What's do you do when its cold in Seoul? The ideal solution would probably be having some meat and drinking soju but sadly I am not entitled to that. My notes are disappearing from wallet at an alarming rate. So I can only blog while enjoying the makeshift warmth of my comforter around my chair.

The original plan was to head to Myeongdong or Insadong or Apgujeong. But I think the weather marred our plans and we had to postpone our shopping trip and settle for something nearby...Megabox (a shopping mall cum cineplex) near Ewha University.

Caught in the rain. Me looking real sheepish, drenched and shivering.

After battling the rain and strong wind, we arrived at Megabox. Megabox is kind of similar to Singapore's Cathay. The human traffic was pathetic due to the inclement weather. We were approached at the entrance by this lady, who explained earnestly that she was representing her company to promote some credit card called Rainbow Sevendays, and was 'pulling' people to take part in their promotion. We told them that we were not locals and they insisted that we could participate and so we went up to stage after some cajoling.

Ariyo excited. Some clownish looking guy resembling some breadtalk chef who ran off with flour on his face.

We were supposed to try our luck by choosing a key out of 5 to unlock a mystery box. If it fits, the prize would be ours to keep.

The host exclaiming at the size of Ariyo's..oHh

and he managed to unlock the box!
Winning himself a free shirt and a water bottle!

Crystal, Linda also managed to get their prizes too. Apparently, the manager told the host to 'hint' to us which the correct key. Being the first one to try, I was too suspicious and I thought that they were trying to prevent me from getting the prize, when in fact they were holding the key out to me. That was a typical case of being a smart alec. Anyway the nice manager (the girl on the left) gave me the freebies too. :)

Some mini booth/set in the cinema for people to pose around.

After walking around, we managed to catch a little of amini-concert that was held for the opening of a new mall. They invited some small time stars, rappers and models to do some catwalk. Anyway, my photos were really terrible with the rain and 3 minutes of battery life left.

Some fashion show. The screen was too bright.

Some rappers. Quite hyper but seemed rather comical to me. Haha.

Some singer with a voice that sounds like Tei. Too bad I dunno what's the singer's name.
He seemed rather popular, considering he had some hardcore fans that were screaming out loud for him.


My battery life in wearing out too. Time for bed.
