Bulgogi is tasty, and a bit sweet. That red stuff is the ubiquitous Korean kimchi.

Shopping Mall in Insadong
All photos are straight out of the camera. That is, the Nokia N82 camera. Not bad I figure.

Dinner
The men are having an after work meal and drinking the typical beverage, Soju the popular drink here. From Wikipedia:
Soju is a distilled beverage native to Korea. Most brands of modern soju are made in South Korea. Though traditionally made from rice, most major brands supplement or even replace the rice with other starches such as potato, wheat, barley, sweet potato, or tapioca (called dangmil in Korean). Soju is clear in color and typically varies in alcohol content from about 20% to about 45% alcohol by volume (ABV), with 20% ABV being most common. Its taste is comparable to vodka, though often slightly sweeter due to the added sugar in the manufacturing process.
And it is cheap, I’m told about $1 per small bottle.

Happiness
This Ted talk is very interesting, though it may take a couple of listens to understand, if it is able to be undertood. But his description of how happiness comes in interesting, particularly about flow.

View of Seoul from the Fraser Suites
Nice view! I had to stick the camera out the window and then attach the lens holding it outside as the window wouldn’t open far enough to pass the camera with lens attached! Needless to say not dropping the camera body or the lens was foremost on my mind!
