A friend of mine met up with me in Seoul and wanted to check out a bookstore. He suggested What the book? in Itaewon. It's up on the 2nd floor. The entire store sells English books, children's books, comics, language study books, adult coloring books and used books. It was terrible. I was hoping after spending [...]

Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market
Bankok has a market for everything it feels like. Flower markets, night markets, flashlight markets, weekend markets and even floating markets. On the morning of my first day in Thailand I tried to sit and plan things I wanted to do. I wanted to do day tours and little trips but I was worried about [...]
Chatuchak Weekend Market ตลาดจตุจักร
The Chatuchak Weekend Market is intense. Only open from Friday night through Sunday the market sells everything. Need shoes? Done. Jeans? Done. Souvenirs? Done. A new furry friend? Yup. Decoration for your house. Definitely. Boob shaped novelty soap? Can't go five feet without finding some. With a mix of indoor and outdoor shops the market has [...]
Platinum and Central World
On my first full day in Bangkok I spent a bit of time trying to decide what to do. After an almost hour long conversation with a friend, he suggested I check out the malls only 3-4 khlong boat stops away. I first popped my head in the Palladium since it was the easiest to get [...]
Enter-6 Wangsimni Station Branch mall 엔터식스 왕십리점
Nathalie and I went to Wangsimni to see The Force Awakens in 4D, but arrived way to early. Luckily the station's attached to a mall. The mall is mostly a fashion mall, with plenty of clothing and accessory shops. There's nothing particularly exciting about that but this small mall's themed. It's broken up into avenues that are [...]
Foreign Food Market
Cooking in South Korea can be difficult, where I live my food tends to go bad quickly and the options are limited. So if I want to get anything special I have to go somewhere else. Which is really bad for cold things. Since the holiday season is around I really wanted to buy candy [...]
이대 Edae Ehwa Women’s University
Edae is the area where Ehwa Women's University is located. This university neighborhood is peaceful and a great place to shop. Nathalie and I went just to wander around, first stopping in the Daiso and being surprised at all the cute options there were in comparison to some of the other Daiso's we'd been to. We [...]
Mercy Juice
One of the reasons we were in Garosugil in Gangam was because Mika wanted to try and do a healthy juice detox and wanted to stop by Mercy Juice. I didn't really know what to expect, too full from burgers and milkshakes to even think about sitting and drinking at a juice bar. Luckily though, [...]
Cafe Mugiwara
When we'd visited the Tokyo Tower the evening before we passed a One Piece themed shop and cafe and I really wanted to go back and see them when they were open. So after trying on Yukata's in Harujuku we headed back to the Tokyo Tower to have lunch. We grabbed a menu and waited in [...]
Yukata’s in Harujuku
We left our hotel a lot later than planned since we spent the morning dealing with the police, but in a way it worked out. Because we arrived in Harujuku right when shops were starting to open. The goal for the day was to try on either kimonos or yukata's and depending on how much [...]
