This post is gonna be about a bunch of kind of mismatched experiences, but it's what I did, so gotta talk about it!
The first place I want to tell you guys about is a sandwich shop right in front of my dorm building called Lord Sandwich. Bread in Korea is not....like bread as we know it in the States. A lot of time it is kind of puffy, pasty, or airy and tasteless white bread. This place, according to a friend who previously studied here, is where you go when you start missing real, crispy, hearty, bread. It did not disappoint in that aspect. When you go on, there is a menu board right by the door. You order and pay and they give you a number. You go upstairs to find a table and they bring you the food when it's ready. I ordered a cheese sandwich, which cost about 9,000KRW. This place is definitely expensive and they only serve you a small side salad with the sandwich, but the sandwiches themselves are delicious. The walls are decorated with baroque-era portraits and they play classical music. So classy. So Lord Sandwich.
This blog entry doesn't really have a linear sequence because I can't recall exactly what I did when on this day, so I'm just going to talk about specific places I went. The next place is a restaurant called 딸기골, or Strawberry Town. Strawberry Town is a restaurant I've actually been to like 6 times since I've been here, but it's an essential for students living in International House or SK Global because it's super cheap, tasty, and right by the school. I can eat a hearty dinner there for about 4,000KRW.
The same night we went to Strawberry Town, Kelsi, Lulu and I attempted to see VIXX at a fan signing they were having at the U-Plex Department Store. Before that, we went to Baskin Robbins. Baskin Robbins here is 100 times more cute, 100 times more pink, and 100 times more adorable. I haven't been to a lot of BRs in the states but I'm guessing it's more expensive here as well. Right now they are using SHINee as their spokesmodels so they had a CF of them playing on repeat on all the TVs (not that I'm complaining.) I went all out and got a banana split. It was maybe 5,000KRW and it was kind of little but it was super delicious and came with cheesecake cubes.

So the U-Plex Department Store is about 10 floors of different kinds of stores. They vary in price from reasonable to really expensive. We travelled through each floor until we got to the floor where VIXX was supposed to be. Obviously it was in a closed auditorium and we couldn't see inside. Oh well, next time! I did buy a sweater and some leggings on a major major sale and it was fun looking at all of the clothes I couldn't afford.
Saw my bae Kim Soo Hyun chilling.
That's really all I have for this entry. Next time I will write about BBQ with Ju Hyun and going to Dongwoo's father's restaurant. I am actually going to skip over Ann House and You are Here Café because they are quite involved entries and I already wrote about them on my coffee shop blog here!
See you guys <3
