on saturday morning jacki and i were up bright and early and on our way to itaewon (foreign part of seoul) to the international clinic. because we're traveling through various countries in southeast asia, we need to get vaccinated for certain diseases. we got vaccinated for typhoid fever, japanese encephalitis, and got some malaria prevention pills. quite an exciting morning. since we were already up and out, we wandered around itaewon which is quite different during the day than night. we relaxed over a coffee, went to the used english bookstore, (what the book?) where we each got a book to start our travels, and then found a great little place called "the flying pan," where we ate an american style brunch.

"the flying pan." we're not sure if they meant to call this place, "the frying pan," because it's common for koreans to mix up the letters "r" and "l." in the korean alphabet, "r" and "l" are the same character.

all-day brunch...brunch is something koreans don't do, and i can't wait to eat brunch or just a real breakfast when i return home..

i had "the flying pan special," which was a poached egg with sauteed mushrooms over pesto toast with spinach, a tomato and hummus...very very delicious.

on sunday, jacki and i headed back to insadong, a traditional korean street to pick up some last minute souvenirs and just take it in one last time..we, again, got some coffee, and also enjoyed a great snack of tteokbokki...i will miss this snack..

mmmmmmm.....spicy rice noodles and fish cakes...
