Having arrived in the RoK in summertime, there were adverts all over the place for patbingsu, which according to Wikipedia is a popular dessert comprised of ice shavings and sweetened azuki beans (known as pat).
In our research (well my research – I’ve had some time on my hands), we discovered that according to CNN, the best patbingsu was at Meal Top in the Hyundai Department Store in Apgujeong.
Investigation ensued.

And compared to the one at another place, it was delicious.
Patbingsu @ Meal Top – DONE!
We had a terrific rest of the day including this Pocari Sweat moment:

We did catch up with Pat & Nicole for a shmy around Dapsimni, finding a very cool hanbok and some bbq.

But the highlight of the day was not my milkshake at Butterfingers, but it had to be Jenn’s excitement at finding Rooney’s new outfit on the streets of Gangnam:

And then it was time to head back.
Catchin’ the bus, headin’ home.
I may have an exciting announcement about my work situation shortly.
