Winter in South Korea: Food, food and food (on the cheap)!

*extremely picture-heavy post

Before we visited Seoul in 2011, I was really worried over our food, as well as the amount of money we had to allocate just for it. However, we were surprised that we were able to survive that first time without having to tighten our belts and pinch the penny, and we were actually very liberal with the food we ate.

The movie picked up from where the last one had finished. Kimmy and Dora’s relationship improved, even though Kimmy still has this abrasive behavior towards everybody.
