It is impossible for me to adequately sum up my trip to Seoul when I have so many emotions crowding my heart. Let’s just say I did not want to leave. Perhaps that in and of itself, sums it up.

Under THAT Umbrella…eh, eh, eh
You know me, in anticipation of precipitation
Stack chips for the rainy day…
~Rhianna (Umbrella)
I never cease to amaze myself with the predicaments I often find myself in when going about my business of trying to find, obtain or do something, and the ensuing (and often amusing) adventures that invariably follow as a result. The tale of this umbrella is no exception.
K-Poppin’
If I had my K-drama moment the other day at the Coex Mall and the Bongeunsa Temple, then I had a bit of a K-Pop situation today when I hunted down (in the rain) S.M. Entertainment, JYP and Cube. Let me get this out of the way first, I did not see any K-pop stars in the flesh. I saw some reasonable facsimiles thereof.
Coex, K-Drama and Jellyfish
Today, I visited Samseong-dong, a vibrant and upscale area of Gangnam-du. I had no real plan for the day. Remember, I adopted ‘the plan is there is no plan’ motto while traveling in Seoul a few days ago.
Myeong dong-alicious!
The motto for Myeong dong should be “Go Big or Go Home!” I had read that Myeong dong was a shopper’s paradise. Absolutely, one hundred percent correct. And for this rainy Sunday evening, it was on and poppin’ throughout the streets of Myeong dong!
Slowly, Seoul….Slowly
Ok, I admit that I have been a little out of whack since July 10 and I admit that I probably should be going gung ho here, here in Seoul lapping up all the sights and sounds. I am, albeit at a slower pace. I knew when I planned this trip that I was picking the time of the year where it most probably rains the most – but is kind of fitting for the task that was hand, right?
The Day Ji Hoon Got Discharged
Sergeant Jeung Ji Hoon’s duty is complete. He can put the last 21 months behind him and get back to doing what he does best. Oh wait, he does a few things pretty well, come to think of it! Well, just do anything but be soldier in the ROK Army. He has done that pretty well and can now just file it away as something else he has accomplished and accomplished successfully. That will suffice for me!
Seoul – The Second Chapter
As I get ready to say good-bye to Insadong, I am beginning to mentally and emotionally prepare for the second chapter of my Seoul-ful adventure.
A Whole “Lotte” of Spectacular
Really, I did have a plan today. But, as has been the case, I got side-tracked. For this vacation, I have now adopted the motto “the plan is that there is no plan”…well, except for July 10th as there is definitely a plan for THAT day!
Street Sounds & Heart-shaped Rice
Today I actually eased into the day slowly trying to get my footing in this new time zone. I am finally feeling acclimated. I am definitely becoming a K-Metro pro but have to say that this is perhaps the easiest public transportation situation ever. And the Metro stations are like little villages all unto themselves. You never know what you will find. I got duly sidetracked today by a Nature Republic store at the Express Bus Terminal stop. Skin care is a big deal here and admittedly I would have never known about this company had Rain not lent himself to advertise for them. Take a moment and sigh with me…..
Really though, I was on a mission to find more vegan food.
