Out shopping with rx


Was feeling bored one of the weekdays, so rx and I decided to go shopping for shoes instead of joining flora, sq and the KU people for a movie at Sinchon. In the end we didnt manage to see anything we fancy. Here are some random pictures taken along the way...




And on our way back, rx was helping me take a picture in front of a shop selling hanboks (traditional korean costume) when a drunk ajorshi popped up and requested to take a picture as well. Look at his fat fingers and fat face. I think he is really a twaeji (pig in korean)...


Dinner with Singapore friends

We met up with the KU people again. Eng Teck's best friend from Singapore, Melissa, also joined us for dinner. Melissa is a SQ girl who flew to Seoul for a day and so we met up for a hearty meal of Samgyeopsal ( bbq san cen rou) and Galbi ( grilled ribs) at a restaurant in Dongdaemun. We also helped her takeaway a dozen Krispy Kreme to bring back to Singapore. Its a pity that Singapore doesn't sell Krispy Kreme, the doughnuts are simply delicious! But I have to admit that they are extremely fattening as well... =(



The service was good as the ajuma was very friendly and helpful. The food tastes not bad too, overall it was a good experience, even though we smelled bad after dinner because of the smoke from the charcoal and meat.


After dinner we proceeded to MyeongDong to get sq's birthday present. MyeongDong is one of the favourite hunts of local youngsters for shopping, there are many stalls selling clothings, accesories, skin care products, shoes and food. So for people who are interested in visiting Korea, be sure to drop by MyeongDong. We got 2 pairs of boxers for sq in the end and he found them very useful~ hahaha~
