Heard a splash in the pool.

Thought it was skinny dipping hoodlums; there were none.

Turns out it was this guy:

So we scooped him out, thinking he would not last long in the chlorinated water.

Does anyone know what species of frog this is? Tried http://frogwatch.museum.wa.gov.au/ but couldn’t find a match.

On the flight back, I ordered the Kosher meal. The theory goes this meal is the special meal that is the closest to being a regular meal; thus you get the meal delivered before anyone else, with sacrificing minimal flavour. Here it is:

The meal was acceptable. It lacked the freshness and variety of the regular aeroplane meal. There was also numerous layers of strong protective plastic to break though (this ensures no one has tampered with the food). This proved loud and cumbersome to break through.

Overall, it was fun to try. Next time, I think I’ll stick with the regular meal. The experience has made me curious about the Jewish faith; might buy a book about it.

I wore the jacket, as well as my red shoes:

The bride looked stunning in her dress:

The ceremony itself was quite a performance; flashing lights and explosions. Very different to a traditional Western wedding. After the ceremony, a big group photo was taken.

After the ceremony, the bride and groom changed into their traditional Korean attire. The reception hall had lots of tables, covered in delicious food and drink.

And here I am with the happy couple:

We went to Itaewon during the first week to find a good tailor. The tailor we found was very professional, spoke good english, and had a respectable collection of business card trophies (his previous customers).

It was my goal to get a sportcoat style jacket; something that could be worn formally, semi-formally, and smart-casually. And here is the jacket:

The jacket has several pockets on the inside; one for pens, passport, and misc things. It fits like a glove! Here it is on me:

Seoul has the best meat on a stick in the world:

When you take a hot dog, put it on a stick, turn it into a corn dog, then coat it with french fries, you get this. Fantastic! It was delicious, almost ate the whole thing (except for a couple of dropped french fries).

Deli Manjoo. No words can describe how delicious these warm custard filled treats are. Just the thought makes my mouth water. Mmmmmmmmm!!

Is that all? Well mine had 1-2-3-4!

Oh yeah, believe it!

After reading about 4D Avatar online and ONLY being available in Korea, we just had to check it out. The tickets cost ~$18 each, and IMO most worth it.

The forth dimension included extra effects like:

• moving seats (backwards/forwards and left/right) which kicked in during chase and flight scenes
• wind which started during flight scenes
• smells (of various scent) emitted
• water jets spurting in the water splash scene
• smoke (released from the front of the room)
• vibrations, in the chair, during thumping bass moments

Of the added effects, the moving seats was my favourite. It gave a rollercoaster feel to certain scenes.

Thankfully the following effects were missing:

• flames during the fire scene

Unfortunately the following effects were missing:

• ???? during the love making scene

At the heart of the village is a time capsule. It was constructed in 1994, and is scheduled for opening in 2394. It contains over 600 items relating to (but not limited to) technology, culture, fashion, lifestyle and business.

For lunch, we ate at a Korean style fast food restaurant. I ordered a kind of DIY stir fry; the ingredients came in a very hot bowl, and you stir it up and it cooks. Another dish we ordered was a spicy hot tofu soup.

Here I am….

Here is some Kimbop (ie. Australian Sushi) that a lady down the street makes. Very fresh and very tasty. Costs about $2.

There is a supermarket just down the road. We went there the other day to pick up some supplies. Here are a couple interesting things:

At the end of the street is a neat little bakery & coffee shop. They sell lots of different breads and pastries:

The other day I bought these goodies:

Yesterday we went to the major shopping district. Big multi-level electronic malls. We ate lunch at a Japanese cutlet restaurant. We chose the assortment main, which included shrimp, pork and mozzarella cutlets, as well as rice and miso.
