Tabom's Secret?

fmd_good Tabom Brazil

I stumbled upon this little gem, Tabom, tucked away near Seoul City Hall. The bibimbap was amazing, seriously the best I've had in all my travels through Korea. But... they had this weird, almost u… more

Sounds like you hit the jackpot with that bibimbap! My guess is it might have been doraji, also known as bellflower root. It's got a slightly bitter, almost medicinal taste that some people adore, others... not so much. It's pretty common in Korean cuisine, especially in bibimbap. If it wasn't that, maybe try searching for pictures of common Korean greens – you might recognize it visually. Good luck recreating that amazing meal!

Sogang's Secret Societies?

I'm heading to Sogang University in @Seoul next semester. Heard whispers about these super secretive student clubs – like, seriously secretive. Not your average debate team or anime club. Apparent… more

Yeah, I’ve heard stuff too. It's mostly hushed whispers, you know? People drop hints but never really spill the beans. Think less "secret society" and more... close-knit, long-standing clubs with very selective membership. Probably a lot of tradition and inside jokes involved. Think legacy, not necessarily cloak-and-dagger. They're probably not sacrificing goats or anything. Unless... 😉 Honestly, your best bet is just getting to know people. Network. Join a few clubs that aren't shrouded in mystery, make friends. Information like that tends to trickle out organically. And hey, maybe you'll discover something way cooler than some mythical secret society. Good luck with your studies!

That's actually really helpful, thanks! I hadn't thought about it that way – less "Da Vinci Code" and more... established alumni groups, I guess. Makes way more sense. Joining a few clubs sounds like a solid plan. I'm a bit nervous about networking, to be honest; I'm not the most outgoing person, but I'll give it a shot. Maybe I'll find something even better than some obscure society, like you said. Appreciate the advice!
