Snowed in Seoul yesterday... lol.
Korea has misplaced Spring with Winter.

This year Spring also very weird...

Haha it was just an odd day yesterday.
Just suddenly snowed.

But still damn cold.. not usual spring weather.

For concerts, there are no upcoming concerts in Korea atleast... for the next few weeks.
However there is still the usually weekly music shows of Mnet Mcountdown, KBS Music Bank, MBC Music Core and SBS Inkigayo.

For KBS Music Bank, you will need invitations to get in.. so you'll need to find some connection with the fanbase of an idol/idol group who is performing that day.
As for Mnet Mcountdown (Thursday) and MBC Music Core (Saturday), you can usually just go to the places and then talk to some of the fanbase leaders to let you in.

SBS Inkigayo is quite strict, so you need connections also from the inside to get in.

Neither SNSD nor Kara will be performing for atleast the next few weeks.


To be honest, it is over saturated.
Especially in Seould definitely... at almost every corner you're bound to see a cafe.

It all comes down to the concept of the cafe you're trying to open.
Koreans love trying new stuff not from their own country, different concepts from the outside.
So do more research before plunging in.


Hopefully? haha..
Usually right now it shouldn't be 8c degrees at day time, should be hovering around the 12-15c already and there should be sunlight as well.

Theres very very minor radiation detected in the rain showers at Busan today.
It's.. started. People at Busan were quite scared to go out today.

Hope it doesn't get worst.
More rain expected over the next 2 days.

Nope, no radiation spotted in the rain at Seoul or Nami Island for that matter.
And no Koreans were reported to have any radiation effects either.

As for working hours in Seoul, it's a common misunderstanding.
The LONG working horus are at the factories and the entertainment businesses, others... they're just pretty much like Malaysia.

Hopefully it stays that way?
At this point in time, I'd say it's still safe to go to Seoul.

So don't worry too much, just keep an eye out on the news.


To be completely honest with you guys, natural beauty wise... Malaysians > Koreans.
Dont be surprised, that's the way it is.

Atleast Malaysian girls if they don't wear make up, still atleast.. they can look decent.
But Koreans? Majority of them if they don't wear make up and dress properly.. they look totally like ghosts. Not kidding, I've seen em'.. I was frightened.

Don't want to sound too harsh either...

The beautiful ones are really beautiful though (wherter or not they went under the knife is another story, don't wanna say anything bout that).

Can, but obviously it's going to be quite tricky.
If you need to know the language... well to be honest, there are just too much you'd need to know (as in, you're gonna need to put some effort into learning the language) if you want to enjoy going around without issues in Seoul freely alone.

Chuseyo/Juseyo comes from the word Juda (주다), which is "to give".

And "seyo" is a informal polite ending form, it doesn't mean anything on it's own.
But in this case it means "please".

Koreans like it when foreigners use informal polite form endings with them.
It means you respect them and they'll respect you back.

And yea..
Du geh means 2 objects.
Du means 2 and geh is an object counter (like for example 2 'pieces' of paper/ 2 cups of water).

So yep~ spot on, like you said.. "bab du geh juseyo" woud mean give me 2 bows of rice please.

Haha yea you're limited by your LAN.
1Gbps already in testing at certain areas in Seoul (gangnam-gu basically).

It's so ridiculously fast it's not funny.
You can just keep your files in a cloud server and stream it off them, it'll be as fast as opening them from your HDD (heck even faster technically).

Jeju Island is in the voting for being recognised as the "New 7 Wonders of Nature" of the world.
