Tokyo/Seoul 2024

It’s been a long time coming…

This trip has been on my bucket list for over five years, but I’m the type that when I say I’m going to do something, I make it happen. When Minjeong (Mimi) moved to South Korea after we graduated High School, we talked often about how I had to visit her. A few months back, the stars aligned and I had a direct flight from MSP to HND taking off on October 15. When Mimi picked me up at the Haneda Airport, it was like not a day had passed. From there, we were off on our whirlwind adventures through Tokyo and Seoul.

The recap became so long I had to split into two parts but as a professional yapper, I still have more to say. So when you make it through these episodes there are more articles below (some are coming soon)!

Tokyo Food Tour

As with any trip, food was part of the destination. Take a mouthwatering peek at what I ate and how I’m trying to recreate it back in Minneapolis.

Shopping Spree

From cat-themed gift shops to a 1am frenzy through the 7 levels of Don Quijote, the girlies shopped ’till we dropped. Take a look at the haul.

Culture Shocked, When Can I Go Back?

This trip was life changing. Week’s later I’m still shocked at how much I saw in such a short time. Here are my take-aways and must-sees.
