On Sunday, I went into Seoul to look for a shock proof/water proof camera. After eating in Itaewon, my friend and I took a taxi to Yongsan Electronics Market. It is an electronic shoppers heaven. It is this giant building with floors that are seperated by categories. There is a camera floor, tv floor, phone floor, bridal floor (weird), etc. The best part is that there is little stands or seperate stations, so bargining is a must. You have to bring cash, because it will allow you to bargain even more. Oh, and always walk away. I went to one stand who wanted 250 for a camera. I walked away, the third stand wanted 230. I said I have cash, after everything, I got the camera, charger, usb disc reader, camera case, and memory card for 220.
After the the camera, we went to What The Book? It is an english book store in Itaewon. I love it. They have a great children's book section and english magazines! This is the new best find.
Ok everyone, I finally got my hair done at Green Turtle. The name scared me, but everyone at work swore it was a great place. Well, it was an expeirence. When you walk in, you leave your shoes at the door and put slippers on that are four sizes too big. Next, they give you an oversized t-shirt to put over your shirt (an extra precaution, if your getting your hair dyed). They guy that does everyone's hair is korean and hysterical. He only dyes your hair, cuts, and styles it at the end. The women do everything else, they wash it, give a head and shoulders massage (fantastic) and dry your hair. It is just a funny experience. Too girls dry your hair, one on each side. They speak korean, so they are probably making fun of you, but I'm used to it. I was very nervous, but my hair turned out really good. Also, the only customers are foreign.
I ended this day with my first steak and potatoes at Outback Steakhouse (lol).
Post a pic of your new haircut!
