Get Back to Work

With the holiday season finally being behind us, I can start looking forward to the actual Korean Holiday Season, the Lunar New Year, at the end of January. For that, we get an entire week off - and i'm booked to go to Hong Kong, from the 27th to the 31st of January. Something to look forward to!

As far as our semi-holiday this weekend, the past four days have been pretty decent ones. I received my first Korean hair-cut on Friday, and now resemble someone out of a music-video from the 80s. It's not unpopular over here, though - this is the 'Medium' hair-cut, from the 'Men's Beauty Shop' menu. That's right, they bring you a menu to look at, where you can pick which hair-style you'd like to have. No wonder everyone's hair pretty-much looks the same. We'll see how it grows out.

Saturday was spent relaxing, and Sunday I had lunch with a friend around Hongik University. It's a fairly popular district of Seoul called Hongdae (it's mostly popular for its Night Life), but it also happens to be the home of a famous Spaghetti restaurant, where there was a wait of over an hour and a half (at 1:30 in the afternoon). Having had a late breakfast, I sucked it up, and used the opportunity to snap a few pictures.

My favourite is a shop called 'Yes', that had an awesomely funny dialogue regarding underwear (pictured on the right). If you're too lazy to click on it, here's the dialogue:

'Hey, june!! Didn't you see my panty and brassiere?
Well, is that yours? No!
How about this one? It's mine!!
My underwear!!
Why don't go to yes?
Let's go to Yes!!'

hahaha.. Oh, Korea.

Hope everyone had a good break; enjoy getting back to school/work.
Cheers!
