친구 & Vietnamese cusine~







Pho Mein Restaurant~ 포메인                                  


HI~~**안녕~


During a very very hot Korean day, my friend (언니) and I decided to go to play together ~ we went shopping, hanging around the city, cafe etc...after that..since it was really so hot and we were a bit hungry~ ^^ We decided to try something different from the Korean food: ......Vietnam cusine....


{actually I was a bit skeptick about that kind of food, since I have never tried that kind of cusine, but it was not as bad as it seemed}




We got to the franchise restaurant called: Pho Mein ~ 포메인.
The interior looks very cosy and elegant, made by the black furnitures.
After checking the menu we went for the so called ~ Pho mein's Pho~포메인 쌀국수, even if they have a wide range of noodles soup.







As soon as we sit the staff brought us water *in Korea water is free* and even green tea in a small cup~ but very tasty~

FINALLY WE GOT OUR NOODLES!



홍두깨
Various of Boiled Beef Pho = 10.000won ~7 Euros

The broth was really hot ㅋㅋㅋㅋand the meat was well cooked, not spicy thankfully and the onion that was inside did not was too much strong. The thing that I did not like so much was ..the noodles..their texture was totally different from the Korean or Japanese ones. This kind of noodles were very thick and not so tasty.
Moreover, they also bring you some side dishes like, vegetables, soy, sauces etc...


It was good day~^^&^^

See u to the next post!!!


Haru~하루

안녕~^^))Hi everyone~

In Korea a pretty good pub I went for drinking and eating smth after dinner, during the hanging out is called: Warawara~ it is a franchise too, and u can find it in everyplace in Korea...from Sincheon to Gangnam etc..
In there the prices are averages~ between 10.000won and 20.000won.

They have some good points~

  • You can enjoy time with ur buddies and drink with them without any issues, even though is not the common HOF BAR...
  • It has so many kind of drinking: sakes, soju, KGB, beers, makgeolli, cocktails..
  • If u like cheese dishes u can easily find them in here.




Since it is a pub is compulsory when u go in order not booze but at least one alcoholic drink. Furthemore u will be asked to show ur ID Card.












I have been here some times and actually I found it pretty nice place..even though it can seems a bit noisy bcos of the very loud music.
At the table u can find free french fries, made with sweet potatoes ~ 거고마~ very yummy 냠냠!


ㅋㅋㅋ and then u can order checking the menu.
The best thing of WARAWARA is the drinking..KGB..that is fruit flavoured soju, very very sweet. I recommend it bcos it is not such alcoholic ^^


*Flavoured soju~

6th August, meeting Korean friends!


On August 6th my friends (Fix and Miyu) and I met a Korean friend in Milan.
Before that date, Fix and I had spoken with her on a social network; she had told us that she would go to Milan on August 6th to spend there a whole afternoon (her trip was organized by an agency) so we took the opportunity to meet her :)
The day had come and my friends and I went to the Central station in order to pick her. She immediately recognized us and with a big smile on her face, she came to greet us. Then YounJeong, this is her name, left her luggage at the station “luggage left” place and introduced us to an other girl of her group, Suyeon, met during the trip. So our guided tour through the beautiful (?) Milan could start.
As we sprung from the underground exit, the one in the square right in front of the Duomo (the Cathedral), our friends were astonished and together exclaimed “jeongmal yeppeoyo” (“it's so beautiful” I hope it's correct XD). They were really impressed by the beauty of the cathedral!
The second stop was a short trip in the Rinascente shop and in the Galleria, then we wended to the Museo del Novecento. A really curious thing for me was the fact our Korean friends' appreciation for Fontana's works, which, personally, I don't like (but I'm not the only one XD).
They were incredulous at the vision of “Artist's shit” by Manzoni and they took so many pictures at the last floor where the window faces directly the Cathedral and its square.
Finished our tour we enjoyed a delicious gelato (ice-cream) and while chatting, we took some photos with the polaroid I long for so many months! YounJeong said that her polaroid had cost more or less 10 euros and the tape had had the same price. 
[Note : buying one of these cameras as I reach Korea ]
Talking about the age, I discovered that Suyeon is one year older than me so I started calling her “Eonni” ( well, saying the truth, the first thing that came out of my mouth was “Noona”, mian haeyo Eonni <3)
After this short break we went to the Brera Art Accademy because Eonni would visit it, she is thinking of moving to Italy and study art!
Unfortunately our time finished at the end of the Accademy tour, it was a different afternoon, funny and interesting at the same time ~

Here some of the topics of our speeches:
  • They were stonished because Milan doesn't have skyscrapes, it's completely different from Seoul.

  • Miyu asked them if bullying is common in high schools. She had watched a drama in which a boy was victim of bullying because the plate with his name wasn't in the right place, so she had this terrible (? XD) doubt. YounJeong asked that in schools there are strict rules and sometimes there are also episodes of bullying.

  • I asked information about the military service and both said that for them is kind of sad seeing people they know leaving for about 2 years. Boys leave their activities and/or studies and, as they come home, they resume them from where they have left them.

  • They talked about plastic surgery which is really common in Seoul. In fact, it was created a web-site only about it in order to share photos and information about people's surgery experience.


  • An other theme was the thinnes. Eonni is little and very thin where as YounJeong is pretty tall but thin too for the Korean standards. Do you know CL of 2NE1? Well, YounJeong is as thin as her, she's not the usual skin and bones girl, indeed, she looks so good as she is. Instead, she told us that in Korea she is considered a “fat” person. My friends and I were speechless, she's so thin!!She said also that many celebrities have liposuction done to remove excess fat and she held SNSD up as an example (You don't say?XD)


  • I asked them what was that ice-cream looking thing that I had seen many times before in dramas, the one that the waiters mix with some different flavours and they replied that it was bingsu ~ finally I know its name!















