This year, Grace’s mom and dad hosted Thanksgiving at their new home in Los Angeles. When I say Los Angeles, I mean in the heart of K-Town, just like they like it. Mom and dad both added their flair, which has resulted in a beautiful house in the style of post-modern Korean dramas. Addy and…

On Thursday, April 4th (day 5), we were back to sightseeing in Seoul. The great thing about the JW Marriott was that it was attached to the Shinsegae department store, with many food vendors, a food court, and restaurants. It was also right above a major subway stop, which made getting around the city really easy…

In addition to flying with Addy and Charles, coincidentally, our friends,…
