Today I went to Itaewon, the foreigner area of Seoul, with Pam. Here almost everyone who sells something speaks English. I bought two beautiful Korean masks representing a woman and a man. They'll be decorating my walls here and I'll be bringing them back home. I also bought some Soju drinking glasses, the Korean's official 90% alcohol drink, to be able to share soju with my friends. Each glass has a drawing of a Korean mask on it.While we were waiting at a subway station, I bought a small bag of 10 Koreen walnut cakes. They are about the size of timbits. When looked in the bag I was surprised to see that each one was individually wrapped...Now this really does not come as a surprise; it simply confirms the Koreans obsession with details and perfection.
I also saw my first sqwatting toilets. I didn't "officially" try it since there was pee all around it, but I will eventually use one and when I do, I'll let you know about it...Like when I'll have my first grilled silkworm, full of nutriments and apparently crunchy, eating experience.
