Three weeks left exactly

Today we went to the best duck restaurant in Seoul (that I know so far). The restaurant is called "Mao" (after the famous Chinese leader). The place is very Chinese authentic style and is full with pictures of Mao himself. It is located in Apgujeong area on the south side of the river in Seoul (Kangnam). I had to reserve a table in advance since this place is mostly full with people. You can see by the cars that park outside that the people in this area are from higher classes. Anyway, don't worry about parking – there is valet parking service just outside the restaurant that costs only 2,000KRW.

 

The famous dish of this place is the Peking Duck. You can order 1 full duck or 1/2 duck. The duck itself comes crispy and well done. It comes with like tortilla pieces that you roll with a few vegetables…and voila – a very tasty dish.

 

After that we continued to our favorite ice cream place called "Cold Stone" – this is an American chain where you pick your flavor and add-ons. They take everything together and mix it up in front of you on a frozer stone, so the ice cream does not lose its texture. Overall, it has some very good tastes. The ice cream itself is very creamy and elastic. And overall, it is fun to see the Korean workers that prepare it signing to everyone that comes inside the store or in specific occasions (like when you have a free cone, etc).

 

Tomorrow's experience – we go to buy Korean furniture. Isn't that about time? It took us only 2 years to do that :-) …

More updates on tomorrow will come … tomorrow.

The time has come

August-11^th – we have a booked flight tickets and we are leaving Korea for good.

We had some great moments but also very difficult ones. It has definitely been one of the most learning experience in our lives for both of us.

We came 2, we are leaving 2.5 – this is in itself something great.

 

Still, we have so many things that need to be arranged as part of the move, but the bottom line, we are moving to Dallas and expect to be there in September…
