ATTENTION: I am trying to get in touch with a blog reader by the name of Darren (is that your name?) who collects Coke bottles & cans. I have a Korean coke bottle that I brought back from Seoul, as promised. I have lost your email address. Can you contact me soon before my 16-year old son starts drinking it? Thanks

Seoul Winter 2011- First Day

Brrrrrr.....ccccoooolllldddd... The blast of icy cold winter wind hit our faces as soon as we stepped out into Incheon's welcoming greet. But we were prepared this time, becuase we heard that winter will be extremely cold this year in Korea. No snow seen yet though.
I lost my handy-dandy 2012 Cath Kidston diary with all the important stuff at Dongdaemun. THAT was the highlight of my first day.
We also found out that our favourite Mr Kebab Store has closed down ㅜ.ㅜ so Hongdae-ites can only get their Kebab from the Other Kebab-on-wheels Turkish ajosshi on Fri, Sat& Sunday evenings at the entrance of the Hongdae Station.
Here are snapshots from Day 1:
The Korean Immigration actually provide
reading glasses to aid in filling up forms

A lifesaver in this
sub-zero winter night (and day)

New boots for Iman and Me
55000 won each
My chocolate brownie
chilling outside Mister Donut
– literally and figuratively “chilling”
Street stalls in abundance.
Kalau tak kuat iman,
habis semua kita makan!
I used to pity those mascots
underneath the unbearably
hot costumes. But in this winter
weather, I wish I could be in
those warm,silly costumes
