Hello from Seoul!!!
Sorry I didnt have time to do episode 7 for BB coz I am busier than expected in Seoul. Been eating, walking, and shopping till I drop dead. Imagine... shopping till wee morning 4.30am... only in Korea does this happen.
I have been watching My Fair Lady on Tv. Like me, my friend Hyun didnt like the ghastly red hair on her either and she just look soooo tired. I think the eyeliner makeup is alittle too harsh for her and made her look kinda..well...slutty / bitchy? Well that's just me... in general, I think the hair stylist did a super bad job for most of the characters in this drama. By the way last nite, I cannot believe the butler kissed her! I went ewwwwweeeeee.....Grosss... sorry, he is too ugly by my standard...i sooo much prefer the lawyer guy... Pretty good watching Tv with real time translator next to me for a change rather than reading the subs, not to mention have someone making comments with me as we watch it together.. Ha!
I went to do the local sauna and hot bath thingie at Yongsan today. Oh its soo fun! Unfortunately i couldnt take pictures inside so I wont be able to show u guys. However, it was kinda shocking for me when the elevator door open and my eyes are greeted by dozens of fully naked fair korean women walking all over. I was laughing and told hyun that i felt as if I step into the world of a porn set, without the act of course. Shocker! I was quite lost for the initial minutes....since there wasnt any english signs and i had to wander around, figuring my way and watch how the locals did it... Its a completely different experience from visiting the public baths and hotspring in Japan. Just uniquely different but I had fun. There was open area where everyone can just lie down, watch some TV [big screen], and buy snack from teh store there. After trying out the various sand, kiln room, traditional korean hot charcoal sauna and steam, plus the ice room, I was all ready for the body scrub, kinda like the turkey baths if u know what i mean... my skin never felt cleaner and smoother.... :P By the way, I did the funny towel head wrap with the 2 buns on each side thingie too. Very few koreans did it in real life, unlike what i saw in the drama.
This little korean baby girl was soo cute, i was picking out my icecream and she started to follow me all over, and ever stealing mouthful of icecream from mine! I had to carry her all over hunting for her dad...it was quite funny since i dont speak korean and she doesnt seem to care. She didnt seem to mind strangers at all. I think it was the icecream lure.... haaa
Food wise, I am loving it. My korean friend was kinda surprised at how I took in all the food with gusto and actually enjoying it. Strange it may sound but some of the flavor actually tasted like my mum's cooking...eg like the aged old kimchee spicy soup, it actually tasted like my mum's sezchuan spicy soup!!! I love the spicy hot pot too. Yummy!!!
Ok... i digress. I couldnt help but wanna talk about my current seoul trip alittle. The pictures will come later when i get back...meanwhile....No drama updates still... till next week!
Tomorrow..everland it is!
