In 2006, I spent six months in Seoul for work. I fell in love with the city: the food in Insadong, late party nights in Gangnam, salsa dancing in Hongdae, and hiking the mountains which surround the city. I became immersed in the culture and warmth of the people. I was lucky enough to meet great locals who I bonded with during late nights of eating Korean BBQ of Samgyeopsal<\/i> (pork belly) and washing it down with soju<\/i> (best described as a Korean vodka). When I arrived at Mandu DC<\/a> on K Street, I was transported to the great times and meals I had during my days in Seoul. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
