I have a tie. It’s a nice tie. I know this because: 1) My daughter chose it 2) It’s from Milan (Milano) But I was very surprised the company that made the tie was called “Andrew’s Ties“. Perhaps in Milan ‘Andrew’ gives a certain gravitas to the brand, but as a Brit I would have […]

Back to 발우공양 Balwoo Gongyang Kong Temple Food

June 21, 2011 By Doug Lawrence 1 Comment

    Those of you who have read earlier posts in this blog will not be surprised that I returned to the Balwoo Gongyang Kong Temple Food restaurant. This time I went for ‘noodles’ rather rice.

Bandi and Luni’s underground bookstore in Seoul

June 21, 2011 By Doug Lawrence Leave a Comment

I like book shops and find it difficult not to leave a store without an arm full of purchases which I naively intend to read, and sometimes do – despite that owning a book is often a substitute for reading it. No one who knows anything about Korea will be surprised to learn that Korean […]

Help is always at hand in Seoul

June 21, 2011 By Doug Lawrence Leave a Comment

It’s often said don’t walk around with a map in London … it screams ‘tourist’and could draw the attention of the wrong type of people – such as pickpockets. Walk around with a map and in London you might be robbed, in Seoul you’ll be mobbed – by people trying to help you. … and […]

Tea, Coffee or … you’re kidding right?!

June 21, 2011 By Doug Lawrence Leave a Comment

The CATS Hotel complimentary drinks tray looked well stocked. My interest was drawn to what I had thought was Rose tea ‘specially designed for her’, but oh no, it’s a two pack of condoms! Surprise over, why put it next to the tea and coffee sachets?

LG Toothpaste?!

June 21, 2011 By Doug Lawrence 1 Comment

So LG do toothpaste now? It could be an advert, but doesn’t look like it to me. The push on cap with a series of barbed plastic prongs was also new to me.

Executive cars in South Korea

June 21, 2011 By Doug Lawrence Leave a Comment

We all know that Korea exports a lot of cars, but what about big luxury cars? Well it seems they are making those too. Not that I’ve seen any in Europe or the US yet. I have seen very few imported cars. In the large executive class I’ve seen many of the cars as shown […]

Personalised Hangeul Stamp

I had my own personalised Hangeul stamp made at Myung Sin Dang Art Shop at 18, Gwan Hun Dong Jong Ro Gu, Seoul. Following a pingback from Jonathan Jamieson, I discovered a few blogs that cover these stamps much better than my effort here 😉 I also learned the stamps are called ‘dojang aka name […]