Ah, I've almost forgot to write that we gave YounJeong a bag full of traditional Italian sweets as a present where as she gave me and Fix two little mirrors. Mine represents the “Hyang Won Jung” , the pavilion of the Gyengbok Palace and Fix's one has a kayagum (Korean traditional instrument) player on it ~ thanks dear for the present!









Verso la metà di luglio, tramite un social network, io e un'altra mia amica, Fix, facemmo la conoscenza di YounJeong, una ragazza coreana molto gentile e carina. Ci disse che il 6 agosto sarebbe arrivata a Milano per trascorrervi un pomeriggio (il suo era un viaggio organizzato con un'agenzia) e così cogliemmo l'occasione per conoscerla di persona. Ci organizzammo anche con un'altra amica, Miyu, e tutte e tre andammo a prenderla in stazione centrale verso le due di pomeriggio (dopo aver mangiato un ottimo pasto al nostro ristorante coreano preferito, il Gaya XD).
YounJeong ci riconobbe subito e, con un gran sorriso, venne a salutarci. Lasciò le valige nel deposito bagagli della stazione e ci presentò una ragazza del suo gruppo, conosciuta durante il viaggio, Suyeon.
Iniziò così il nostro tour guidato per la splendida (? XD) Milano... non appena sbucammo fuori dalla metro in piazza duomo, l'uscita proprio di fronte al duomo, le espressioni delle due ragazze furono di meraviglia ed insieme esclamarono “jeongmal yeppeoyo” (“Che bello!” una delle poche parole che, aihmè, riuscì a comprendere >3<). Furono proprio colpite dalla bellezza del duomo e non le posso biasimare ~ La seconda tappa fu un breve giro alla Rinascente ed in Galleria, per poi dirigerci verso il Museo del Novecento. Una cosa che trovai curiosa fu il loro apprezzamento per le opere di Fontana, che a me (ma non sono l'unica) non piacciono affatto però si scandalizzarono, per così dire, alla vista di “Merda d'artista” di Manzoni e fecero mille foto al penultimo piano, dove la vetrata si affaccia direttamente sul duomo e la piazza. 
Finito il giro ci gustammo un bel gelato e, tra una chiaccherata e l'altra, ci scattammo delle foto con la polaroid che bramo da sedicenti mesi; YounJeong mi disse che la sua costò all' incirca 10 euro e che pure il rullino aveva lo stesso prezzo [ Appunto: comprarsi una di queste polaroid appena metto piede in Corea ] . Parlando dell'età scoprì che Suyeon è più grande di me di un anno così la chiamai “Eonni” ( a dir la verità la prima cosa che mi uscì dalla bocca fu “Noona”, mian haeyo Eonni <3) ~
E dopo questa breve pausa ci recammo all'Accademia delle Belle Arti di Brera poiché Eonni desiderava visitarla, lei studia arte e quindi vorrebbe venire in Italia a continuare i suoi studi *-*
Purtroppo però il tempo a nostra disposizione terminò appena dopo la visita all'accademia, fu un pomeriggio diverso dai soliti ed interessante al tempo stesso. 

Ecco qui alcune delle cose di cui parlammo:

  • Rimasero stupite nel constatare che Milano è priva di grattacieli. Ricordo ancora le loro facce, completamente diversa da Seoul!

  • Miyu le chiese se a scuola è frequente il bullismo, questo dubbio le venne dopo aver visto un drama in cui un ragazzo era vittima appunto di bullismo solo perché la targhetta recante il suo nome era mal messa. YounJeong ci rispose che nelle scuole ci sono regole molto severe e che, a volte, si assiste a questi avvenimenti.

  • Io le chiesi alcune informazioni riguardante l'obbligo militare ed entrambe mi risposero che per loro è una cosa un po' brutta vedere magari, amici o parenti che se ne vanno per quasi due anni. I ragazzi però lasciano le loro attività e/o studi per poi riprenderle una volta tornati.

  • Ci parlarono di chirurgia plastica, che a Seoul è molto frequente, e scoprimmo che esiste un sito-web in cui persone che hanno subito interventi chirurgici possono postare le loro foto e condividere le loro esperienze oppure dove le persone possono ottenere informazioni utili riguardo i vari interventi.

  • Un altro argomento fu la magrezza. Eonni è piccolina e magra mentre YounJeong è abbastanza alta e di corporatura “normale” per gli standard coreani. Avete presente CL delle 2NE1? La mia amica me la ricorda, sono magre allo stesso modo, non è il solito stecchino pelle e ossa, anzi sta proprio bene così! Invece lei ci raccontò che in Corea lei è considerata una persona “grassa”. Vi giuro, rimanemmo a bocca aperta! Lei è così magra!Ci disse anche che molte celebrità ricorrono alla liposuzione per eliminare il grasso in eccesso e ci fece l'esempio delle SNSD (non mi dire XD

  • Gli chiesi che cosa fosse mai quel dolce simile al gelato che avevo sempre visto nei drama, quello che i camerieri mixano con differenti gusti e mi dissero che si trattava di bingsu ~ finalmente so il suo nome!


~ Ah, stavo per dimenticare che regalammo a YounJeong un sacchetto pieno di dolci tipici italiani mentre lei ci portò uno specchietto:
il mio raffigura il padiglione “Hyang Won Jung” del palazzo Gyengbok mentre quello di Fix una suonatrice di kayagum, uno strumento musicale tipico della tradizione coreana ~
