Sounds like a family holiday to me.

So close to me, relatively speaking, and yet so far.
It's alright you're moving to Edinburgh right -

Missus has another option to go to another very good uni in China, so maybe not. I'll still push for Edinburgh though, but it's less likely than it was a couple of weeks ago.

Are you at the Holiday Village? Just did a two week stint in the Benalmadena one, we loved it and we're eyeing the Ibiza one next. -
We were in Hotel Club Aura, Port des Torrent. If the holiday village is the 'seaview' hotel then it was literally next door and shares the aquapark.Paul the sparky wrote:

I went to the Ibiza HV in Port des Torrent two years ago and it was pretty good. The pool was pretty poor (too small) but it's right next to the sea and there's loads on for the kids.
Edit: actually it was last year and the pool was great. Fuck me, I think I'm losing it.Gamertag: gremill -
I'd happily recommend the location, and the hotel we were in was fine. We had a great hol. Obviously can't vouch for if the seaview is better/worse, but it looked fine from the outside. And having the aquapark on site was cool, you could literally pop in, hit the slides, then walk through the gate back to the hotel pool (via the snack bar for a burger and a beer)...I'm assuming the arrangement from the seaview is similar, with a gate somewhere in the complex straight into the aquapark."Like i said, context is missing."

Yeah, exactly the same. Great apartments too, for families at least. It's exactly what it's supposed to be and as long as you don't expect high culture then you won't be disappointed. Not sure I could stand 2 weeks of it though, I always find myself getting a bit bored of those all inclusive places after a week.Gamertag: gremill -
I hate all inclusive to be honest, much rather be out and about, but it makes sense with the little man. The kid's club and pools were great, made up for some of the crap food/shit tables/meal times being dictated to you/jostling for the last bit of steak/cheap and nasty booze etc. We did get out a few times and had some lovely seafood and tapas, and a surprisingly great curry in the harbour.
We're nailed on for the Ibiza holiday village next year after that. -
did the holiday village have the two 'restaurant' nights included? we had an evening meal in the 'japanese' restaurant and one in the tapas one, they were included as part of the all inc, just had to book in advance. they were tops. buffet was generally fine but about what you'd expect."Like i said, context is missing."

We had a crap burger place which served the same burgers as you got during the day with some of the Mexican stuff from the buffet and a decent Italian restaurant. The best meals we had were all off site, except for the belly pork they did which was surprisingly great.

That's it, I've decided to go to Cuba this summer. -

If you're near the Louis Vuitton building in Seoul , go check out the main entrance. There should be a massive interactive wall with a plane flying through the clouds and passing some international buildings. You should be able to control the plane.
I worked on that but haven't seen it. Don't even see the promo videos we made on their Instagram /YouTube, but it should have gone live last week. -
Nina already rocking it harder than tiger

Right.
Ddeokkbokki Town
First of all, get your arse to I
Sindangdong. That's the name of the restaurant and it's just so banging. Personal recommendation goes to cheese filled ddeok. It was 7 restaurants that formed into a factory of awesome. Here's a link to an old blog that tells you more and how to get there. It is crucial that you go here. - http://kimchikay.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/
Korean BBQ
Ok, I don't have a particular place to recommend for this. There are plenty all over but the local ones I went to (BECAUSE I DID LIVE IN KOREA) would be right out of town. You basically need to find one which has...
The section on the outside where they can pour egg into. They'll drop a load of kimchi in, pour over the egg, and it'll all cook up together. Absolutely gorgeous. Whichever barbecue places you go to make sure you have galbi, samgypsal, kalmaeggi-sal. Crackin'. It will be unacceptable if you leave a bbq restaurant without having drank at least 1 bottle of soju each.
Oh. Yes. Soju... it's horrible really but you have to drink shots of it at the table while eating. Don't have somaek (um, half soju half beer) because you will die like I did during the World Cup in 2010.
Oh. Apparently there's a racoon cafe nowadays. Go have a cup of tea with some racoons. Wowzers Trousers! -
After that, get yourself up Inwangsan. White Tiger Mountain. Pick up some makgeolli and go hiking up it. You will be beaten to the summit by a multitude of old Koreans but if you're lucky they'll give you a slap on the back and insist you take some of their food. Follow the winding route to the top (it's fairly hard going) for sunset and you'll have a treat.
Um. If you can get down again.
Seriously. My favourite place in Seoul.
You'll almost certainly hear shamans chanting when you're up there too. Awesome. -
DAKGALBI. Spicy chicken and noodles. Again, no particular place to recommend and but it wouldn't be a wasted meal if you spotted somewhere.
Howdy, Stranger!
