This was an incredible experience! After meeting Na young at the subway exit, we walked to a nearby market to sample local street food and purchase fresh vegetables for the cooking we would do later. Next we walked to our host’s home to start our culinarily segment of the day. When we arrived at the house, we began preparing the vegetables Na young just bought for kimchi. As we helped prepare soup and the main dish beef bulgogi, we conversed about our plans in Korea and Na young’s future restaurant plans. The food was delicious and the company was easy and enjoyable to talk to. Afterwards Na young and her lovely dog Luna walked us back to where we started this excellent adventure. Highly recommended.

Great activity for anyone. Great moment! Jinsil is a great host. The meal we prepared were great and Jinsil gave us good tips on how to recreate them afterwards. I didn't see the time flies by. The access to the kitchen is also very easy and convenient. The building is directly adjacent to a subway exit.
