end of the month.  But here are some of things I can't wait to do:

{King Spa} I want to go on a weekend and spend all day soaking in the spas, eating in their restaurant, maybe catch a flick, rock out to some karaoke, and possibly get acupuncture!

{Super H Mart & Komart} I want to check out both Korean markets.  Especially H Marts food court!

{Fashion}  I would love to try on a traditional Korean dress.  The original color blocking!

{Art} Even though I have already been to the The Crow Collection of Asian Art and the DMA, I would love to explore them again with more detailed eyes.

This picture was from my previous post on my Mother/Daughter Dallas Getaway!

Most importantly...

{Tradition}  I can't wait to learn about basic Korean traditions. 

So here's a toast to an exciting month and learning something new!


Love, Sarah

SGIYL : See Global In Your Local


I have fun news!

I'm starting a new journey that I will be sharing on my blog.  With help from my husband, it's called See Global in Your Local!  

I have been itching to go travel the world and really soak up everything there is about another country.  But to do so takes time, money, resources, planning and not to mention my job and husband would probably miss me too much.  Sooo... I will be exploring other countries in my own backyard!  I started thinking about how silly I am to long to learn more about other cultures when my own city is full of different ethnicities.  

I'm diving into South Korea.  Luckily one of my best friends is from there.  With the help from him, his family and friends, and a little bit of online research I'm going to learn about their culture including dining, activities, celebrations, traditions and fashion!

I can't wait!  I plan on sharing what I have experienced each Friday.

Love, Sarah
