Buldak in Seoul Hanok Airbnb has Pork and Seeking Permission to Take Photos

Seoul · June 2024

Sharing my Nov Challenge gem hunts. Ft Seoul South Korea Some stories Id like to share: - just landed in Seoul and i was hungry. There was only one halal place near my hanok, grateful that my host gave me buldak chapagetti but after quick search, theres pork inside huhu. So this iftar place is the only one and nearest halal! Seeing how much post it notes immediately warmed my heart upon entry. So i got the chance to talk to the ones tending me, turns out theyre uni students from malaysia and this is how they make extra I lived in seochon, next to gyeongbokgung because ancient themes are and olive young has too many shoppers….. It’s a headacheeee The last photo: some ahjumma and ahjussi were doing a mini rally / auction / protest god knows in this alley and i took their photos (cause it was such an interesting scene) and five steps later the ahjumma came after me telling me i must buy their makgeolli (which is alcohol thats rice wine i think white in color) since i took their photos. Realizing my blunder that i was not supposed to take photo without consent i quickly said kamsahamnida and deleted their photos in front of them. So this last photo is my last memory, the nearest to the scene, and while it looks like it’s nothing, but sure is memorable
