you have no idea what a monumental moment this is! j.crew's online website has always been restricted in korea since i can remember. i'd be utterly disappointed every time i'd try to log on. but guess what? it finally works!!! and what luck! everything on sale is an extra 30% off! this could be very very very bad for my wallet. uh oh ....
2. hodduk (korean sweet hotcake)
i just found the most amazing hodduk stand in all of seoul after 2 hours of non-stop searching for it. the place we had it from is called tul-bo-nae hodduk. it's pretty famous in seoul and people actually wait in line for it. it's in insa-dong and it's amazing! each hodduk is about 250 calories. i had 2. i was happy. i wanted more. i practiced some self control.
in case you guys don't know what a hodduk is ...
brown sugar mixture filled hotcake that's deep or pan fried in oil.note: this is not the hodduk i had. mine looked (and was) 100x better. no doubt.
3. peanut butter
i don't really feel like this needs an explanation but apparently eating spoonfuls of just peanut butter is considered weird to korean people. they also have never eaten peanut butter on apples or celery. i'm so misunderstood here.

4. friends
friends from america. friends from korea. any and all friends. they are the best. they are awesome. they are especially awesome when you wake up one morning after passing out like a zombie and realize that you were supposed to be at work an hour ago. on top of being late to work it turns out that you were solely responsible for making a bunch of copies and getting things ready for a 10 am meeting. you start freaking out, running around with half a pair of pants on, toothbrush hanging out of your mouth, getting ready, and you call your friend at work and she agrees, without a single moan or groan, to get everything ready for you. friends are awesome. end of story.
5. my soon to arrive sam edelman zoe boots and sister (shoes first, sister second)!
i just ordered these bad boys off the internet and got them at a pretty decent price. i've been eye-ing these shoes since last year and i can't wait for my sister to come in a couple weeks with them and a ton of other stuff for me! yay! =)
ooo ok, so this is how you give me a heads up.. you biatch.. i already have a crap ton of extra stuff i have to take to korea for you & other family... hahaha
ReplyDeleteI thought you ordered these last year?
ReplyDeleteFYI in case you want the real thing, there's a pair of 37's & 37.5's on ebay right now- for $4k!
ReplyDeleteare you actually a dominatrix and not an architect?
ReplyDeletejohn, i totally saw those on ebay! that's actually why i ended up getting these sam edelman's. i saw those, saw it was 3000 dollars, realized i'll never get the real ones, and decided it was time to just get the knock offs.
ReplyDeleteThem boots look like they have a little too much going on. And you know I know my boots.
