Leeum Museum Spiders

I like the spiders outside Leeum. They are cool.

Spam mmmmm

If there was a list called "Shit Koreans like" spam would def be in the top 5. If you don't know why, it's a long story. Spam is a legit meat here and it's not because we still ghetto or anything.

I like how that gift box of spams in the picture above cost the equivalent of $40. These were packaged for special Korean thanksgiving gift sets. $40 worth of spam sounds like IDK....THE WORST GIFT EVER.

For that money they should really invest some prosciutto or something.

Thats some fancy Grape Soda

Passion 5 Bakery's take on grape soda. Grape sorbet and soda with grapes and grape syrup. It's pretty amazing.

Poop Cakes

I love the Poop Cakes at Insadong.

So ok these Poop cakes are a play on a common snack here called Boonguhbang (fish cakes). Fish cake is also a misnomer. It is a sweet pastry outside with sweet red bean on the inside shaped like a fish. The ones in Insadong are shaped like poop. Is it weird that I think this is cute?

I actually don't find Boonguhbang as much as I thought I would here which makes me sad. My roommate says that the current President has been cracking down on street vendors which sucks. I am not sure if this is true because I do see chestnuts, roasted corn, egg breads, and other goodies a lot. Just not the fish cakes :-(

Hello Kitty Cafe

This is Hello Kitty Cafe in Hongdae. It was cute as hell. You can also eat Hello Kitty's head made out of cake (see below).

Do you see me?

Seoul Tower lets you put up "Love Tiles". I am wondering how long they leave them up before they tear them down. I better be able to find mine when I go back!
