Shopping in Pusan


Went to buy some stuff for the new apartment. Crazy, all those people are greeters to the store and stand outside waving and bowing to cars as they go in.
Sadly, the designs are way too ornate. Nothing clean and modern at a reasonable price. As always a cool supermarket inside.

New place Lotte Castle


So this is my new place. It's WAY bigger than before. 3 bedroom 2 bath and finally got a full kitchen a full fridge. Need new furniture or really just need furniture. haha.
My bathroom is cool. Got a rainshower and everything. I still need to figure out the features on the toilet.

New Bedroom

New bedroom, its pretty big. It's got a private patio and for some reason they have dual sliding windows on the patio and on the inside. Maybe it's for the weather or something. Also a view from my room at nite and my closet dressing room area.

Niece's birthday party

Was lucky enough to attend my niece's birthday party. It was super fun, they had a giant jumper with slide, hawaiian hula show, snow cones and some cousins were in town to enjoy it all too.

LA metro

Hey who says people don't ride mass transit in LA. Rode it on the way to the Bazaar restaurant.
The new trains are nice too. More digital signage and stuff, don't understand the bland exterior coloring.

checked out the monocle store



Went to the monocle store in Brentwood. Not so great. More of a small place to buy back issues and order products that they normal will sell at there bigger stores. The nice dog was the highlight, so chill.

IHOP



Haha, got to eat IHOP while in LA. Typical American breakfast restaurant, I may love gourmet ingredients but what can I say, I love pancakes, eggs and hashbrowns!!! Nothing better in the morning than grease at a low price.

This is gonna give me bad karma.

It has been two months since I drove a car and I do miss it. I miss it all, the speed, the freedom, the lame LA drivers and the douches with the fauxhawks (he was driving slow in the fast lane and even on the phone). Yes I took this photo while driving. This gentlemen was driving his 6 series with the top down and I noticed him cuz he had one hand in the air and dancing to music. hahaha! check out his crazy shirt and rolled up sleeve with bright contrasting color and sunglasses. Oh, I do miss LA. After all this I kinda wanna go back to Asia. Serenity now!

Trip to LA




So finally back in LA. Hopefully for a couple of days. Saw some cool things during the layover in Japan at the airport. Cool pay phone with huge numbers. At the duty free store the lady is giving out samples of whiskey to passerbys and an oxygen bar. Yes, I even take picture in the restroom. It's a kids seat so your child can chill in your stall while you're in the toilet.

Dinner with coworkers

Went out with some coworkers for a company dinner. Yes I found a gym of Asians playing badminton. sweet! It's cool in Asia how the streets are packed in the evenings and beer is cheap.

Cleaning up the streets

Here are some pics of older Koreans cleaning up the pavers in the sidewalk. They're jobs are to pull the grass and weeds out. You would think a spray (I know it's toxic) would be easier or redo the pavers because they're all crooked anyways.

Interesting


Alright on a lighter note, the douche bag in the hockey jersey (probably a nice guy) but his jersey or team name said "Gangster" on it!


Buying a movie ticket in Korea and I heard most of Asia involves getting a number, waiting till it is called and then buying the ticket. Kinda like the DMV.
The nice subway trains of are on the new line that are in the nice area of Busan far far away from me.

Gotta eat Vegetarian more often

I know this is super hypocritical considering most of my post involve me eating meat, but I think I gotta eat vegetarian more often. This video is crazy. They grind chickens alive.
