High school graduation is a special time, and Stars and Stripes is pleased to once again be putting together our annual Grad Tab, highlighting information on all of the Pacific DoDEA high schools and their graduating classes.
Spring has fully arrived, with warm sunlight and cool breezes! What could be better than having a picnic in the park? Seoul and cities in the metropolitan area are dotted with pretty parks, perfect for spending a day out. Some of these parks have even been used as filming sites for Korean dramas and movies, a big draw for Hallyu fans. However, the most charming aspect of a picnic at the park is that you can have a full day of fun on a limited budget. In addition, each park has its own unique atmosphere and attractions, making every trip a new experience.
The mall is also the ultimate foodie’s paradise! The 1st, 8th and 9th floors house more than 50 different restaurants, while the Food Market is located on the first basement level.
The Korean corn dog is very nostalgic food for me. When the sweet and savory smell from the deep-fried batter wafts through the air, I’m immediately transported to my childhood, to my old neighborhood and to summer vacation visits to the nearby amusement park.
