Hello Kimchi

I'm laughing right now because a new Mexican restaurant just opened in Haeundae and they named it "Hello Kimchi". Apparently they specialize in burritos? Go figure.

It's Saturday morning, the sun is shining, and I just got paid: the outlook is good. I'm currently eating half an avocado with garlic kimchi (strange but delicious combo) and watching a random Keanu Reeves movie on tv - it's my only English option.

This afternoon I plan to wander around a few new areas of Haeundae. Whenever I travel or move somewhere new, one of my favourite things to do is run outside. An outdoor jog a few times a week teaches you so much about the city. I make a point of varying my route each time, to learn new areas and make a few mental notes about the places I want to further explore on the weekends.

Last week I came across a really cool row of art shops in Jaesong-dong, about 20 minutes Northwest of my apartment. They're owned by a crew of little old Korean men who are always toiling away indoors, intently focused on their work, oblivious to the hustle and bustle of the busy streets outside. I peered inside a few of the windows the other night after closing, the paintings and pottery look so cool that I just have to go back to see them up close. Plus, I can now say "How much is this?" in Korean, in case something catches my eye.

Alright, my Keanu movie just ended, that's my cue to get a move on. I will let you know how my art trip goes.

Smile, it's the weekend!!!
