a couple of weekends ago a couple of us checked out seorae village in seocho- a small french enclave in seoul.
you know you're in the village proper when you look down and the sidewalk has changed to the colors of the french flag.

the area is packed with places for brunch, wine shops with cheese, and cute cafes. . . . it's centered around a french school that populated the area.

in jungang there's a transgender bar that had caught our attention- close to the bar we attend for quiz. (the transgender bar sign isn't yet lit -directly above the Misdirection sign)

we wondered, is Misdirection the name of the transgender bar? how great would that be?!

is Misdirection the name of another bar on the same floor as the transgender bar. . . with a coincidentally appropriate name? how great would that be?!

well, we had to find out!

took a trip to the Seoul Arts Center- a place i should check out more often. i was looking into an impressionist exhibit (monet - picasso). . . yet this was the most interesting thing i saw in a quad outside.
