So apparently the delicious Dakgalbi (Korean bbq’d chicken) originated from a city to the north east of Guri called Chuncheon. We took the ITX up from Yongsan on Saturday to go to the well known DakGalbi Street itself that is a small minor street just off the main shopping thoroughfare and it’s just galbi restaurant after galbi restaurant. We didn’t have a particular one in mind so popped into one right opposite the above photo.
It was incredibly tasty but not sure whether we’d venture up there a second time just for galbi as it took an hour an a half on the ITX train and all the shops there are the same as everywhere else.
It is fun to do an afternoon trip up there though and the views from the train were great. Don’t let the touristy picture above put you off either! We were the only waygooks (foreigners) around that we could see.
Getting there: From Seoul: Get the ITX from Yongsan to Chuncheon,(W6900). It’s the last stop and takes about 90 minutes. It’s walking distance (about ten minutes from the station). If you can’t find it, ask somebody for “DakGalbi Street”.
Cailín meets Korea 
It is the kind of thing you do once, just to say you did it…but now you have had it in the city it originated. 😀 technically I could go around the corner to have it…never have though!
