Tech(no) Mart

I recently went on a date with Korean taekwondo master/police officer to Tech Mart (sometimes called Techno Mart). There are two locations in Seoul. We went to the one right by the river. This place is amazing- it's 9 floors of electronics. Different sellers have their own section. You can buy computers, video games, CDs, toasters, and curling irons. In fact, I bought a Vidal Sassoon curling iron here, and it was 20,000 cheaper than the ones at Home Plus, which are unfamiliar British brands I don't trust. On the ninth floor are restaurants, and we ate some Japanese food which gave me a stomach ache (miso soup, pork cutlet, salad, weird tiny fish covered in red pepper sauce, and kimchi- ok I don't think the last two are Japanese at all) and got some ice cream, and then went to the "Sky Deck" or something to admire a really beautiful view of the river and some bridges. It was really cold, though, so after taking some pictures we went back inside and watched the English movie of his choice, "Unstoppable", which was about Pennsylvania hillbillies, so I felt right at home. I would have preferred to see The Social Network but the movie was OK.
