Some things only happens in Korea...(well almost)


Here some of the funny/weird stuff or anything that got my attention over the last weeks...

What's this?  This one I love, very clever, it's on the table of almost every restaurant , use this button to get service from the waiter.
Yes, it's a banana donut.  ok but not so delicious.
Found in a store, from what I understand this is use by everybody, your put your phone number on it and put it on the car's window. Since its a very populated city, its not easy to find parking spot and people park everywhere all the time, blocking often others,  they display messages like , sorry I needed the spot, call if you need, don't be mad I'm leaving soon....
Hi-tech toilet in my university




This café even comes with a cat hehe :P
At a fast food, they gave me this... a pager...Hey! that`s not fast food!!!!
At the wellbeing café:  anyone for a fride rice or a side dish of mene? ^^
At the Norae Bang (karaoke) 2 floors under mine, one morning they got beer delivery, they just left it there .
Coming back to me house one night I met a Buddhist monk bring back a shit load of McDonalds WTF lol
Go Chez Gras and get fat lol
no comments needed lol
Here they add calcium even in the ketchup haha
Granny visor in action on the subway 
a kind of bell in the toilet, this one is an etiquette bell, to make the flush noise so you don't disturb the neighbor, but contrarily to Japan they don't really use it here. 

What's that? it`s a tongue inspector with magnifier and a case to inspect on the go ! :)
And that?  Nose and neck slimmer. wtf..
the other kind of toilet....
lady at the university who wrap your books for you :) yay!
Another mystery, another bell...They have this button inside every toilet at school...when I asked that say if you need some help... I guess Korean girls are so small they must get stuck in the toilet from time to time...

a kind of drinkable yogourt
There have vending machine everywhere , this is taken from my street corner, its the convenience store I pass by everyday



Yup, two elevator next to each other but not going to all the floors... got tricked once... 

my first time to see a café with a volkswagen west falia inside, AND two ETs hugging into a radio flyer.  Note: one of them is listening to music lol
In University:  They ask your opinion about the G20 while you pee... Are Koreans that shy to express themselves?

on a school bldg....are you?
one cool bike
Starcraft matchs on TV
Saved my life during a flu, BITA500 (vitamin C)
Yes yes you read correctly,
 here soju is only 1000W in the supermarket so about 0.88$ CDN for a bottle of 20% liquor
