Blue makes it less grey
Wandering around Myeongdong and a trip to the Shinsegae foodcourt
My room has a view. The surprise was the view was of blue sky. I thought the grey skies would be a permanent feature. Wrong. I thought it would be a few days of typing this before I started talking mainly about the weather, also wrong, disappointing. I could talk about how tired I am? Still no sleep. That is also boring so lets move on.
Tonight I stayed local, looked at neon lights, had dinner in a department store and now I am ready for bed.
Korea is nicer looking at night, less grey, very colorful.
Tomorrow is forecast to be cold buy sunny. I think I will go hiking, shocking I know.
After dinner I went to the local 24 hour mini supermarket to buy water, you cant drink the tap water here. Anyway, I think they guy tried to rip me off, for the grand sum of about 50 cents. Before I purchased I was looking closely at the coins I already had because I havent memorised whats what. I didnt have enough coins and paid with a note. When I counted my change and pointed at the amount showing on the screen he immediately gave me the rest of my change, but he would not look me in the face. He was a little too fast at not checking anything and handing me the rest of my change for my liking. Should I go back and strangle the guy? Should I go back and take his photo and shame all of Korea by putting it on the internet for my millions of readers? Should I shut up and go to bed now?
Brilliant clear blue sky! I celebrated by taking photos of random buildings. This part of Seoul is not where the nice modern buildings are, that is over in Gangnam. I will be staying in Gangnam next week after returning from Daejeon, taking photos of shiny buildings. Thats a nice sunstar on the right though!
Just a random street in the direction I was walking.
This building mural is so blue it makes the street blue. Actually I think my camera made everything blue, I dont know, maybe everything just looks blue to me now. What I do know is that it says Seoul Animation Center and they painted an unanimated mural. They should have painted an animated one.
Shinsegae is the biggest nicest department store. I knew I would get dinner from there when I saw it, and I did. It spans many buildings, you cannot really tell how big it is from this angle.
My dinner was a curry of sorts, with Korean accoutrements. I ordered the house special, which means its the one they have the highest profit margin on. It contained tofu, eggplant and macaroni and cheese and a quite spicy curry sauce. Small serve, quite pricey! Thats what you get for eating at Shinsegae. This photo looks like it was taken with a flash. My camera does not have a flash, weird. I hate flash photography. Today my sentences are very short.
A random lit up building, might be an art gallery.
And as a final photo for the evening, the main food cart street in Myeongdong, at night. It gets dark here later than I thought, its still kind of light at 7:00pm. Very unexpected. Now, bed time.
