First Arrival

When I first arrived in Jeju (2017.6.16), I got to visit the local farmer's market, owned and operated by my fellow team members at the Global Jeju Culture Co-op. All locally grown and made food, all beautifully representing the best of what Jeju has to offer!

How to Make: Pickled Korean Radish with Red Cabbage

Image
Pickling Radishes and Red Cabbages Pickled vegetables are one of the most common side dishes in Korean cuisine. They are easy to make and can feed a lot of people - they also pair well with just about any main dish (especially Korean BBQ and other grilled meat)!!! Let's take a look at how to make some pickled Korean vegetables! First up: Get some Korean or daikon radishes and red cabbage (much sweeter than white cabbage). You will also need vinegar (about one or two bottles, depending on how much you want to make), and some white sugar. However, you can change up the recipe if you like! Try apple cider vinegar to use less sugar, or use a soft beverage like a lemon-lime soda in place of the sugar. (More on that later!) Start by setting up in a nice spot where you'll be able to peel the radishes (like you would a potato) and make sure you have some cutting boards for slicing the cabbage and radish.  Slice the cabbage into small, thin pieces. If you need to, p...

Living in Jeju for One Month

Living in Jeju for One Month Hello~ I am the Global Jeju Culture Cooperative Association’s Im HanJi. <--- My team member! ^^ I’ll introduce you to our GJC camp program: Youth Living in Jeju for One Month! 😊 Lots of people come and visit Jeju to enjoy the beautiful sights and island life. But not many people consider staying for a long period of time. Why is that? When you’re working, you have no free time. If you just relax all the time, you’ll have no money. The true dilemma of youth. These days there are many young people working in freelance or just doing odd-jobs. They have the time and willingness to go out and travel, but trying to travel for a long period of time – say, one month – is too expensive… T_T So we’re preparing the GJC “Living in Jeju for One Month” project! “Come and live in Jeju for only 350,000KRW a month!” GJC also offers another benefit! We have a working holiday program that you can j...

Ambassador of the Fields: Life in Jeju #1

The Changing of Seasons What's it like to live in Jeju Island, South Korea? When many people think about moving to a new place, they usually focus on a city within their home country that either has a lot of job opportunities, cheaper costs of living, or personal appeal. However, after I graduated university, I went with a bigger move: a change of countries. Though the US and South Korea are very different countries, I have found a very happy life here in Jeju. ^_^ First and foremost, Jeju has a very strong and prominent vibe. It's a very laid-back place, though it is filled with hardworking people. The people here love their island and want others to love it too. They want visitors to appreciate it's natural beauty, it's agricultural efforts, and it's welcoming natives. It does not take long to fall in love with Jeju. The island itself is absolutely gorgeous, with beautiful sites everywhere you go. Just walking along the beach, you ...
