Photos to follow tomorrow – I can’t find the cord to my camera to upload photos. A bumpy bus ride along the countryside brought us to Las Dunas Centro Comercial. A quiet, quaint little mall, we had it almost to ourselves. We scurried in and out of stores. We weaved in and out of dressing… Continue reading Shopping in Sanlucar

My girlfriends and I have taken frequent day trips this summer and Dongdaemun seems to be the highest on our list. We spend hours wandering the unending aisles of fabric, ribbon, beads and notions for many different reasons.

Haircuts A little background info… I used to get my haircut only about twice a year, part of the reason was the fact that I was always trying to let it grow and then when I moved to NYC I couldn’t afford or rationalize paying $100 for a shampoo, cut and blowdry unless I had… Continue reading The most random post in the history of Joes Melans…
One evening after coffee, Steph, Ally and I walked down to Ally’s car at the end of the alley to find that Ally had a ticket on her car. 60,000 Won, roughly $60 USD is what the ticket will cost Ally, as well as a headache and aggravation. Tickets in Korea are sporadic, more often… Continue reading CMOD – Cars in Korea
