So after the longest, most horrific winter ever, the weather has finally broken. There's been a few false dawns where the temperature has risen above 3 degrees only to plummet to -5 again the next day but I think it's now safe to say that winter is officially over in Korea. We even have the pink-flamingo-esque sunburn to prove it.
This weekend we went to Seoul. Not for any particular reason but just to get out of Buan. We headed to Lotte World on Saturday and we finally bought our matching Lotty and Lorry tshirts (photo entry to follow later). Now we can match like Korean couples do (one of the few things I actually think is great about Korea is the fact that most couples seem to wear matching clothes - Kathy has yet to be convinced). The amusement park was dead so we got on lots of rides and discovered a new and delicious hot dog stand.
After getting our roller coaster fix, we went to Gangnam to try out the new Johnny Rockets diner inside the Shinsegae department store. We'd tried to eat here a few weeks previously but were thwarted by Korea (again) when they closed the doors early. This time we had better luck and managed to eat Johnny Rockets goodness, although the tables are squeezed in so tightly that we were practically sharing meals with the people next to us. Still, it was cheap(ish) and delicious and makes a change from McDonalds (our usual weekend meal of choice) or nothing (our usual weekday meal of choice).
On Sunday we visited Insadong to buy some bits and pieces and stuffed ourselves with enough fast food to sustain us for a week in the culinary wasteland that is Jeollabuk-do.
