Back from Asia too!

I just got back from a 3 week trip to Korea and Hong Kong. I was in Seoul with two of my college friends and we trekked all over the city. We saw museums, temples, palaces


and of course did lots of shopping and eating. One of the weirdest things we saw on the street were these....

...hot dogs encrusted in french fries on a stick! Where do they come up with these ideas...

Since it was super cold there (well, as cold as it is here in Boston) we were constantly looking for places to duck into for some warmth. We came upon a Board Game Cafe which apparently is popular in Korea. You pay by the hour and you get to play any of the boardgames (and they have alot of boardgames but most were in korean) and drink coffee/eat snacks at the same time. We played an intense game of Jenga. See how my friend stared in amazement as I deftly maneuvered the block out.

After Seoul, I went to Hong Kong to visit my relatives. I don't have as many pictures from that part of the trip since I was busy stuffing my face most of the time. The food there is always better than I remember!
