FN Taco

After 8 months of no Guac or refried beans, we took a 3 hour and 20 minute bus ride, all to eat at FN Taco for some yummy grub and margaritas.

To get to FN Taco, Take the subway into Haeundae Beach. Then, take the exit stairs toward the beach, the restaurant will be on your left, a few blocks before you reach the beach, it is connected to a bar called Fuzzy Navel.

We couldn’t figure out if the bar was foreigner owned or not. Of course we made up a billion stories about how the place came to be, but what a smart business venture. They sell imported beers as well as the local ones. All mexican food and they have a dart board and great music. We figured the restaurant is owned by a Korean due to some of the spelling on the menu. But man, he is smart and should open on in every major city, or Tijuana Flats needs to get on it and open some up over here.

Around 4:30 we sat down for a Nacho Special, a beef burrito and 2 margaritas. Although the food was loaded with veggies, their homemade salsa and guac took the cake! The food was amazing. Adam then ordered a corona, why not? when eating mexican, do as the Americans…so we had a corona. Then another and as the night went on, it got dark outside. The restaurant became more of a bar with more foreigners than I have ever seen. As for the coronas, if you want a lighter bill, stick to the cass on draft, the coronas were about $9.00 a bottle we think.
A nice group of Navy Men, stationed in Japan, docking in Busan for the evening dropped in and we joined them and talked of their adventures and ours. One, Justin, looked ridiculously like Brandon. I almost cried and gave him a huge hug.

We ordered a few more drinks, ontop of a few more tacos…I swear I was in heaven. I have already told the girls I want my bachelorette party to be held there…if anything so I can eat 10 tacos and not be called a pig.
Speaking of, if anyone wants to mail us some of those taco bell preboxed meals from the grocery store, my body can not seem to forget just how amazing Mexican is. It seems like quite a sick craving..but my god I didn’t realize how much I missed it.
At 11 or so we left and headed to the Sugar Love Motel (blog to come later) We had told the Navy men we would meet them at a Rock and Roll bar, but Ad and I just can’t hang. Sdc104001

Our weekends do not often contain alcoholic beverages anymore and well, definitely could not hang with Americas finest. If any of you didn’t loose the blog address on the napkin I gave you and are reading, we wish you the best and if you are ever docked near Mokpo or Gwangju let us know!

How do you build a life around adventure and travel?

Intentionally and incrementally. Most families who live this way did not leap from conventional to adventurous overnight. They built remote work capacity, paid down debt, tested longer trips, and had honest conversations about what they want from their lives.

What does an adventurous family lifestyle actually look like?

Different for every family. For some it is long-term travel. For others it is weekend adventures close to home. What connects them is intentionality about how time is spent and a preference for experiences over accumulation.

How do you balance adventure with stability for kids?

By finding stability within the adventure rather than treating them as opposites. Routines, rituals, and family rhythms travel with you. Kids need consistency in relationships more than consistency in geography.

What has travel taught your family?

That people are fundamentally similar across cultures. That comfort zone is a smaller circle than it feels from inside. That the things worth having in life require effort and discomfort. And that time together doing hard interesting things is the most reliable source of family closeness.

How do you handle the pressure to live conventionally when you have chosen differently?

By getting clear on why you made the choices you made and returning to that clarity when outside noise gets loud. Most families living unconventionally describe an initial period of explaining themselves that gradually gives way to just living the life.

  1. Did you know that there's a Mexican cantina that serves tacos (Taco Bell style), nachos, nacho supreme, bean and chicken burritos, tacos al pastor, quesadillas, fajitas, and fajita chicken salad? It just opened in early February at the Chonnam University back gate. To get there, you can take the 28 bus from Bongseon-dong or tell the taxi, Chundehumoon. Once there, look for the Dunkin Donuts on the main drag. Go up that street and turn into the second alley on your right. It's tucked away in there, and called Tequilaz. They're open at 7 pm until late Monday through Saturday. Here's a link to the Facebook group for the restaurant: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=info&gid=324107715481. Hope you guys can check it out and enjoy it!
