A week's review of Korea

I think this has been the longest week of my life! Between all the jet lag and adventuring around Korea we were more than ready for a lazy Sunday! Earlier in the week I said how Zak and I discovered the great shopping mall in the Pyeongtaek metro station, but failed to mention the awesome pizza we had at the Pizza Hut here in Korea. They have an American menu and a Korean menu, and the pizza's can get a little crazy! (Im talkin' sweet potatoes crazy) So we went kind of low key and ordered their version of a Hawaiian Pizza, which comes with awesome cheesy fondue bites as crust! You rip off these sweet potato and cheese filled bites and dip them into a bowl of cheese fondue.... they are delicious! Here is a picture so you can get an idea of what I am describing:

Later in the week we decided to make a trip into Seoul, well Yongsan actually but we were basically in Seoul.  We visited the tallest mall I had ever been to, I think it was about 8 stories tall. We rode an express train which only took about 45 minutes, as opposed to taking the metro which would have taken us well over 2 hours because of all the stops. It is 4,500 won (equivalent to about $4) to ride the express train into Seoul, so it is well worth it! Here I am on my first train ride!

And this one is of me in the center of the mall where it is all outdoors, it kind of looks like I am on a ship:

We picked up a few things at the mall, and I quickly realized that I don't fit in most Korean clothing.. due to the hips my mother blessed me with! lol But we had fun nonetheless and also ate some grrrrrrrrreat sushi! I still can't get over how inexpensive food is here.

On to other things- Korea has a store called "Skin Food" meaning food for your skin, lotions, face wash, make up, etc. Zak and I decided to pick up some face masks to see what all the hype was about, and here is my detailed review/demonstration... enjoy!



Haha, pretty crazy huh? And while my skin did feel rehydrated by the "Alaskan glacier water" that is supposedly in this product, I don't think I will be buying it again because it felt as though I had a jellyfish on my face.

Yesterday we were invited to go to Zak's co-worker, Brett's home to have dinner and go out. Brett and his wife Kathy are great, and we also met up with another one of Zak's co-workers named Danny. After munching on some turkey and having a few pre-game beers we headed out for our first night on the town! Korean clubs/bars are a bit different than American bars but are still just as much fun! The main beer here which is served in all bars is called "OB" and tastes like Miller Lite to me. And all bars have Soju mixed with different flavors depending on where you are. We tried just about every flavor last night and are paying for it today! Here is a picture of Zak breakin' it down on the dance floor:

And me enjoying some Soju Slush! (It is VERY humid in Korea so please excuse my mop of hair going every direction)

Hope everyone is having a great weekend, much love to you all xxx
