Japanese men......ugliest guys ever!

I just finished watching the Asian cup game between Korean and Japan and decided that Japanese men are the ugliest people ever! They all had these stupid haircuts. Korea won on penalties with Woonjae (my favourite Korean player ever!) saving the fifth penalty.

Driving in Seoul!

This Wednesday I was 'sick'. We decided that because of this illness it was time for me to try driving a car in Seoul. Although it wasn't just a car, it was the biggest SUV in the history of mankind!! Plus Hyun Young's father didn't know I was borrowing his car!! At first it was the scariest thing ever but after twenty minutes it felt just like driving at home, just with an extra 10 million people around me!

Is someone scared?

No country driving for us!
It's all good after 20 minutes

Yesterday, an amazing idea hit me. Watford Buns (known as Chelsea buns to the rest of the world!).

This week we're off to Jeju-do for some relaxing. Yay beaches and palm trees!

Cornwall comes to Korea

I got inspired to cook on Sunday. Not sure why, but I thought making Cornish pasties would be a good idea. They actually turned out fairly well, even though I couldn't get the ingredients to make the perfect pastry. It was too buttery! It still went down well with Miss Korea though....
Bill and Ashley arrived last week for a few days on their tour of Asia. Laziest people ever. Their days went a little like this:

Wake up at 2pm
Go to Seoul at 4pm
Come back at 5pm
Sleep
Eat
Sleep

Great way to spend a vacation according to them! At least we had fun at the Noraebang. Hyun Young had a few friends out so we had a nice group of people.

We're going to be rich!

Chicken on a stick. From Korea to Cornwall, coming Fall 2008!

We've decided that there is no fast food better than the chicken on a stick that we can buy at street stalls in Seoul. It either comes plain or in a spicy sauce. It would be great as a snack, or even better late at night after drinking.

This is what will put my kids through college!

Typically sold from the back of a rebuilt van, it costs only 1,000won (55 pence) and definitely tastes like a little piece of heaven!!!
My research so far has all come up good, so possibly in a year there could be Korean chicken sold all the way back in sunny England. (speaking of which, we have the biggest storm of the year so far going on, should I have the computer on?)

The crazy things Koreans say...

Yesterday Hyun Young asked me what my blood type was. I didn't know and she was shocked. She then explained that your personality depends on your blood type. Apparently you even have to put in on application forms in Korea as companies will check you are the right blood type.
I'm not sure who makes up these myths but Korea makes me laugh so much sometimes!

I am now able to use chopsticks with my left hand just as well as with my right hand. I think that has just made me 10% more Korean!

Yesterday I got some New Balance running shoes. My others were just about dead so I splashed out on a fancy new pair. Without realising it, I also managed to buy a matching pair of running socks yesterday! I tried the new shoes today and it was the nicest run ever. My feet felt like I was running on a soft carpet! The rest of today is going to be devoted to my new Korean picture dictionary. I decided that I'm lacking a bit in vocab so I have to rectify this. This evenings topic is 'events in a lifetime' e.g. birth,graduation, death, etc.
