Roaming in Seoul

Arriving in Seoul a couple days ago, it is bitterly cold just like Canada. Thank god it doesn't snow that much. It is like -10 Celcius. With wind, it feels like -40. There is no chance of getting around by recognizing Chinese characters, Hangku is everywhere. If you don't know the phonetic symbols, there is no way to pronounce it. My survival technique is to print out the maps of my service apartment, work, Canadian ambassy, and take cab everywhere I go.

Impossible to decipher the menu, I am currently living of the mercy of convenience store foods. Things might turn better next week, I want to eat bulgogi with beer.
