Hello! Could I check how did you ask the ahjussi to pack the ganjang gejang for you? I ate it in Korea last year and it was so delicious I really want to bring it back for my family who loves crabs too. I’m heading to Seoul again in another week and I’m thinking of getting some back. Do you know how long can I keep the crabs? Should I get it on my last day before I head back?
Hihi liz! Actually I only mentioned about packing, he automatically did airtight packing for me ^^ and… I remember is 2weeks ^^ I buy it the day before I flew and put in the fridge till the next day to pack into my luggage before I check out ^^ enjoy your trip! ^^
Hello, i was wondering do you speak Korean? I’m going to visit Korea on march with my friend, but we’re not Korean speaker and afraid that it would be difficult to order food. >< Do they understand english?
