Day 4 of Korea meant it was time for Jasmine to leave us for her exchange room. That left me, Livia and Odilia to explore by ourselves, heading to several different locations. And this is our "matching shoes" photo, which took several takes believe it or not.
If you look close enough at the photo, you can tell most peoples heads are bent downwards, this is because they were using their phone, I would say a good 80% of people would be on their phones at any given time in any location, that is Asia for you!
This is incheon, which is more developed area of Seoul with a wider range of different cuisines from different parts of the world. This area is known as the areas where most expats live/eat/hang out.
Comedian Hong Suk-Chun restaurant, on this street alone he had two restaurants and apparently several more in multiple locations across Seoul.
Cereal Bar, a supposedly very famous cafe
Us being very indecisive we just decided to slip into one of Hong Suk-Chuns restaurants, and what we did not expect was to see him come in. Hong is the only openly gay comedian in South Korea, so he is a pretty big deal, but his personality and his english was just perfect. (Contrary to what I believed before, most koreans have pretty bad english, so it was a nice surprise when he came bounding in with perfect english)
The little free sides they give
I believe this was the wheatbuck noodles, and YUM. It is probably more of an asian thing, but I love anything weird like this, although saying that I normally do not like cold things but over the past year or so my picky eating has gone away, (thank god).
Sorry not sorry, sweet and sour chicken. Wherever whenever.
A young artist using tape to make a frog, the hipster life in Seoul is REAL.
And then we moved on to the famous GANGNAM. We kept to the underground shopping rather than exploring what would possibly be a massive part of Seoul, and even the underground shopping was massive. We did not even get to finish shopping, and dude did we spend more than we had expected to.
The underground shopping mall was so big it has this type of seating area! And here is Odilia and Livia pretending to act all normal.
Stumbling across a traditional Korean restaurant for dinner. Sitting without shoes, (I had holes in my socks, which probably wasn't the most pleasant thing for other customers, but hey ho)
POSER ALERT
Traditional Korean, cold meat, and so many different sides to choose from. And again the cold buckwheat noodles, to die for.
