business(prestige) class in Korean Air
 |
| curry chicken meal... banchan and salad served first |
prestige (business) class in Korean Air to US from Korea is nice because you get to relax for the long 13~14 hour flight.
An honest review of them... would be that, they have the prettiest flight attendants(yes they do!), but their quality is not consistent (in service/food).
One time their steak was rubbery. I would never order steak again.
Another time, I got a "trainee" attendant that made constant mistakes... not getting my food on time and her service was not as professional.
The last time I flew with them, they had "chicken curry meal" that came with banchan & salad (cheese/tomato) served first. The chicken curry was okay (nothing to write about), which came with a side soup (and I think it was seaweed soup). I don't remember it well, but enough to remember how strange it was and it must be for the non-Koreans to have curry meal with seaweed soup. Strange combo (esp with the salad!)
I also do not like how they bow and say welcome/goodbye to each passengers personally (individually). It makes me feel uncomfortable. I would rather be left alone than have 2 attendants bow and put on that forced smile (awkward!). And they can never seem to figure out whether to speak Korean or English to me. It's been 50/50 ^^
However, their seats aren't bad at all. You have to get used to them -because it's not like a real bed, but a flat chair. I don't really pass out or sleep as long as people would assume. I use that time to just mediate and to try stay in the time zone I am going to. It's helped with jet lag so far. Esp with almost half a day of difference when to US - Korea.
Until next flight.. we'll see if they get better food. BUT their cookies were pretty good last time!! I'll give them that :)

Exo is bringing back the 90s feel with "Call Me Baby"
I can't believe I am listening to Kpop again. And for that, Exo. Yes, Exo. I never got into their music, even with the famous "growl" song.
I'm in my early 30s jamming to their newest song, "Call Me Baby". Age ain't nothing, but a number!
Their music video and song is bringing me back the good feeling of early 2000s(Nsync?!) when I was in high school...or even back to the good old Kpop days along 1997-1999 with the solid Kpop boy bands like HOT, Shinwa Fly to the Sky..etc.
I love the whole video.
The dance, music, and even their hair and outfits.
I really adore and love this song + choreography!

I was "not loving" Kpop recently(for a while actually) because it was getting to "dark"(illuminati?) and too sexy for my taste. It didn't make me feel "happy feel good". And that's what music is supposed to do right?
I hope SM sticks to this concept and music for Exo :) I find that recent Kpop has been really too westernized - there is a lack of "Korean" pop music - but more like "Western pop music in Korean". I really miss hearing all the old style Kpop feel music. It's been hard to find it lately. But Exo's newest song is making me feel optimistic about Kpop again.
This could be a classic song for them that one can listen to years and years later. As a matter of fact, I still listen to many old Kpop groups, like SES, Fly to the Sky, FinKL, As One..etc., to make me feel "good" and happy :) I listen to my old Kpop jam whenever I need that happy energy.
Still to this day, some of the earlier SM music sounds really great. What happened to those producers?! 1999 was the golden Kpop era.
Anyways, I hope SM sticks to making more "feel good" music like this. I'll be watching out for more Kpop now.
BONUS:
my forever feel good happy jam: SES - "I Love You" MV (1998)
when Kpop was actually really really cute innocent and pure and happy and stuff... sniffles...

bittermelon in Korea
Bittermelon and Jack.
Korea uses it mainly for medicinal purposes.
There are a few Filipino dishes that turns this bitter vegetable to an edible dish =)
However this was a seasonal purchase, since I bought so many ^^
