Annyeonghaseyo!

If you don't already know, Seoul is one of my favourite cities of all time!!!

Okay, I know every other city is my favourite city...

How about favourite Asian city?

I only have three!

Tokyo, Hong Kong and Seoul :D

I LOVE the food, language (or hearing them converse), girls, dramas, shopping.....is that enough reasons?

And of course, my favourite Sau is there!!

I'm really, really, really x1000000 hoping for good news 

that somebody will give me their Seoul flight next month.

I need some spicy rice cake, bibimbap, bbq pork, strawberry shortcake, pancake and soy bean paste soup..........omggggggg.

I also need to buy more shampoo.

Please, please, PLEASE take my flight!

I was craving for bibimbap and this was pretty good!

I would love a bowl now.

Then we went for a haircut at Juno Hair!

Before I proceed, a little about the salon since I always get questions about it!

I always go to Juno Hair in Myeong Dong for haircuts whenever I'm in Seoul.

So far, I've did a perm and treatment with them, had a couple of haircuts 

and my hair ALWAYS looks amazing when I step out of the salon!

On our holiday to Seoul last year, H and I went for a haircut there 

and he's STILL singing praises of the cut.

Honestly, I cannot remember all my hairdressers' names but they're all skillful.

My most recent hairdresser was reallyyyyyyy handsome, 

even Sau was checking him out hehehehe haha!

Okay, prices.

Perms are expensive there.

The one I did last year was approximately 200,000won but it was so pretty and natural looking!

Haircuts are cheap though!

It's only 20,000won regardless of length, I think.

I don't know the address of the salon but from what I know, 

there are three Juno Hair salons in Myeong Dong alone.

I only visit the one next to the Adidas store,

just take the lift up to the 3rd level!

I loveeeeeee how they blow my hair!

It's like freaking messy yet it looks nice somehow.

I don't know why.

We went to my favourite BBQ restaurant at Myeong Dong for dinner after that!

Looking more and more Korean now

Magic potion.

As usual, we went to one of the many cafes dotting Myeong Dong for desserts.
This cafe specialises in tea and everything was infused with tea.
We stayed all the way till closing time and headed our separate ways
'cause we both had early morning flights to catch the next day. :/

Wish I had more time in Seoul.

Rolly Polly Wolly

I didn't want to spend too much time shopping in San Francisco ('cause I've nothing to buy and I didn't want to make impulse purchases) so I suggested lunch to a few colleagues at Fisherman's Wharf.

Danny brought us for clam chowder!

 I've never had a bowl of clam shower to myself before, 

always a spoonful and decided it was enough 'cause I didn't like it.

But this was so good! 

The sourdough went perfectly with the soup and I was craving for another bowl when I finished!

We strolled around Pier 39 before heading for the second part of our lunch ;)

 That tiny island you see is Alcatraz!

 The sea lions stink.

Our second part to lunch was crabs!

Crab was huge and only US$20 but nothing like our chilli crabs.

Shared among the three of us and we were stuffed!

The most flamboyant car ever spotted in the city!

 Back in Seoul, Saufung brought me to this Korean restaurant in Hongdae 

which sells home cooked kinda food but we arrived too late, 

the restaurant was closing so the food just kept coming and coming... 

We had like 10 courses or something more. 

It was crazy but some of the dishes were yummy!

No pictures though.

As usual, we shifted to a cafe after dinner for desserts!

I was craving strawberry shortcake and there was a cafe just a few doors down selling it!

 Soooo good and not sweet!

A hot chocolate is essential to fight the cold outside

Seoul Tower from my room.

Don't be deceived by the sunshine, it was freezinggggg!

Lunch with my colleagues before shopping in Myeong Dong!

Gosh I miss the saba fish, the starters, the bean paste soup, the BBQ pork and even the rice...

I have a lot of cravings whenever I'm in Seoul haha 

and this time round it was the spicy rice cake with fish cake!

This looks SO YUMMY now that I'm looking at it again.

Sau is really the BEST host ever!

She searches for places to bring me to and satisfies all my cravings!

We each ordered this tasty rice with seaweed as a side 

 This was a drink mixed with South Korean oranges and soju.

A really delightful sweet drink 'cause we couldn't taste the alcohol at all!

I didn't know there was a difference between South Korean oranges and normal oranges 

till I saw it that night.

South Korean oranges have a hump!

Currently at my 2nd home, London, now and it's snowing!

Normally I hate snow 'cause it wets my hair and the floor's slippery, blahblahblah.

But it's really so pretty, so magical.

And being in zero degree Celsius feels so comfortable after having gone through the -20dc torture in Seoul.
