After nearly a 13 hour flight, sleep deprivation and excitement, I made it! Let's just hope I can make it to Daegu now with my little Korean speaking abilities, lol.
With a lot of help from a friend and his parents, my first taste of genuine Korean hospitality, I was able to navigate thru Seoul airport and make it to Daegu.
And from Sharon's recommendation, my first meal was nyangmyeon (cold noodle) to ward off the hot & humid day.

Lo and behold, I got to try Sharon's other food recommendation on my first night: ttokboki/dokbokki. Spicy but YUMMY! I sought it out for the remainder of my stay because it was SO good. Unfortunately, even though it was everywhere, this was the only time I got to eat it =(
and for a little more culinary adventure, my friend, Adam, thought he'd introduce me to pig intestine! Little did he know, I'm Filipino, we're all about the pork & the insides too. Tasted just like lechon without the vinegar and the garlic =) The culinary adventure and my travels thru Korea have just begun!
