I just returned  from a week in Korea.  Not much time for clubbing or shopping but I did get to enjoy some good food.

It doesn't take long walking around the streets of Seoul to notice that Korean women and girls take their fashion seriously.  No outfit would be complete without the perfect heels. The variety of tights was amazing.  In the U.S. they seem to come only in black and tan.  Who knew such options existed. haha



Korean fashion differed from what I saw in Singapore.  While you still see the high end fashion boutiques, there was much more locally produced fashion in Korea, or so it seemed to me.  

But the most fascinating thing to me was the shopping malls.  Try visiting Designer's Club, Migliore Valley, Nuzzon, Gwanghee Fashion Mall and you will find miles and miles of women's clothes and barely a handful of men's clothing store in sight! LOL

If you need greater variety in your shopping, jump on line number 4 from Dongdaemun Station and go to Hoehyeon Station.  Take exit 5 and you will find the country's biggest traditional market -- Namdaemun Market in the very center of Seoul.  It has a little of everything, including children's clothing, kitchenware and local and imported products.  Most shops have their own factories and make the products themselves, offering very good prices.

I spent a week in Singapore in September. I was there for work but had a little time wander around the city. I was amazed at the number of high end fashion malls. I've never seen so many stores for Gucci, Hermes, Chanel, Armani, etc. in one city. Even more than I've seen in Tokyo or Hong Kong. If you're in the market for high end fashion Singapore is the place to be.

After the shopping, Singapore is notable for the food. Seafood, Chinese, Indian, Malaysian, western, if you want it you can find it. I love spicy food so I was in heaven. My evenings in China Town and Little India were the highlights of the trip.

No trip to Singapore would be complete without a stop by Raffles for a Singapore Sling. If you haven't tried one I highly recommend it!

Cheers!

Returned from Geneva, Switzerland today. Yesterday took the train to Montreux for the Jazz Festival and visited Chillon Castle. Took Thursday off from work to visit Lausanne and do a tour of the vineyards. A little rainy but still well worth the trip.

Gray is neither gay not straight, nor is it either black or white. It is somewhere in the middle.
The thing about being gray is that there are many shades of gray.
