Today I had the first serious working day but thankfully, no formal dinner in
the evening, so I was able to prowl on my own. I had received a request from my
daughter to buy her some particular Korean nail polish and lipstick, so
following her instructions (all research on the web, she has never been here),
I took the metro to one of Seoul's main shopping districts, Myeondong. On the
way, I looked at my fellow passengers in the metro, and this old lady was quite
uninhibited about taking off her shoes and stretching her legs. In fact, I have
noticed this during my travels in East Asia (Japan, Taiwan and now Korea) that
the old people are sometimes just as delinquent as the young ;-)

Once in Myeondong, I bought the cosmetics my daughter wanted. How did I know
exactly what to buy? She had sent me pictures and I had them with me on my
iPad, so all I had to do was to walk into the shop and show them what my
daughter on the other side of the world wanted. Afterwards, it was dinner time,
and today I decided to go posh and actually eat indoors, spending the grand sum
of 10000 won (7 Euro) on a delicious meal prepared in front of me.
This is what it looks like (one of the neighbouring tables):

And this is what it looks like, ready to eat:

Just like yesterday's street food, this was delicious, and also very filling
(not in the picture is a buffet of salads that was included in the deal).
Tomorrow I will try to post images that do not involve the metro or food.
Cheers,
Nathan
