Turning Tricks In Hongdae

Me: Don’t play with fire. Sam:

Existential Crisis Sunday!

‘Eye’ see the title of this post brought you here, but what we actually did was far more exciting… kind of! Having originally misconstrued what we were actually getting up to, we headed to Hongdae to check out The Trick Eye Museum. And let me tell you, you need to get the fuck over there!

“The Trick Eye” (as no one else calls it, but now I’m going to) is an AR museum with 3D optical illusions and shit. You pay $15  per person, download an app to make the art come to life, and then you take a shit ton of pictures! Obviously, you cannot go to the museum alone, because well you kinda need a photographer around! The quality of the pics that you take on the app is pretty shitty, but hey, at least you get to see things like dinosaurs breathing fire!

Standard dinosaur that probably existed

Once in a lifetime historical sighting

Basically what you see IRL and what you see in pictures are two different things, so if it’s time to update that Tinder profile (bitches will think you’re artsy and adventurous af) or

Nothing Like Some Balls In Your Face, Amirite?

I’m not going to lie to you, when my friends suggested that we go to some place and get covered in balls, I really wasn’t that keen. After all, I’d given this up years ago. When I realized that what they had in mind and what I had in mind were completely different things, I was in! We headed to a “ball pit cafe” in Myeongdong, Seoul. I expected to be met with bounce houses and trampolines and shit, but I couldn’t have gotten it more wrong. We went to Urban Space– a stunning location serving up incredible cocktails and plenty of Instaworthy moments.

Sup Myeongdong

 

This fish-shaped bread is served hot and is usually filled with sweet red bean paste, however, this store had a custard option too.

If you’re going to do Myeongdong, make sure you do it fucking right. After all, you didn’t come to Korea to do things like shop in department stores and eat indoors. Although there’s plenty of that shit in Myeongdong, you want to be on the streets eating everything in sight! If authentic Korean street food is what you want, Oreo Churros are what you’ll get (they’re actually pretty good tbh) anyway, there’s a lot more to it than that!

America, Why Are You Like This?

 

 

There’s a lot going on in America right now, but nothing is more pressing than this! Here’s a list of the things that bothered me in America…

Dude, You Should Go To El Paso

It’s your first trip to America. HOLY SHIT, HOW EXCITING! You picture this land “from the movies” and have the obvious places you’ll visit mapped out in your head- New York, LA, Chicago- the big cities, right? Well, as a highly educated, orange man, who has the best words once said, “WRONG!”.  Those were my thoughts initially anyway, but thots are fleeting as we know all too well. Once the course of my love life took a detour, so too did the destinations on my trip to The States. After a weekend in California, I headed to Texas! And guess where I went!! Actually, don’t… you won’t guess it… I was off to El Paso. If El Paso isn’t on your list then get it the fuck on there! This hidden gem is a must see for everyone and here’s why!
