As for airplane food, some food isn't all that great but other times we have had fantastic food. It is definitely more difficult when you have food allergies though to get a great meal. Last year going to Africa we really enjoyed our food. We were very happy that I brought a ton of healthy snacks along so we certainly had lots to eat because of that.<br /><br />Yes, we have always found that the best experiences are ones that we have with the locals.<br /><br />You are going to have such fun on your own trips that you have coming up.

Unfortunately, we won't be able to bring any soju back with us because at least one of the flights that we will be taking to get to Mexico, we will have to have our bags as carry on so we wouldn't be able to take the liquid through the security check. :-( Guess you will have to see if you can find the soju there in Mexico.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-86157673444280996272014-10-04T19:55:34.609-04:002014-10-04T19:55:34.609-04:00We sure feel like we are!We sure feel like we are!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-66476078410263511362014-10-04T19:54:50.389-04:002014-10-04T19:54:50.389-04:00You are totally right Erin.

We are now more familiar with how the metro works here, which is a huge help because we will be using it a fair bit of the next little while when we are out exploring on our own. They have also helped a fair bit with the food so that we at least know a few of the items that are gluten free so that we won't starve.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-77513450942219535982014-10-04T19:49:54.979-04:002014-10-04T19:49:54.979-04:00Yep, it is wonderful to have our own guides at lea...Yep, it is wonderful to have our own guides at least on the weekends.<br /><br />The meal was fantastic, especially considering that we hadn't had a "proper" meal in two days.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-10793645247263938972014-10-04T19:47:49.469-04:002014-10-04T19:47:49.469-04:00You are right about the length of time to get from...You are right about the length of time to get from the park to Korea but it was still a long two days!<br /><br />I can do quite well with chopsticks but Kevin gave up and used a fork, maybe by the end of the trip he will have mastered them.<br /><br />I think June rented the place for herself as well because she said that her sister and her friends are quite loud so when we aren't using it, she will be using it, so that she will have some peace and quiet.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-1420099425511950682014-10-04T19:29:40.107-04:002014-10-04T19:29:40.107-04:00We liked the kimchi but is it also VERY spicy!

I think we will notice more of a difference when we get outside of Seoul. Right now we are finding things to be very modern and really not much different from Canada and the United States of America. The Korean BBQ was delicious and we really enjoyed it and the explanations of the different foods from both June and Park.<br /><br />We will definitely take a look at that blog, thanks Mary-Pat!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-15121435022310849882014-10-04T19:09:55.000-04:002014-10-04T19:09:55.000-04:00The meal on the plane was pretty much a snack!
