Supper or…

Oct 30th, 2009

16C outside.
These days the temperature is going up again. Especially yesterday, it was hot. (include my head grrrrr). Anyway, today is predicted to be rainy and after today, the temperature will going down again.. What a roller coaster of weather ^^

Err… is that “-” mark for Nov 3rd??? Hohoho, welcome minus~

So, back to topic.

Supper is described as “the last meal of the day and lighter than dinner“. (thesaurus)

So, if now is 03:24AM and I just had my light meal (read 1 piece of KFC xixi) so is it counted as supper or early breakfast???

Neon Boards

The brightness of N-Seoul Tower (here and here) looks so small compare with these neon boards.

There…can u see the N-Seoul tower back there?

I think these neon boards are one of the uniqueness in MyeongDong. Somehow it looks like those neon boards are competing each other, try to be as big and bright as possible~

Here is the place that you can find (almost) everything that you need (except quitness^^).
Clothes, cosmetics, accessories, shoes, nyummy meals , snacks, gifts, what else??
A even 부동산 (property agent) can be found in here.
*out of idea to name it more*

One of good meeting place in Seoul, or when u feel bore and want to find some crowd, here’s the correct place.

I think it’s one of the reason we (my friend and I) chose it as our language exchange meeting point. Meet then find some nyummy place for the dinner and talk this n that.

2 mins video of passing one of the (not-so-crowded) alley in MyeongDong.

Note :
(based on experience) If you want to user StarB*ck* as your meeting point, better name it in detail. Cos there are many sta*bucks in here looo~~. “I’m in bucks that’s placed in front of bla bla bla… “, better be like that ^_^.

Specially dedicated to Santy who might miss the crowd of life and shopping kkk.

Ten-Ten in Ten

I just realized today that the name of this stall (포장마차)  is Ten-Ten Kimbab (텐텐 김밥). I used to call it mini kimbab’s stall instead of its name.

This stall is located in front of YBM – Jongno Branch. The place that I use to go every week for my language class. It’s a good place to stop by if I’m a bit rushing for the class.

This stall is operated by 2 kind ajummas / aunties. And they do work soooo fast!

So, why is it called ten-ten Kimbab?
Cos it has 10 different tastes inside the (mini) kimbab. They also have BulGoGi, Spicy GoChu, Pork Cutlet, Anchovy, Squid, Tuna, KimChi, Fried GoChu and Odeng (fish taste).
And because i like ham, so my fav is ham (for sure ^^). And i think they can guess my order, since couple of weeks ago I ordered 6 (+1) pieces and it’s all ham ^_^

How bout the price?
I can say it’s cheap worthed.
3 pieces : 1000 won
6 pieces (+1bonus) : 2000 won
And sometime somehow (like I experienced), the ajumma gave one more bonus ^_^.

I was impressed with their idea for this stall, fast food, easy to eat and easy to serve. Just make it, put it then cut it into 2.

And why there’s “in Ten” in the title??

Because… I just realized it that they made it sooo fast… I tried to record it today and count it. 10 seconds for one! Great~

* another recommended thing when u’re in hurry for the class ^_^ *

Before

After

Persimmon

Persimmon (감 – Gam) tree.

First time for me to see a big tree with full of persimmons, or Indonesian says “Kesemak”. I don’t even remember whether I ever ate this this or not, so not sure about the taste.

But this tree is quite tempting..

…

Going down

It’s the temperature that getting down~ and tomorrow it will go down below 10  in the morning. It makes me to re-think about the plan to come earlier.

Ouch..cold weather is a big temptation to make me hiding under the blanket, but just let’s see ^_^

Have a good brrr day~

Fire on Friday night

Oct 16th 09.

It was after the trip and having dinner in JongGak, we decided to continue for the next round (for meals). Somehow I smell smoky things, I wondered who’s smoking around me? Slowly I realized that something burnt, but still have no idea about what is happening.

Then started to see the smokes (top left) and I thought “wow the smoke (for the vehicles) today is so serious may be because of this traffic jam” but just realized when I saw the smoke is getting thicker and saw lot of fire fighter cars.

That was my second time to see big fire, but this one was much bigger and it’s the  first time to see so many fire fighter cars, broken windows and bad traffic like that. Jongak turned to be smoky jongak.

After we had our 2nd meals (around 1 hour), i passed by that area again, looked like the fire fighters were so quick to deal with it *great~~*. The smoke and the crowd was less than before.

I tried to wait for the news in koreantimes on the next day, but couldn’t find anything. So I still don’t know what the cause and the other things. Wish there wont be any victim from this thing.

Next moment…

Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.

-Oprah-
