Eats around Sun Moon Uni - Asan Campus


Here are just 2 of the many possible places to grab a bite in the area...not exactly Korean cuisine but meals that can be easily taken out and eaten outdoors for a picnic of sorts.
First one is Dos Mas for burittos -- Korean style. Drinks available are softdrinks so either that have your own water bottle. 
The space is a bit limited with only a few tables cramped inside. Not exactly a place to hang out for a big group unlike the one near Soon Chun Hyang Uni. The owner speaks a bit of English. 
The choices for these burittos are beef, pork, chicken and beans. Take note that the beans used are like the Hunts' pork and beans kind of thing -- not exactly my kind of beans personally speaking. 


The other one is the dosirak kind of place. They have a lot of things one can choose from that it would take a bit of time to pick one from their menu below.  I haven't tried any but I will if I happen to be in the area next time. 




(Note: This post was written  a couple of years ago but got buried in drafts. I'm not sure if these are still as they are as they were back in 2016 or 2017)

Summer 2018

Aug 4

It's August and it 's been sweltering hot for almost 2 or 3 weeks now!
Sweltering is really an apt word for what it is like this year's summer. It wasn't this hot previous years. Even a tropical girl like me finds this weather challenging so that is really something.

We've manage before without hankering for an aircon at home but this one is really something else. And there aren't any rain forecasts coming as it usually does to break the increasing temperatures. Hubs came home early last week trying to find a small aircon that he almost bought but lucked out with the payment system. Ha! He tried to pay sometime in the midnight when all the online banking are off, then when he finally got thru, it was a wrong account number as he realized a few days later. Then he had to first get a refund but got it AFTER the deadline for the payment passed. He lost the on the good deal and reasonably priced unit and I just glad that he didn't get into the desperate mode to splurge just to get through this insanely hot season.

He is now on a 6-day-off from work and won't be able to enjoy the free aircon at the office unless we go to the library, where he now works, and just hang out there even if hes not supposed to be there at all. hahaha! What an irony of life!

I did plan on doing my own adaptation modes like going to church today and maybe hitting the bookstores these following days. I'm also looking at going to other libraries in the nearby town as I had heard that there is a new English library that opened recently. Unless my husband has other plans or actually do some stuff he had planned before instead of just trying to beat the heat and stay home without stepping even a foot outside our door for the following days until he needed to go back to work again. Oh my..

I have to make my own plans even small as it would be more than hell if I just stay home with these Koreanos who wouldn't want to face the kitchen but demand food and stuff. Good thing the kid listens better a bit but they both can be too much. I just wanna get away, really.
