I had received a request from my daughter to buy her some particular Korean nail polish and lipstick, so following her instructions (all research on the web, she has never been here), I took the metro to one of Seoul's main shopping districts, Myeondong. On the way, I looked at my fellow passengers in the metro, and this old lady was quite uninhibited about taking off her shoes and stretching her legs. In fact, I have noticed this during my travels in East Asia (Japan, Taiwan and now Korea) that the old people are sometimes just as delinquent as the young ;-) http://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/4253606_kdsZ6C#!i=2945971913&k=rxNg5Kv&lb=1&s=O Once in Myeondong, I bought the cosmetics my daughter wanted. How did I know exactly what to buy? She had sent me pictures and I had them with me on my iPad, so all I had to do was to walk into the shop and show them what my daughter on the other side of the world wanted. Afterwards, it was dinner time, and today I decided to go posh and actually eat indoors, spending the grand sum of 10000 won (7 Euro) on a delicious meal prepared in front of me. This is what it looks like (one of the neighbouring tables): http://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/4253606_kdsZ6C#!i=2945972063&k=KP4TWnj&lb=1&s=O And this is what it looks like, ready to eat: http://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/4253606_kdsZ6C#!i=2945972234&k=TH3Vr6s&lb=1&s=O Just like yesterday's street food, this was delicious, and also very filling (not in the picture is a buffet of salads that was included in the deal). Tomorrow I will try to post images that do not involve the metro or food.
