Yesterday I surfed on over to the KEB Internet Banking site and was pleasantly surprised by the new feature. OK, it might have been there before, but I never had to worry about it. KEB provides an application specifically designed for Mac. No worries about which browser to use. I just hope the security is built in and, well, secure.

Seems Windows users still have to go the browser route, and not just any Browser Internet Explorer. Shame. Linux users, and I’m one of them as well, are out of luck.

Man holes EVERYWHERE

Man Holes EVERYWHERE


Here is one of those “Korean” things that I just don’t get. The roads in the cities are usually in good condition and this particular piece of road is less than a year old, so you would not expect to dodge your way to the end.

Here’s the thing...this stretch is pocked with manholes for, well, who knows?! I was unable to mark every hole, but there are 14 holes just in view. Two of the holes are quite literally 3 cm from each other.

Multi Dryer.

27/365


This is my dish dryer. You pop your dishes in as you finish watching them. When you are done washing, you closed the window, press the big round button and the dryer will go for one hour, the first with the infra red (?) light on

This is also very useful for drying wet pillows. It is summer now and very humid. That means I sweat a lot while sleeping and have to wash my pillows at least once during the summer. Problem is that they don’t dry because of previously mentioned humidity. I got the idea last week to stuff one pillow at a time in to this dryer. The pillow barely fits and it takes a few cycles, but it is better than the mouldy smell from a few days of drying outside.

I wonder if it will work with towels as well?

The Coffee Bun in Korea

A friend of mine made a comment saying a friend of her (confusing writing) brought her a Coffee Bun from Roti Mun in Singapore. Apparently this is the original Coffee Bun, and I looked that up because I saw Roti Mum in the Phils.

Some of you might have noticed that we have these buns in Korea as well. We even have a Papa Roti right here in Two Thousand City. Papa Roti! Now, I KNOW Koreans don’t consider Roti a normal word for bread, so it always puzzled me where they got this name from. I think found the answer.

Roti Mun is from Singapore, where Roti is a normal name for bread among the Bahasa and “Indian” speakers. I saw a Mama Roti in Seoul, so that might just be the original pathetic attempt at “not using the original name” here in Korea. Papa Roti, then, might just as bad an attempt at “not using THAT original name.” At least Yogerpresso does not have any claims on their coffee buns.

Vacation...done!

Three weeks in total, one in Pretoria, one in Bandung and finally one in Manila.

Food in South Africa is always good, no matter what you eat. Italian, Indian, German, fast food, whatever, it is all good. Importantly, I was able to eat things that I am unable to eat in Korea.

Bandung and area again served up some seriously good eats. Food in Manila was a tad disappointing. The food there was cheap, but it also tasted cheap, and there were few meals that was just to salty for me. Because it was my first time in the Phills, I am going to write this of as bad luck.

In Indonesia I finally got to see ram fighting. It was awesome. No blood, almost no injuries, and no betting that I could see. Just good clean fun for the whole family. In the Philippines, in contrast, I saw the lethal version of cock fighting. Rooster with blades on their legs fight to the death while onlookers spend large amounts of money trying to predict the winner.

I still like Indonesia, but will not be going to Bandung again next year. I have to go somewhere else for a change. Sorry, Dian, but maybe you can join me somewhere else? Manila was good, and I would like so spend more time there. Maybe next year, maybe not.

All that is left now is to sort, edit, describe and post the photos. From an initial 3000 odd photos, I’m down to about 850. Many photos were burst shots or blind shots in the car, bus or train. Same with the ram fighting and cock fighting. I hope to delete at least 100 more while I go through for editing and end up with no more than 500 edited photos. 300 photos would be ideal.

See Yah.
