Good afternoon Seoul, it's lovely to see you too. I found some more fun things on my walk today, including a cool stair set and funny NO SMOKING PAST THIS LINE strips painted across various areas, usually in front of subway entrances. So cool. Seeing as I hate smoking I wish we had some of those around CA. I found a Papa John's, TGI Fridays, and California Pizza Kitchen today! I'm sorely tempted to go try the CPK to see if they make their pizzas the same. I've heard they do pizza up here; none of the sausage and pepperoni business, its like fancy, yummy stuff on there!
Today I wanted to both return the I AM documentary I mistakenly purchased and do a little shopping near Sinnonhyeon Station, along Gangnamdaelo (a big street). I wanted to go back to Artbox, which is essentially sugar, spice, and everything nice made tangible. It's the cutesy-est, girliest, most adorably awesome store ever. It even has its own little row of Jelly Belly bean dispensers so you can buy jelly beans if you want. I bought a mini humidifier I'd been eyeing since Dajeong took me here the other day. It's adorable and will be perfect since its so compact. Maybe it'll help with my allergies.
On the walk home I stopped by what was termed and labeled a Pharmacy on the sign outside. However, this was not a pharmacy as we know it (CVS, Walgreens, etc), but one that looked like it went to Sephora boot camp and came out all pretty, polished, and shiny. I also stopped by a SkinFood, which I've been dying to go to for years now. Their products are supposed to be very good, and very high quality. I've been needing a toner so I browsed around for awhile and landed on the Avocado Rich Toner. It smelled WONDERFUL and was reasonably priced at 11,000 won. All the prices I've found it for online have been around $20 or higher, while this was less than $10!
On the way home I stopped by another media pole and played around with it. I found a button that would change it to English so I could understand it. So much fun :) I felt like a little kid playing with it, although slightly self-concious because people are constantly walking behind me lol.
