What a hectic week it has been. I'm like a celebrity at the school (I'm sure the kids will get over it soon) with anklebiters following me around all day. The classrooms are pretty sweet with massive LG flatscreen TVs and an interesting series of computer languge programs.
They also get lunch every day. Man, it is so difficult to get them to concentrate in the 15 minutes before lunch.
I went to Dongdaemun yesterday with Sandra to purchase a vacuum cleaner (long story). Apparently that area is the biggest shopping mall in Asia. I just couldn't believe the amount of traffic in that area at 3pm, which isn't even rush hour.
W were also accosted by an English (?) woman wanting directions to the mall while she was standing right in front of it (the name of the mall was in english).
As part of our grand adventure to find a vacuum cleaner we went down this dodgy alley in search of a coffee. So we come across this door and go upstairs to find the coolest looking bar I've ever seen. Looking outside the window you see the market stalls and street food vendors while you're sitting on comfy leather armchairs. Prices weren't too bad either. Especially since they have better coffee than Campos in Newtown, double the size too! And a glass of water without needing to ask. Shame on you Sydney baristas.
At the electronics area of the mall, they had heated marble bed frames! Gonna go back there and take some photos (I was too busy carrying the vacuum cleaner to take any that time).

Coffee better than Campos?! That's sacrilege! Not that I drink or know anything about coffee... That's okay-you haven't slagged off Newtown, so it's okay! ^_^
It must be a better atmosphere over there!
