My laptop
After our lunch with Edward at the Korean Restaurant, hubby and I went to Sinchon to meet a certain guy named Scott, he has a computer for sale a Dell and a Toshiba but we are too late to have the Dell because it was already sold.
And now here’s my new own laptop TOSHIBA, we also went to Techno Mart in Sindorim to buy a router and UTP cable so we can both use the free internet in our hotel. I am very eager to have my own computer and I can’t wait for the Dell or HP notebook anymore which hubby wanted for me.
I have been busy since yesterday installing programs on my own laptop.

Bugolgi Hotpot and Bibimbap
Yesterday after getting check-in to our hotel, we went to Wangsimi Station to eat. We let Edward choose a restaurant he like since we owe him by driving us here with his new car.
He brought us to a Korean restaurant where I got my Bugolgi Hot pot. Bulgogi is probably one of the top three most famous Korean foods that is loved by not only native Koreans but also by anybody and even by those who are trying out Korean food for the first time. It was a yummy one and freshly cooked, they’re going to serve it to you and you’re going to cook it on the gas stove in the center of your table.
Ingredients: thinnly sliced ribeye cuts (beef), carrots, onions, green onions, dried sweet potato noodles, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, 2tbps soy sauce, 1tbsp sugar, 2tsp sesame oil, 2 tsp chicken base, 1 tbsp rice wine
This one is Bibimbap, my hubby and Edward had this as their order. Bibimbap is a popular Korean dish. The word literally means “mixed rice.” Bibimbap is served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with namul (sautéed and seasoned vegetables) and gochujang (chili pepper paste). A raw or fried egg and sliced meat (usually beef) are common additions. The ingredients are stirred together thoroughly just before eating. It can be served either cold or hot.
Vegetables commonly used in bibimbap include julienned cucumber, zucchini, mu (daikon), mushrooms, doraji (bellflower root), and gim, as well as spinach, soybean sprouts, and gosari (bracken fern stems). Dubu (tofu), either plain or sautéed, or a leaf of lettuce may be added, or chicken or seafood may be substituted for beef.For visual appeal, the vegetables are often placed so that adjacent colors complement each other.
Best Western Vision Hotel
We are now staying at Vision Hotel or Best Western Vision Hotel. This is one of the most popular hotels here in Seoul, South Korea. We book our hotel accommodations few days ago.
The hotel offers great rooms with a wide array of room facilities. The hotel is clean and good, it is also few minutes walk from and to Wangsimi station. Other than the bigger mall at the station there’s also a shopping mall just located at the back of the Hotel, where you can see a lot of restaurants to eat.
Our plan is to stay here for only two nights before moving to Yongin and then moved again to Icheon to our new apartment. Just few hours ago we book our additional three nights of stay here online, because we thought of too much things to carry and the hotel is good. Why we book it online when we are already here in the hotel? It is because it is much cheaper to book online rather than to walk-in.
