A place in the middle of Seoul (near Jong-ro). I don’t remember this place when I was growing up near there. We happened to be there when the guards were out wearing their traditional outfits.
A beautification project that was the brainchild of the current president Lee Myung Bak (then the mayor of Seoul). I paid a visit to where I used to live and found this. I couldn’t recognize the place because of all the new buildings and streets.
Being with Joanne also means going shopping. This shop is called “10 Corso Como” and is located in the trendiest district of Seoul. I saw a pair of fancy looking sneakers with a price tag of over $500; never have I seen such expensive sneakers! As you can see, I look thrilled to be in the shop; at least there were seats. Fortunately, we didn’t buy anything there, but had a great Italian lunch.
Korean dinner “jeong shik”. Instead of bringing dishes on a tray, this restaurant had the fully loaded table brought over on wheels and slid it right on top of an empty table. Never seen dishes brought out that way before and that sure saved a lot of time with all those dishes.
Restaurant- row near Mt. Namhan very close to Seoul. They specialize in whole chicken stew stuffed with ginseng and herbs. Imagine, Joanne bringing all those vitamins, just in case we got malnourished. I haven’t taken a single pill yet. They will be the first ones to be discarded to lighten our luggage load even more.

Hey, I haven't been shopping ( our luggage reduction project is an ongoing one)! We were at the shop "10 corso como" to meet up with our friend Jas at his recommendation. He's an architect friend from LA, who came to check up on the Forever 21 store. The lunch@10corso come was fabulous; I will be looking forward to finding more branches in other countries; not to shop but to EAT!
