Landed and Jet Lagged Part2

This morning:
We went out in search of Isaac Toast for breakfast, but couldn't find it so we ended up going to Tom n Tom's for Honey Butter Toast. (Turns out we were soooo close to the Isaac's!!)Then we walked on to COEX-Asia's largest underground shopping mall-complete with aquarium and art gallery. We also went to the kimchi museum, which was fun and educational. After COEX, we took the subway back to the guest house and took a nap/rested for a bit. Mr. Lee, the door man came up to check with us about dropping our bags off at the front desk (so we don't have to lug all our bags to Pusan and back) and I was able to give him the gift I got for him (chocolates and post cards of St. Joseph). He came back a few minutes later to bring us some chestnuts. He was making comments about the jewelry we had out and on, and I tried in broken Korean to tell him Amanda's mom sells jewelry-didn't work so well. Amanda and I finished getting ready and then headed out to Gangnam. We did stop to talk to Mr. Lee again (I came prepared with written Korean what I wanted to say-good thing because he didn't understand when I spoke it, but understood what I had written.) We did a little shopping and walked around looking for a good place for dinner. We picked Rice Story-it was pretty good. We stopped at Paris Baguette to get some pastries for breakfast tomorrow. We're heading to Pusan for a couple days to visit my Inje University friends.
Good night!
Mmmm....Honey Butter Toast!!

"Express your feeling of kimchi with face" Amanda looks fearful of kimchi

"Express your feeling of kimchi with face" Amy loves her kimchi
