On a rainy day while in Seoul, what is one to do but shop. So Rachel and I had to check out Gangnam, an upscale district of Seoul known for it's good eats {and plastic surgery}, and made popular by the K Pop singer, Psy's hit song:

Your welcome for that little gem.
Before we left, we had a relaxing brunch in Itaewon for breakfast. I haven't had a real satisfying breakfast in forever. Gecko's may be the closest thing to an American bar as you can get, here. Meaning they play Katy Perry and know what bacon is.
{Salad, along with other items like white rice, and squid, kimche, etc. is commonly served with breakfast. While Koreans do serve "typical" foods at breakfast, they have other sides as well. Also jam is served on any imaginable carb here}.

Shopping!:
{A man crafting handmade leather shoes. My size (US 8.5) or 255 in Korean sizes *aka Bigfoot* is very hard to find here. Some stores offer to craft you shoes that are not available in your size.
{^^The store. And below, leaving with the goods. New winter heels and a red leather handbag. I literally made Rachel take a subway 10 stops and a solid hour back to buy the handbag.Ahhh indecision. My sense of direction is nonexistent and I found the shop on the crowded streets}.
{The bear outside a teen's clothing store. The bear reminded me of my teddy, Buke and of my boyfriend, Luke :) }.

{The ^^ charming little shoulder shrug routine he's doing. Also Luke. Miss ya!}
