I have been selected to be on a team for the 1st Korean Food Tour for Foreign Foodies. My team and I will travel to the Jeollanam-do province in Southwestern South Korea to try various food dishes and blog about our experiences. In addition, a television crew will follow us around and film us and the tour will later air on KBS2 (a major broadcasting network here in Korea). You can follow my adventures eating through Seoul on my food blog Carlos Eats. I will add a directory soon to this website as well.

I am quite excited to go on this tour sponsored by the Korean government. Jeolla is known for having beautiful sights and the time we are arriving (the end of October) should be a great time to fully experience autumn in Korea. I will be writing about my experiences on here as well as this perhaps one of the biggest opportunities I have obtained since arriving in South Korea. Many adventures to come soon :)

The Grand Hilton Seoul will host their annual Oktoberfest festival this weekend on September 23rd and September 24th. There is much history behind Oktoberfest festivals and they have been held since 1810 in Munich and eventually spread around the world through various other festivals based on the original. There will be beer, traditional German food, games, and the German “Paulaner Oktoberfest Band” performing live. The event starts at 6:00PM on both nights and the price is 120,000 KW (including tax and a service charge).
