A little over a week ago, while I was grocery shopping, I came across this drink called Sunny 10.
Normally I don't buy soda, and if I do, it's pepsi... but the face on the can spoke to me -- well actually he sang. So I bought it and took it home and kept him in my fridge between the donkatsu sauce and butter.
This is T.O.P from Big Bang (a 5 guy group that is very popular in Korea).
Then Jongsoo found TOP and got jealous and made me drink it so it wouldn't be there to greet me. Lol.
This one was orange soda. Actually a pretty good orange soda. So good that my next grocery trip brought home the other two flavors, which sported these guys:
Taeyang (purple) and G-Dragon (yellow). Grape and pineapple sodas. The grape was fantastic (baby), but I didn't care much for the pineapple. It was a bit too strange of a flavor. These two guys are also in Big Bang. (they need 2 more flavors so I can have the whole band!)
It's one thing that I really like about Korea (i mean, i like a lot of things, but this one jumps at me every day) - the prevalence of beautiful and popular people endorsing any and every product imaginable.
Just a walk downtown and I see the faces of actors I know on ads and buses and things. It makes things feel familiar. And actually, haha, makes me want to try the product. Super effective advertising. ><' Lol. Actually I wanted to try the Cantata coffee because there's a commercial right now with an actor I like. XD I feel so shallow.
I wish I had time to show you the cutesy sketch books, stickers, and everything I've bought - but yes, they're all cute. I bought hard candies yesterday for my students - Hello Kitty. (did i mention hello kitty is everywhere? i've even seen at least 2 or 3 different hello kitty toilet seats. i kid you not.)
Korea is full of bright and cute.
So I'll leave you with some pictures of my hair.
