About Seoul

But ugh, what pisses me off? The hypocrites! Politicians sneakin’ in, then preachin’ purity—makes me wanna paint their faces red! *giggles* I’d waltz in, tip the girls, and watch the drama unfold.

I’m browsing through some handmade crafts when I spot this beautiful wooden bowl. I’m like, “I gotta have it!” But then, the seller tells me it’s like a million won or something. Okay, maybe not a million, but still too much for my cooper budget. I just laughed it off.
