Korea

 Readers may know of my slight obsession with Korea 
My friend Ruth and I had planned to go last year to meet our mutual friend Ben Who lives there with his family , but alas that wasn’t to be
Now I’ve heard that my great niece is going to her friends Wedding in Korea 
How lovely she looks too in the traditional Hanbok wedding outfits 
Next year , after Rome, Venice and Barcelona , I’m going


My great niece Ellie, far right

    1. Of course, North Korea doesn’t make disaster movies

    3. Watch this space (the world) for a North Korean disaster movie?

  4. Are you and Ellie going to travel together? I was in South Korea about 10 years ago for 3 days at the tail end of a trip to Japan. But I was sick as a dog with flu the whole time I was in Seoul, so the only thing I saw was my hotel room, alas. On the final day I was thankfully well enough again to go sightseeing in the DMZ (demilitarized zone) with the group and then to the airport for our flight home to Canada.

  6. Ellie will have some recommendations for you when you make your trip to Korea. It will be great to see Ben. I'm sure he knows all the hot spots to be seen in Korea. Ellie is adorable and the wedding party photo is lovely.

    Beautiful picture! And imagine all the great food she will enjoy. On the other hand, dreadful interminable flight.

  11. I remember some gourmet saying that 'it's impossible to eat badly in Korea', which makes it sound very attractive to me. But I don't suppose that counts for N Korea.

  12. The ladies look beautiful! I hope you manage to visit there one day. I know very little about the place, only having watched some good films from there and seen photos of some of your recipes.

  16. They look beautiful in their wedding outfits. I am inspired by the colours of their clothes and will use the same colours in a painting!

  18. Love anything Korean, including Hanbok and it's history, and their awesome makeup and personal care lines.
    Have only been to Seoul, would like to go back and see more.
    John, if you haven't you MUST watch the TV series (2022) called PACHINKO. I read the novel first which is one of my favorites ever, and the TV version is sooooo beautiful, sad, and gorgeous to look at, and you will learn so much interesting S. Korean history
    Happy Easter, hope Springtime is blooming in Trelawnyd.
