It was like few weeks ago me (I also forgot when already lol), Tofu and Joey went this bakery at Jalan Delima, Levain Boulangerie Patisserie to try their pastries coz I found lots of bloggers introducing this shop saying that their pastries are incredibly osome.Hmn.. But in the end their spaghetti taste really awesome but their bread taste ok ok only. Maybe because we took so much time taking pics of the bread and then when we eat them they are already cold and hard.lol Some more eating a bread with a knife and a fork is kind of awkward for me.>< And I aint a bread lover.lol

Dear Foreigner,

Today we got some Papa John's coupons in the mail. We get them every few months and tend to promptly use them on free cheesy bready things. This time, I took a closer look at my name on the envelope. Apparantly, to Papa John's, my name is "외국인" AKA "waygookin" AKA "foreigner". CAN YOU IMAGINE, a Canadian company mailing some coupons to a Korean immigrant and addressing it "dear foreigner"? Ohhhh, Korea.

This topic has reminded me of another quick story I'd like to share: last year, Melodie was at a meeting about her summer camp. The meeting was full of 외국인s and there were a few Korean teachers as well, including Catherine- Mel's liaison teacher. Catherine kind of laughed when the attendance sheet was passed around. She pointed out Mel's name on the list and translated the information next to it: it read, "Melodie Erickson, white person". Ohhhh, Korea.

Anyway...I think I'll stop myself from elaborating any further on my feelings regarding this topic. Have a good night, everyone.

Sincerely,

Shawn (foreign white person)

i ♥ my family :)

Went Genting and have so MUCH fun with my relatives.hehe will update soon.Ahh procrastination kills me.><

Will be updating super slow this few weeks coz exams coming.T^T bear with me ya. :)

Bang Bang Bang

Korea is home to three very popular "bangs": Norebangs, PC Bangs and DVD Bangs. You can easily find one of these bangy establishments found on just about every street in the country.

While we've been to norebangs (Karaoke rooms) and PC bangs (smoky computer-gaming rooms), we'd never been to a DVD bang, where you can rent a movie and watch it in a private room. I'm a big fan of value for money (AKA a cheapskate), and since I have my own private room (my apartment) and access to any movie ever made (thank you, internet) I'd never seen the point in going to a DVD bang. But- hey- it's a special Korea "thing" and since we're leaving next month we thought we'd try it out on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

We went to the Happy Zone DVD bang across from Popeye's on the food street behind Gangnam Station, exit 7. First, you choose your movie and give it to the employee who loads it up on a DVD player in the lobby. I guess this ensures that they know exactly when your movie is over and when you should be leaving. The downside of this is that you can't pause your video during a bathroom break, but that's not really a big deal. The whole experience costs 16,000 Won, which is roughly the same price as two movie tickets at a real theater in Korea so... it's a little pricy.

After a few minutes, a room became available and we were ushered in. You can see the projectors in the hallway, and I thought the video quality was quite good.

I was *shocked* at how small our "bang" was. I've had broom closets that were a comparable size. Still, the sofa was pretty comfortable and easily big enough for the two of us. Note that none of the surfaces are stainable. These bangs are widely known as a cheap place for young couples that still live at home to have some sexy times.

The screen exceeded my expectations. I was anticipating a TV screen, but the room had a projection screen that was about 5 feet wide. It was a really cool way to watch a movie, and the speaker system was very good, too. Also, please note the tissue box, to wipe up any mess from your sexy time.

We watched Tron: Legacy. We'd missed it at the theaters last winter and never really thought the effects would look great on our laptop screen, and it did look great on the projection screen. I dunno if anything from the movie is all that memorable besides how they make Jeff Bridges look so young, but it was still a fun afternoon, and I'd recommend trying a DVD bang to anybody looking for something different (sexy or otherwise) to do.

Five Umbrellas Drying

After a solid two months of hot, sunny weather, monsoon season has officially hit Korea. It's been raining pretty much non-stop for the last 48 hours and from the looks of the forecast... the rain is here to stay (and we might even get a tropical storm tomorrow)!

The rainy weather makes for a nice soundtrack at bedtime, but it makes life a lot harder when you walk everywhere. For one, traffic has been much worse since the rain hit, and walking on the sidewalk in overpopulated Gangnam has gotten even more annoying than usual. Koreans love to slowly mosey to wherever they're going, and the rain has made them slower than ever. Add 50,000 umbrellas to the mix and I might just become a hermit until the sun comes out in a few weeks time.

All I ask is that the rain dries up on July 30th. I really don't want to be wheeling four overstuffed suitcases in the rain up Gangnamdaero!
