Minus Seven Degrees & food tripping

It dipped to negative 7 when we were exploring the street market near our hotel.

I don’t remember ever exposing myself to a freezer-like environment this cold.
My nguso and gilagid are nangangapal, the tip of my nose is as cold as a popsicle.
Edmund’s bumbunan needs to be protected with a bonnet and hoodie. So far it’s been fun to be out in the cold.

Our hotel is walking distance to several blocks of shopping.

Winter clothes, shoes, beauty products and lots of different street food. The cold did not stop us from exploring and food tripping.

We went inside Uniqlo to keep us warm. Sobrang ginaw sa labas. By 9 pm, temperature has dropped to negative 5.

We are very curious about their street food.   They all look and smell good.

There’s a Two two fried chicken restaurant 5 meters away from our hotel. We could smell the chicken from 50 meters away. That was effective, we bought the basic half chicken for W16,000.

The Koreans put kimchi in everything. Kimchi pizza, kimchi cake, kimchi crepe, kimchi ice cream, kim chi spam, etc. Women are judged by how delicious their kimchi is by their husband and in-laws. Siguro nung araw yan. Women now are more modern. Delicious kimchi can be found in groceries, no need to make your own.
