You'll love how you fell everyday...

Spent Saturday shopping for furniture. As always my Ji Gong got a good deal.
She has a unique negotiating technique which consists of dragging the process of buying something out so long the the sales guy loses the will to live and agrees to whatever demands, and in the case of Ji Gong - Discounts, are being requested.

Highlight for me was this brochure and it's English language mistake.

You'll love how you fell everyday...




We managed to buy a bed each for the kids (one pink one blue) a bed for us, a wardrobe for one of the kids rooms (as one is built in) A GIANT wardrobe for us. A dressing table, a bedside table, a rice cooker unit with a cabinet door that turns into a table, a computer table with a shelf unit, a computer chair, a Dining table and chairs...  I think that was it... oh, of course mattresses for all the beds.



The table we wanted, but couldn't afford

A heated bed with a surface like the floor (hard) point?

Some wardrobes

We finished the day off with an great meal in a BBQ restaurant, with lots of steak and pork... and beer!



 Sunday we went to Sunae Lotte department store, Harvey and I had been craving pizza so we had that as well as some sushi! We went there to meet a friend from Cambridge at who owns his own investment bank.  He has offered to help me connect with Seoul based people. He is a very nice guy and it is good to know well connected people, especially in Korea.  As no where is it more true that "it is not what you know, it is who you know!"




Erin is becoming Quite the Poser... HA HA
