Lunch at Paris Croissant

After the long walk, it's about lunch time. So I went back to Paris Croissant and had something new. This bread store is very interesting. The choice of bread and also the ingredient in it is very interesting. Had a green tea latte to go along with it. Also there is this device that they give you while they make the your drink. If you look at the photo above, the black round device. When your drink is ready, they will page you and your device will light on, and vibrates. I think its cool.. and also Malaysia should have something like that too.

Passing by while the morning walk

As soon as I came out from the Sport Complex Station for my walk, the Olympic Stadium is right there in front of me. Well.. it was empty. But the mascot is still there. And I think their maintainence are much much better than our Merdeka Stadium.

Along the way to the river, you will be passing through a road with trees on both side of the road. I am thinking if this was autumn or spring, it will be a very nice place and beautiful too.

This is the learn to drive course. I think Malaysia should have places like this to learn. It's much more safer than being on the road.

And guess what I found along the way. Its a god damn go-kart track. Woohoo~ It was wet, and I didn't bring my helmet along for the wings, so I think I will return for some good wings.. woohoo~

And on my way back to the hotel, I found this weird house or maybe it's a office. But still, it's weird. The house was built on the stairs.

Morning Walk

Woke up about 10.00am today and decided to for a morning walk since I do not have any meeting today. And I am slightly lazy to do research. I have to check out from the hotel as the booking was only made will 24th but will resume on the 26th.

I took the subway from Gangnam to Sport Complex. Costs me 1000KW. I think it is slightly crazy to walk by the river on winter time, but you know what.. there are so many people by the river, walking, jogging, cycling and exercising. Even fishing~ At that point, I was thinking~ yea~ I am not crazy.

More drinking~

Meet up with Shin's friend and we went for drink again. Damn~ these guys just keep drinking everyday. OMG~ One place is not enough, they always go bar hopping. Drinking from Tequila to beer. And sometimes Tequila to beer to Soju to whiskey. Oh man~ I am going to DIE~~~

Check out their Karaoke

This is so cool~ One of their karaoke place, the rooms are all double decker. So you can sing below or sing upstairs. It has TV on the top and bottom floor too.. so you don't have to look down to sing.

Latest Shoe in Korea

This is the latest shoe in Korea. It has spring on the back and said to be helpful with straightening your body posture. I remember I did one for my wife but it is only a foot pad. The foot pad is not cheap. Costs me about RM500 for it. But I think it helps her foot. So I am happy and I think it's worth it~

Now this is what I call a TOY SHOP

The shop was nearby School Food. We dropby to check out the airguns. It is exactly like the real thing. Too bad Malaysia can't have such toys~

Dinner with 신 at School Food

Was tired after the Samsung Building tour, I went back to the hotel and had a afternoon nap. Then Shin called - DINNER~ We went to 아구정 Apgujeong and went to this restaurant called School Food. Nice sets of meals. Nice menu and everyone working there, their attire is school uniform. Nice~

Inside the New Samsung Building

After my lunch with 아림, I went to continue my with business research and my last stop for the the new Samsung Building. The other day, I was only passing by, but I went in this time. One word to describe it - FUUYOO~

Most of the installations in the building, I think Sanyen has done it too. So when I saw it, there was nothing much special. Basically, you type your message in the computer and when you click send, it will appear on the big screen on the floor.

The basement, displays all Samsung technology so far and also a lounge. Basically you can touch, feel and also play all the products.

And the top floor. There are 2 installations on this floor. One of it, is just a simple touch screen with cool transitions and 3D. The 2nd one caught my attention. I am not sure if Sanyen has done this before. But was it does is, when you step on it, a video will appear in front of you.

Lunch with 아림

Was chatting with 아림 on MSN, and her work place is just nearby my hotel. So we decided to have lunch together. She brought me to this place at 강남 (Gangnam). The enviroment is nice and also the food is delicious. 아림 eats a lot. She finished most of the dishes. I only took small portions. I think Korean can eat a lot and drink a lot~~

White Morning~

It was snowing yesterday, so in the morning, it was white everywhere.. but it melted in hours as the sun came out. The photo was taken from my window of my hotel room :)
