Korea Day 1

Woke up super early to catch the flight >.<
Arrived in Seoul @ 12pm
Korea was cold!!!!! -10C. Wasn't really expecting that.

We got a flight & hotel package, so there was a tour guide who took us to our hotel on a bus ride.
On bus, she just kept on talking about Korean BBQ, and B.B. Cream.
Everyone on the bus seems to be very interested in those 2 topics.
We laughed at "B.B. cream", whenever the tour guide mentioned about it. We had no idea what it was, but the name was funny.

First meal in Korea: Myeongdong Gyoza recommanded by Alex

Our meal came with kimchi.
I have never ever had kimchi before because I am bad with spicy food.
But since I was in Korea, I decided to give it a try.
God... it was SOOOO spicy! It had a very strong flavor to it too.
Afterwords, my breath smells of kimchi.
I brushed my teeth and chew gums, but nothing takes away that smell!
My kimchi breath continued to last till the next afternoon.

Later, we went to see NANTA performance.
The artist try to make music out of random objects such as pots, knifes, kitchen utensils.
The performance was also very funny too, I had a good laugh.

After the performance, we just walked around the Myeongdong area.
There were tons of cosmetic stores and designer shops.
There were 2-3 same shops with the same block too. And cosmetic shops called "Skin Food" and "The Face Shop".
I found the area very similar to Taipei. Especially with the night market and the food stands along the street.
