How to Get a Korean Boyfriend
Western ladies (and men) usually have an advantage in eastern lands with the men (and ladies). Probably because we look so different, and are apparently their stereotypical image of beauty. I have heard it all before; “You have high nose” or “Oh such small face”. All are compliments that we are probably not familiar with...
Hongdae
Since we talk a lot about different places in and around Korea, we thought that it would be important to actually explain about locations, attractions and show some pictures of where places actually are. Some people who read Chincha either don’t live in Korea, or don’t live in Seoul, and some posts would be better...
Kimchincha?
Kimchi: one of life’s great pleasures. Or, for you heathens, it’s probably considered the devil incarnate in food form. For those of you who have come into contact with South Korea for even a micro-second will know exactly what I’m talking about, as kimchi is immodestly served with every meal. Yes, every meal – even...
Halloween Events 2011
Booooooooo. Halloween is here and South Korea sure knows how to have fun at this time of the year. I can’t remember there ever being as many great parties for Halloween when I was younger, or at University. Maybe it’s an age thing – the older we get, the more fun it is to act...
Events This Week: 17/10/2011
Sometimes I wish Korea would stand still for 2 days – including all the people in it. I really need a night in to pluck my eyebrows, paint my nails and do some chores. Everyone needs time to lie down, eat Pizza School and watch TV shows back to back, right? I get really uncomfortable...
Halloween Special: Boys Noize!
In less than two weeks it is Halloween weekend and we have a feeling it’s going be one of our best ones yet. Here in Korea, Halloween has always been great. Everyone goes all out with their costumes and for some reason walking down the street looking ridiculous doesn’t feel so wrong. This is probably...
Why We Love Korea
This is an accumulation of photos from my time in South Korea so far. They include pictures from the streets of Suwon and Seoul, Jisan Rock Festival, Muuido Island, Namiseom Island, Hwaseong Fortress, Namsan tower, Korean food, and a shot of the baseball at sunset. Outside of the cities, which can all seem to look...
K-Music Kicks: The KOXX
The KOXX are a Korean electro rock band with animated tunes and a rocking live show. We witnessed them at Jisan Rock Festival and Global Gathering this year (although only briefly at the latter since they clashed with Digitalism) and have been listening to them non-stop ever since. This music video is particularly entertaining because it’s...
