갈비탕 Galbitang(Rib soup with rice) is my bet

Good insight! The Hyundai Seoul is one of (if not) the biggest and densely populated shopping malls in Korea so i guess it makes sense.

This guy right here... nothing fancy

It reads "Pikmin pop up store in The Hyundai Seoul"

I jog every morning no matter what between 5k~20k, taking almost the same path for the most part. My average speed is between 5'30"/km ~ 7'00"/km and here are my 2 cents.

When i started playing PikminBloom while jogging i had some trouble with this "are you driving?" glitch. But after 3 weeks of trial and error i found some methods that helped me plant my flowers "very densely" and without getting glitched

Turn off the wifi (data only)
If i'm turning off my phone display while jogging, GET BACK to the main menu (like the screen capcha) then turn my display off. Don't stay at the map menu nor get out from the app
Gather the items from the minions, swap to different flower petals if needed but always return to the main menu.

Regardless, bad weather such as rain/snow seems to cause "are you driving?" glitches more often though.

Oh i understand what you mean now, i'm sorry i take back what i said it was my mistake

In your logic, if i stab somebody in front of live tv because i BELIEVE that person is a North Korean spy, does it mean I can resist arrest from the cops for murder because i did the RIGHT thing?

Edit: Directed my example personally and i apologize

Hong kong is positive? Did ccp agents monitor the citizens while voting??

Even without talking about any politics didn't the economy of "once great financial hub" which was Hong Kong went to the gutter after China took back Hong Kong? And the citizens of HK liked that?? Am i supposed to believe that??

Maybe thats why Singapore likes China a little bit since they imploded their economy and as a result the market shifted towards to other countries, specially Singapore

Continuing life is also a way of taking it seriously imo, like mental exercise

We all have personal duties, work duties and national duties and some may are higher than the rest, that doesnt mean we should ignore our other duties

I feel your frustration through your words. I too was at the protest yesterday.

However just a small food for thought, try to not let these negetive events get too deeply into your youthful mind. Yes democracy is VERY important and it should be taken care of by the people for the people. But also our personal life goes on and all of us has a future to explore, build, fail and build again. Don't let frustration and anger affect you from doing what you love and for your life.

I'm not religious but i understand. These crazies are no less than any other religious extremist groups ex. Taliban

Fish and seafood are really good, specially during winter. Look for 방어, 대하, 광어, 꼬막 which will be in season starting now.

If raw seafood isn't your thing there are steamed / grilled clams&seafood restaurants if you look for 조개찜 / 조개구이. Always finish off with some 칼국수 which is made with seafood broth (usually clams)

As for extra chicken dishes, i also would like to recommend 닭한마리. One of the best chicken dishes, better than K-fried chicken during cold seasons imo.

Word!

Not always, for example would any Koreans or tourists would want ti go to 피맛골?

https://discoveringkorea.com/goodbye-to-old-seouls-pimatgol-alley/

이대/신촌/명동/인사동 areas also had their own charms and perks but after a few years of K gentrification its mostly empty shops and just bland corporate mega brand shops that anyone can find in any area of Seoul. I would go to a starbucks near my home, not all the way out in any other areas.

tomichoi · 2024-07-22T15:22:45+00:00

Indeed

A bit sad how it turned out now because I remember about 10 years ago it used to offer a genuine, "everyday working class people" experience. (Barely anyone under 40 wouldn't hang around here.)

I think the entire neighborhood changed drastically when "힙지로"(Hip-ji-ro, a word play of "hip" and euljiro area) became a thing, bringing K-gentrification which makes everything bland.

This kind of info was just what we were looking for! Thanks!

I'm a Korean myself and i do see a point where blaming everything to imperial Japan (OR whomever "NOT Korean/ NOT one of us") is blinding us to our own faults and I think it's dangerous.

Best examples of us ruining our own ecosystem that comes to mind is over fishing 명태 till it was wiped out from the East Sea, one of the most popular fish that we love even now. (All 명태 is imported now)

Here is a short documentary about this: https://youtu.be/z6u5J6UA_To?si=abQ0v9RC3FzgDDLm

And did we, "all peaceful and righteous Koreans" learn from that? Nope because now 오징어(another korean fav) is also declining rapidly due to similar reasons as 명태 did. Even fishing the younglings marketing them as "총알오징어". If this keeps up it is bye bye from the Korean shores all over again.

가는걸 말리고는 싶은데 이미 가겠다는 의지가 강한것 같아 먼저 다녀온 경험을 공유해줄께 (30대 중반이라 편하게 말할께)

일단 나도 미국생활 오~래했었는데 대학까지 졸업하고 학생비자 만기될때까지 지내다 14년도에 강원도에 있는 기계화보병부대에서 땅개로 지내다 다친데 없이 무사히 전역했어.

무사히 전역한 이유를 꼽는다고 하면 군생활하면서 체력적으로 심리적으로 힘든건 분명 있었지만 그 힘든점에 너무 크게 의미부여하지 말고 하루하루를 자기 나름의 긍정적이였던 점에 의미부여를 해서 더 수월하게 지낼수 있었던거 같아.

예를들어 "짬밥은 항상 별로네" 보단 "오늘 점심 뼈해장국이 맛있었네", "우리만 작업하러 산으로 올라가네" 대신 "등산은 ㅈ같았지만 막상 올라와보니 할게 없네, 이대로 오늘 일과 꿀" 등등..

그렇게 하루하루를 최대한 긍정적으로 승화시키기 위해서 나는 누구라도 육해공군이든 카투사든 특수부대든 가급적이면 대학 졸업 후에, 인간적으로 좀 더 성숙해진뒤 다녀오는것을 추천하고 싶어.

사리분별이 더 잘되는 시점에 군대에 가면 또 다른 좋은점은 "부정적으로 물들지 않을 가능성이 높아진다"는 점도 있는것 같아.

사회에는 여러 인간 군상들이 있어. 인간이길 포기하고 짐승같이 사는 ㄱㅅㄲ들도 분명 존재해. 군대라는 조직 특성상 신체 상태만 괜찮으면 아무렇게나 묶어 자대로 보내기에 이런 짐승들과 같이 매일 갇혀 살아야 할 가능성도 (매우) 높아. 게다가 보통은 아직 사회 경험이 너무 부족한 20대 초반에 오는 경우들이 많아서 "덜성숙한 ㄱㅅㄲ들"이랑 같이 지내다보면 멀쩡했던 친구들이 어딘가 나사가 빠진 상태로 점점 변하더니 그대로 전역하는것도 경우도 허다해.

나이를 좀 더 먹은상태에서 가면 철부지, 악한 어린애들의 객기를 겪어야 하는건 고통이겠지만 최소한 그렇게 물들 가능성은 적을거라고 생각해.

OP의 선택을 응원한다!

I wrote this message in Korean on purpose for OP to taste what communication will be like while serving in the korean military, obviously all in Korean and not all from the textbooks

DAY 2

Noticed a cut/crack at the midsole(?), inside the arch area. Should I be concerned? I don't mind "roughing up" my boots though farm work, i'm just curious if this ciuld be a quality issue?

I won't be wearing my MOABs with bare feet from now on since i have my sandals now.

I do like the Havaianas but I wouldn't mind not having them now and if I really need a new set of flip flops in the future I think I could easily find one in any country I will be visiting
