Buses
Lacey curtains and surly drivers that can be surprisingly helpful - get on first and watch the locals avoid sitting next to you. Watch out for the heaters!

Cars
In the way, especially the idiots who think it’s impressive to drive SUV’s around Seoul…guess what? It’s really f’in not!

Scooters
Everywhere - scary!!!

Subway
Great fun, once you get the flow of it. The current is fast and sometimes confusing, but it always takes you where you want to go.

Bikes
Interesting to see old people dressed in blazers, no helmet, riding at night…in icy conditions.

Beverages
Coffee -I’m a snob when it comes to steamy black liquid (no, not that liquid, the other liquid). Nescafe? Really? Okay whatever turns your crank.

Tea - Not as abundant as I had expected except for some citron tea.

Juice - Grape - yuck!, Orange - meh… Apple - yuck!

Soju - How can something look so innocent and yet be out to kill you? Or, at least make you act like a fool? Ohhh soju, I love you, yes it’s true (heart).

Beer - Haven’t had enough to really have an opinion to know how I truely feel about K-beer. Hite is okay, just add some soju.

Kids

Disgustingly cute - I mean really guys can y’all just cut it out. I’ve wanted to take about ten of ém back with me already…even though they’re whinny and bratty like all kids, they all just look like baby kays

Old Peeps

Blatant starers, which is totally rad. I mean even the kids lose interest within 30 seconds - but not the oldies. They are dedicated. I’ve wanted to adopt about three sets of grandparents - so curious and sweet!

Everyone Else

Generous, stern, and highly confusing. Treatment between the sexes is very different, also age. Even if you are only a couple years apart there is a very marked difference in terms of respect. Sexism - Ageism… love or hate doesn’t really matter, just get the f over it and enjoy the wonderful, giving and crazy people all around you!

K-pop

Like everything that’s addictive, so BAD for you. Watch out when visiting here, before you know it you will be humming Rain’s latest mega hit to yourself or doing a Wonder Girls dance in line at the grocery store.

Noraebang

AWESOME  - no other way to describe the little karaoke rooms they have here - just plain ole AWESOME!!!!

Movie Theaters

How I love asian Movie T. with their arcades and huge lobbies. They take it to another level here - it’s assigned seating, which is sweet. Oh and so is the Caramel Popcorn mmmm sweeeet

Restaurants

There’s no point. I won’t eat meat/fish and they won’t accept that. Ever.

Favorites/survival foods

Kuul - oh lil” oranges how I love you soooo

Zek Crackers - kept me alive on bus rides

Paris Baguette - kept me alive in Seoul
