Panic Packing for Korea



WOAH, I'm flying on Monday! Already?

Can't believe how fast 3 weeks of summer has flown by. I just started reading the SAC Korea survival and to my instant panic, I haven't bought a camera yet, considered the June rain season, or found significant housing. Oops.

After making desperate calls to my one Korean friend living in town, I've planned to meet with her tonight and figure out this hasukjib business. In case you too have procrastinated your packing for a 3 month trip in three days, here's a great gift to bribe friends to help you prep.

Yum Yum Oreo Truffles:
1 package Oreos
1 pack cream cheese
1 pack Almond Balm chocolate

Food process oreos untill cookies form fine flour. In a bowl, mix oreos with cream cheese really well. Roll dough into quarter size balls. Melt chocolate in microwave. Roll balls in chocolate and cool in fridge for an hour.


I have to admit, though, pre-traveling panic feels kinda good :)

  1. That is one amazing recipe. Please hide that from me between now and forever!

    Good luck with hasukjib. You'll be going with the flow soon enough.

  2. Hey Hana!
    mom wants you to stop your vegetarian beliefs and eat some animals at Korea. Apparently Korean meat dishes are delicious. Saramheyo!
