Cereal

This is big plastic bag of puffed barley, not wheat. No sugar added. This is the cereal we buy off the street from vendors who sell only puffed grains and other light, dry, crispy things. I wonder how Koreans have this barley. With milk? For breakfast?


Sticker Pig

Here is our sheet of stickers from the corner store. We get some stickers with every purchase. We weren't sure what they were for until one of the cashiers gave us the sheet to stick them on. We're assuming that we can redeem a completed sheet for something, and the suspense is too much really. If all we get is a brand new sheet for more stickers, I will laugh and do it all again.


Mask

Here is a paper rendition of a traditional Korean mask. It kinda looks like Sean Penn as Harvey Milk, no?


Roti Buns

Roti Buns

Roti buns, oh me oh my. We love these things. We would spend our last starving pennies on one last roti bun, divvy it up and fill our angry bellies with its fluffy, salted-buttery, sweet, sweet nourishment. We've done it before. Apparently they're a Malaysian-Mexican thing? I think Malaysia and Mexico should marry?


Praha

This is a bar made to look like that clock tower thing in Prague that apparently has good goulash and Pilsner (the bar, not the clock tower thing).


Figure

Figure

We found a store that sells those expensive, resin-based figurines that some people collect. I like this one.


White Day

Oh yes, Saturday was White Day.

Important Japanese lesson:
honmei-choco = chocolate of love
giri-choco = courtesy chocolate

sorry to be a kill-joy, but.. one of my friends spent months filling up his sticker-sheet, finally turned it in at the store, and received a single box of kleenex as thanks. Now, you might get something cooler, but don't get your hopes TOO high.

On the other hand...I hope you win a trip to Thailand!  


Kleenex is in fact the usual reward, but we feel like somehow we've spoiled the surprise.
The puffed barley is usually eaten as is, as a snack rather than breakfast food.  


Surprise spoilers! The pig is complete. We might redeem it soon for some luxurrrrrious Kleenex. No more blowing my nose with TP! We might keep the pig as a souvenir instead though.  


i laughed after reading about the pig sticker board and then scrolled down to find sean penn laughing with me.

...ill dream of how roti buns taste tonight..
