I'm not sure how common spring break field trips are at other colleges, but this is the first time I've ever heard of or participated in one. Not that I'm complaining because going to an Asian market is always an awesome field trip idea.
There were a ton of traditional things like kimonos, wooden swords, and tea sets.
Then there were the modern things. The makeup, skincare, snacks, and magazines that you could only find on line were all over the place.
Gyaru heaven!!!!
I normally pay $22 for a Ageha on ebay, but here they were all under ten dollars!! To say I felt cheated by ebay is an understatement at best.
Of course the manga stores were very well stocked with both English and Japanese volumes.
I don't think I've ever seen so many manga volumes in my life actually.
There special picture books for not only the manga but also anime new and old.
You can't shop in an Asian market without purchasing ramen. And if ramen really isn't your style there are a ton of noodles that you could try. For me the large selection of ramen was a highlight of the trip.
The Bento recipe books were great. All the bento were soo kawaii and simple to make. I plan on using some of these recipes soon so be on the lookout for my post on them.
Ramune is a super popular drink in Japan as well as here in the states. I had no idea there were so many flavors.
Seeing all the Japanese makeup brands in person was like a dream come true. I bought a ton of new lashes and skin care products.
I don't plan on dyeing my hair at the moment, I had fun seeing the different shades of Palty. I think I would try a nice soft ash grey shade the next time I dye my hair though.
The food was the best. There was such a huge variety of Japanese, Chinese, and Korean cuisine. In the end we decided to get Korean!!!!
We ate at a place called MAMA House and everything was really good. I decided to try a famous Korean dish called "Duk Bo Ki". It's really popular in the Hongdae area. Duk Bo Ki, is sweet rice cake in a spicy sauce. The contrast between the two was awesome!!
For the EXO fans here, check out the boys in Hongdae enjoying some Duk Bo Ki. A quick rundown if you can't understand- Kris doesn't want to eat the spicy food because it isn't "his style" but Baekhyun won't take no for an answer. Kris said the same thing previously about chicken but things changed once he started eating.
That's all for now I hope you guys enjoyed. What kind of field trips did take this year? How was your spring break? Have you tried any new foods lately?
