Seoul of Asia

Well we finally did it. After all those times of planning and then changing plans, the lady and I traveled to Seoul in early July. The rain was awful on the bus ride up from Gwangju but the trip was well worth the danger. Since the weather wasn't ideal, we decided to make this a trip for the indoors-inclined. 

Basement entrance of Techno Mart from the Subway.

After getting off the bus and onto the subway, our first stop was to Techno Mart. Now this was a beautiful place. 

10 floors and jam-packed with more electronics only someone hellbent on world domination would ever need. There's also a CGV IMAX on the top floor and a food court just below that. 

This place had everything. I've come to find that Gwangju has its limits when dealing with electronics. For Seoul, there are no such boundaries and Techno Mart is just part of the proof. We were easily able to find the Xbox power adapter that we came for and did a bit more exploring. 

Got cameras?

After exploring each floor, we moved up for some food.

Back at it again....

A lot has happened since I last wrote here. We've traveled quite a bit on the peninsula and off it in Jeju. Jeju was an amazing experience and is definitely a place that I'd consider living in someday. I'll write more about that very soon as well. 

Possibly one of the greatest innovators the world has seen, Steve Jobs, passed away. I know there are a lot of haters out there but come on, Jobs was an innovator and didn't give up until perfection was achieved in his products. 

Also, a large movement has seemingly spread across the U.S. and onto the rest of the world. Initially known as "Occupy Wall Street", there are movements across the globe involving people frustrated with the current financial situation in the World. 

We made trips to Seoul and Daegu which I'll be posting about very soon. We have a map of Korea and keep adding stars to each place after visiting. Our new apartment doesn't seem to have walls that get along with double-sided tape. Everything keeps falling. 

Back!
