Leaving Busan behind, here’s the next photo set with Yeji as we head to Daejon where her parents live and to do a mini-day trip to Jeonju with her rather cute and playful Mum who I totally adored.
Some of the highlights were:
- Having the 2.5 hour mugunghwa train ride from Seoul to Daejon just go by in a flash as Yeji and I just chatted away constantly throughout the journey
- Seeing Yeji really enjoy the chocolate truffle from UK chocolatier Paul Young whose confectionary is simply divine
- Laughing so much as Yeji’s Mum bridged the language barrier by showing me Hanok children’s games which I failed miserably at but yet had so much fun
- Devouring a yukwhe (raw beef and egg) bibimbap for dinner which was gratifyingly good
- Being completely taken aback by the balloons that Yeji’s Mum had done (calling me “Ssamy”) welcoming me to their home – such great hospitality
Coming up next … a long day trip to Tong Yeong with Yeji and her Mum.
