If you’ve been in Paris for longer than a few weeks, holidays like Thanksgiving might be just the thing that trigger ‘culture shock’.

Parisian bakeries in Seoul, South Korea and royal Korean cuisine in Paris. It sounds like a good exchange. A few months ago I mentioned to you that if you’re longing for the flavors of Seoul, you can head for the Korean Barbecue on Rue Delambre (Metro: Vavin [...]
