First and foremost, I've got to apologize for the long hiatus from blogging and an even BIGGER apology to those that have emailed/commented on my post on choosing Grand Hyatt for our wedding. Life has been busy busy busy, earning money for our upcoming house and what not. On top of that, I've been suffering from some slight health issues.

If not for my cousin asking me about where to stay at while in Seoul, I doubt this post would ever see the light. Haha.

But still, it's always a nice, warm and fuzzy feeling when you receive a special mail, isn't it?

Hello there, I've decided to compile some information on wedding banquets for the benefit of others, just as how other brides-to-be have greatly helped me by sharing information online.
In this post, I'll be sharing on the Wedding packages for 2015 offered by Mandarin Oriental, Goodwood Park Hotel, Park Royal On Beach Road.

Text above all wonderfully crafted by kind-hearted fiance, for which I, if given a choice, would not have bothered writing them such a good one.
Writing a testimonial and posting it on their FB page for Ido-Wedding was a deal Ido-Wedding had us agree upon. What a good marketing strategy, using FB to advertise!

Bukchon Hanok Village is the closest you can get to experiencing traditional Korean culture in Seoul. The traditional houses date back to the Joseon Dynasty.
Tucked away in a small district in central Seoul, Bukchon Hanok Village is surrounded by Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace and the Jongmyo Shrine.

When it comes to Korean food, or in fact, anything Korean at all, you'd definitely have 삼겹살, Korean BBQ meat in mind.
It isn't one of the most traditional dish from the Korean culture, but is certainly one that is crazily popular worldwide.
So my recommended choice of 삼겹살 (pronounced Samgyeopsal) in Seoul is, 팔색삼겹살 (Palsaek Samgeyeoksal)!
