Where has all of the world's power gone?

Asia. The answer is Asia. One day I will have to remember to go and take pictures so I can visually explain this post. Collin, Ripali and I went walking last night, and man-oh-man, we thought we had stumbled upon the Nevada strip! Everything here has florescent lights and blinking signs, and you go over, excited to think that it's a really cool club or bar, and it turns out to be an Easy-Mart or something. Very odd, and though it pains my environmental heart to say it, I really like it. It's just so... foreign!

Last night I had three gastronomic firsts. The first first was real Korean Bibimbop, which was my favourite meal here so far. It was basically lots of fresh veggies (which have been so far severely lacking) with spciy sauce and sticky rice, as well as side dishes. It was delicious, and only 5,500 Won ($5.50)!

The second was my first taste of Soju, (Korean vodka) and this was real-fruit Soju. It tasted sort of like a daiquiri, but you could get it in pineapple, kiwi, mango or strawberry, and it was the size of a half-litre of wine, for only 5,000 Won ( $5.00) ! Delicious!

Lastly was a little shop called "Purely Decadent" which it was indeed! A completely dairy-free soy icecream store! I had chocolate brownie, and it was divine, although the most expensive item of the night at 3,000 Won ($3.00) Understanding the conversion yet? (Just knock off three zeros)
