Instagram Fulbright Project
The following pictures are Instagram snapshots of the everyday lives of Fulbright Scholars in South Korea. Fulbright has created an unexpected community of Instagram photo bloggers who share with each other the diversity of their cherished experiences. This photo sharing phenomenon allows Fulbrighters and their respective communities to vicariously experience moments like a walk home or an adventure with their host family. Infusion welcomes you to enjoy filtered perspectives of the places, things, and people Fulbrighters love. For more Fulbright Korea photos, visit us at @fulbrightkoreainfusion.

City Guide Restaurant Reviews: Vatos Urban Tacos (Seoul)
Vatos Urban Tacos is a rising star on the Korean fusion scene. Founded by a trio of Korean-Americans (one of whom is a former Fulbrighter!) after a successful Kickstarter campaign, the Vatos menu offers a creative, mouth-watering medley between Korean and Mexican cuisines. On a usual weekend night, crowds of foreigners and Koreans alike wait on the wooden patio outside the restaurant, clutching pagers and staring wistfully at patrons already munching on the complimentary chips and salsa.
City Guide Restaurant Review: The Lazy Diner (Daegu)
If you are craving good American food but don’t want to spend a ton of money, The Lazy Diner in downtown Daegu is a great option. The menu is not huge, but it has a decent variety considering its size. It does include a few dishes that are difficult to find in Korea, namely macaroni and cheese (a side dish, not an entree). They have an all-day brunch menu and a small selection of salads (with American dressings) and pasta dishes for those wanting something other than a burger or sandwich.
