The Weekend

Mel and I had a great weekend. We pretty much stayed close to home and checked out two places in Seoul. We are also feeling more at home in our apartment.

Insadong is the first place we explored. It is a cool old neighborhood with tons of artsy shops, teahouses, ceramics, antiques (which are quite old here) and great restaurants. We ate some wonderful Italian and bought some beautiful tea cups. I also picked out two gorgeous pairs of earrings for Melanie:)

The second place we visited was Youngsan. The most overwhelmed I have ever been in my entire life. The place is absolutely crazy! What is it? The biggest electronics market in the world. 14 buildings with 4-6 floors each packed with thousands on independent vendors and tens of thousands of people. Whole floors of cell phones, laptops, screens, boards, memory, drives, etc... Totally amazing! We managed to get deals on an external DVD burner, DVD player and CD player. We were there for less than two hours and it felt like a day.

Other interesting news: I am sick, but feeling better. "Airborne" is great stuff and I am totally happy we brought it from the states. I took it for a day and it definitely helped. Mom-please send more. Also, a man was killed in a hit and run right outside of work on Friday. The drivers here are not so good.
