Shoes and kimchi

Tired but happy.

Dragon has finally managed to spend a normal day at home, and will even be able to catch the final fireworks display with us tonight. As for today, we wanted to hit the town with Chu for the last time before she leaves sunny Vancouver. I hadn't really planned to buy anything but ended up buying two pairs of shoes and three books. Although summer is still in full bloom over here and will probably continue for at least a month or so, most shops are starting to display autumn lines - which of course means that all summer stuff has gone on sale. So naturally I had to browse a bit, and found absolutely magnificant pair of little black suede shoes with a red embroyded dragon from one of my favourite shoe manufacturers, Rocket Dog (their autumn collection is better than it has been in ages).

Then Virgin had a 50% sale on everything but CDs and DVDs so I picked up couple of books, and we made a slow stroll down Robson while stopping to browse now and again. We ate lunch in one of Robson's numerous Korean restaurants - bound to be a good sign that we were the only Western people in there. Our waitress was really nice though and explained to us what different menu options meant - they did have some English text on them but dishes with mostly Korean names meant little to us. Food was good though and we got enough of it, and Chu got to taste some kimchi which I've been talking about for ages. And I'm indeed developing the taste for the killer gabbage.

TV shows the games from Helsinki, and it appears to be raining there. We're heading for the beach to watch the fireworks.
