Rakkojae, meaning a place where one can enjoy the traditions of times past and rest one’s soul, is a Korean traditional house (“hanok”) located in the Bukchon Hanok Village. It was renovated from an existing hanok frame to a harmonious masterpiece by adding a traditional gate, patio, pond, chimney, pottery, pine trees, bamboo trees and other features. Rakkojae is a place where foreign guests can experience traditional Korean life style without leaving the modern comforts of today. Read more about this perfect combination!

Seoul, like New York and Tokyo, is rapidly turning into a cosmopolis where people from numerous different countries and cultures live together.

Super Crazy Korean Snow Day

Two days ago, Korea saw it's heaviest snowfall since something like forever. It was magical! Snow doesn't usually fall heavily here in Korea. Last Winter, snow would fall occasionally, but would melt away a couple of hours later. On January 4th, 2010, though, something close to 26 cm of snow smothered Korea. Anyhow, the whole point of this backstory is to tell you that this snow day was AWESOME! Spudgy loved it, probably because he never saw snow like this before. I went out with my friends to tape Spudgy hopping around in the snow, and happened to get a lot more than just Spudgy acting silly. It was a wonderful day, ;)))
