Asia Tour Day 5: Chicken Soup for the "Seoul"

First full day in Seoul was filled with food, food and more food. (Yes, it was filled with work, too, but you know how I don't/shouldn't talk about that.) Almost missed the meeting time this morning since my very high-tech beside dashboard (aka Star Trek-esque command console) failed to execute on my alarm. I quickly stuffed down some hotel buffet breaky and headed through the underground mall to get to our Seoul office. For lunch we had a quick bim bim bap in a restaurant in the food court, before I located a 7-Eleven and found azuki (red) bean Haagen Dazs--yum! More meetings later, it was finally time for dinner and I strongly championed us getting samgyetang, a Korean ginseng chicken soup where they essentially stuff a whole (mini) chicken with sticky rice, ginseng, and other yummy things and stew the darn thing until the meat fell off the bones. (see illustrative pic above) It was definitely what I needed after constant traveling and the windy Seoul weather. A quick pit-stop to BR with Sarah and a mint-chip ice cream cone later, I was a happy camper. So no, I didn't get to see any of Seoul, but I guess I've been here before so that's okay. I'm just happy that my tummy is happy. :-)
