Shanghai random

Some cops chatting it up onShanghai.

So fancy. Wait! It's a Haagen Dazs ice cream shop.
They added colored lights under the freeway system in downtown Shanghai. It's for the Expo, crazy!
I like the soda can. It's lychee flavored which wasn't so good. But the top is aluminum and the body is plastic. You get to see the contents and it should make it harder to recycle. Why do it?
Street in Kunshan, near factories. The lights have counters so you know how long you have to wait. Also lots of bike and at night all the bikes and most motorcycles don't have lights. Pretty dangerous.

Shanghai again

Yup, went to Shanghai for a quick factory visit. Ahh, China eastern airlines. At least I got back safe. It's a short 90minute flight anyways.

Candy shop in shanghai. Not bad.
This is in downtown Shanghai, it's a historic park. You pay 30RMB to get in, about $5-6bucks
Had some tea overlooking the crowds.
These lantern floats are for new years and celebrating the Expo being held in May in Shanghai.

Dalmaji Pho

This past weekend went out to Dalmaji, which as I've said before is modern and has decent design and style.

The photo above is a coffee shop where I had some frozen yogurt. It was ok I guess. One topping, not much of it but better than nothing. Like the interior tho. Cool lights.

Yup, I ate Pho in Busan. I was desperate enough to try it. I've had pho in K-town in LA and after having it once...never again. I was super drunk and hungry and there was no way I was going to eat it again. Even when I had to sit and wait for everyone else to eat it.

A plus, this place had a good location, across the street is a beautiful view of the ocean.

the menu didn't have anything to odd. Sorry no pictures of egg rolls but they were pretty good. I'd eat'em again. Not cooked correctly, but good. They need to quick fry them, then fry again to achieve a nice golden brown color and delicate texture. These were chewy but had the right flavours. Of course nouc man (dipping sauce) was forgettable.
The pho, loaded with onions, no cilantro and no extra herbs but not bad. Meat in Korea is expensive so can't expect much in terms of meat. I'd eat it again cuz it's the only thing around.

Nothing like mom's or a Vietnamese restaurant in LA. Oh it cost like 8 bucks too.

Shinpyung

Hi,

I was sick last week so haven't been able to update anything. Also swamped with work so not much to write about. Of course super happy about being able to watch the Olympics.

Most of the stuff they show is speed skating here and way too many replays of the same races. I do get to watch Canada play hockey so yipee!

I've decided to stop posting stuff form holiday trip cuz it was months ago.

Here is my daily stuff.

This top onions is condiments to go with the duck stir fry stuff below. This is from our lunch cafeteria/restaurant. Usually lunch is free but to get this you pay extra, about 3 bucks a person more.

These are controls for the radiant floor heating. Love the exposed wires.
Other guests in the restaurant.
Server and soju fridge. The thing on the left is air conditioner.
In table burner controller.

Walking to get lunch. The weather is nice just cold.
This is part of the crosswalk that has been under construction for about 5 months. Reworking water main and paving the sidewalks. Pretty slow and when they're fast it gets sloppy. Guess you can't win.
