Seoul

Second time in Seoul.
Wow! Cool City 2009.
Whhyyyy do I live in Busan?! Fuuckk llyyffeee!

Reasons why Seoul is awesome:
the food and restaurants (although Busan has better seafood overall)
single speed bikes
much much more eye-candy
cooler more creative hip areas
more nature within the city
.
.
As Mike pointed out to me, perhaps it is just that Seoul is intriguing. Smart man.
Once I get the Busan hot spots under my thumb--

Annyyyhoooooowwww, awesome trip. I had two great hostesses to show me the best of the city.

I have NO IDEA how Koreans are so skinny! We ate so much I thought I was going to burst. I was not hungry ONE TIME during the trip-- and yet we kept eating--
and it was soooo gooood
I couldn't say no!
HOW?! WHY!? Are they so skinny? I thought maybe my friends just didn't eat-- but I defiantly found out that is not true.

Seafood that sees :\

This was my favorite Korean dish- thusk far I do believe. It was octopus (cooked this time) with a spicey sauce and onions basically-- but soooo delicious-- and only available in Seoul- go figure ha

This was the cutest little dinner I have seen. It is called Yogi which means here or a snack in Korean. It reminded me of a famous cafe I visited in Seattle and Al's Breakfast.

Highlights included:
The Han river
Tasty fancy bunch- which is pretty hard to come by. We had smoked salmon eggs benedict and banana and some kind of cheese that I should remember but don't french toast. Ssoooo goood.
Seeing EIGHT famous Korean people- from writers to actors to K-pop stars--- my friends thought that was amazing- I didn't really know them ha
Laughing and hanging out with the girls-- you know how that goes -- but I will keep the exact details of our chats a secret. Needless to say it was AWESOME
Window shopping- and actually buying a few things including my first pair of cute dangly earrings

YES!!! My Dad and Mom rule!

My first package arrived today! Mike would have had first place if his letter didn't get lost in North Korea or where ever it is.
I am still hoping I get it ::fingers crossed::
Anyhow, my family has reminded me how significantly better Easy Mac is than regular mac and cheese. Macaroni and cheese soup here I come!!! Oatmeal toooooo and chex mix aannnnddd more! I am a spoiled girl.

I think I had some clinging to my throat for ummm half the evening or so.

On a completly different note, Laura hooked me up with the Mac and Cheese black market.

Or more like my personal stash--
four boxes and five cheese pack mixes.
10 months / nine macs= one every one/two months YES!!

Tonight I try the first one-- with cut up hotdog (or something like it) pieces.

Seoul World DJ Festival

I went to Seoul this weekend for a DJ fest there. I stayed with my friend Ben from MPLS which was awesome. However, I wish I would have stayed an extra night to see Envy, a sweet band from Japan I like. Pretty bummed I missed that. All in all, a good weekend but too quick--
aren't they all.

Ben and I

Dancing the night away under a full moon and stars, right next to the river.

Ben's friend, Nick and I--we spent hours holding it down in the front row.

There were a TON of people dressed up at this thing. Half were slutty girls acting like it was Halloween. But I regret not getting pictures with the famous people who were there ie. A dragon, Peter Pan, Pokemon, a cow, ha a ton of fairy tale characters. But don't worry I did get a picture with the big man upstairs: Jesus.
