Episode 18: "Have You Missed Us... (As Much As We Miss Korea)?!" [A chat about KOREA in KOREA-town]

The Not So KOREAN Podcast

Fairly hot on the heels of the tail-end of "Seollal" (설날 / Korean Lunar New Year), Jay and Tim take a different approach to recent episodes and videos, and in fact chat 'on location' - in the popular "Cake & Bingsoo Cafe" in New Malden aka KOREA-Town UK - about Korea and what they miss about being in South Korea.
Choosing such a venue as the location for the first of such chats [yes, more of these fill happen in the not too distant future] gives Tim and Jay an excuse to not only chat about the cold Korean delicacy, Bingsoo [빙수 / Bingsu] but also 'living in the cold' in Korea.
Topics also discussed are being an expat in Korea, South Korean fashion, the intention or possibility of travelling back to Korea in 2022, the Lunar New year [in Korea and other countries], missing Korea and slightly off on a tangent, the beauty pageant known as "Miss Korea" (미스코리아). These are just some of the items covered in this show.
