Things really aren't so different here

We went out and about in Seoul today. There is a mall here called COEX. I just love it there. It reminds me of home. With a few exceptions, of course.

While you guys at home have Orange Julius, we here have...
It doesn't taste like la crapeau, it's just spelled that way.

You have Sweet Tomatoes Salad Bar, we have...
Jug Jug is not just a salad bar, but a beer bar as well. Because what goes better with salad than beer?

We have fashion Don'ts, just like Glamour... We just post them on the humble blog of an overweight expat homemaker (moi), not humiliate them in a national magazine, thankyouverymuch.

Granted, we don't have Chicago style dogs on the street. But we do have street food! By the way, this vendor is located in Namdaemun, and the squid was very fishy. No good.

As you can see in the background of that last picture, we also have McDonald's. Mickey D's dominates the planet. Although, here we cannot inconspicuously blow our diets wide open...We just don't blend in so well (if you can't tell, that's Mike ordering up some more cellulite for his ass).

We've even got Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup...It's just that we have to buy it from Fancy Food shops.

You Chicagoans have the Field Museum. We have... ...the Kimchi Field Museum. A whole museum dedicated to, well, kimchi. 'Nuff said.

Also familiar to you Chicagoans, Giordano's. But don't come hungry......unless you're a goat. Goats like to eat jeans, right?

Some things here are really much better here. For example, manufacturers love to attach free stuff to merchandise at stores. Random stuff. Like......eye drops with a CD. I don't get the connection. Probably isn't one, in fact.

But one thing remains constant......'tards attract 'tards. This guy was so sweet, too. He put a big bumper sticker right on our stroller. He had some trouble with it, but was persistent. Freakish, but sweet. Very, very sweet.

Now, for news of the truly weird: Roman has a modeling gig tomorrow. Underwear. Yes, my two year old is an underwear model. I've stooped to a whole new low in whoring my kids out. I hope the pay is good.
