Post-Jjimjjilbang Adventures

After leaving the jjimjjilbang, I was totally traumatized, and starving. Jasmin, Jazmin and I headed for a buffet in Chilgok, which was quite nice. I little expensive, but delicious, and highly entertaining. (We like to play with our food.)

This little guy had a piece needing to be removed, then you have to suck him out of his shell. I couldn't partake. (He was "looking" at me.)


We couldn't figure out a name for this thing, but we laughed so hard we cried trying. (If you know what it is, please email me!)


Even worse looking when you open her up... LOL!!!


Next, we found an accessories store that had hundreds of fun things...

Tons of hair stuff...






Even blue balls! (for your hair)


And a traditional-looking bobble-head thing.

Super Cool Products 1

Everything in Korea is cute. I'm not just saying that because I'm in a new and different culture. I guess the proper way to say that would be that everything in Korea is "cute". People of all ages wear socks with cute pictures on them, shirts with cartoon logos, and use random household products with smiley faces or teddy bears on them. Sometimes it's cool, sometimes it's annoying. For instance, I enjoy seeing my spatula smiling back at me, and not so much the teddy bears on my soap dish. Here are a few examples of some things I enjoy. More to come.

Sushi erasers. (Cost=2,000 won)


A touch light that looks like the mushrooms in the Super Mario Brothers games. Love it! (Cost=2,000 won)


Nothing like someone smiling at you while you're doing dreaded housework! (Cost=1,000 won)


And, of course, nothing is better than finding a crazy product that can make you laugh out loud in the middle of a store. This little guy did just that. He's reading a newspaper. In Russian. (???)


While sitting on a toilet.


And he nods his head when the lights come on! He's solar powered!

(Cost=Priceless.)
