Gardens in Seoul

Gloria has always wanted to travel to Korea especially its capital Seoul and to walk in its beautiful gardens and parks but she is holding out for a 50% discount on the airfare to Korea. She smacks her lips thinking of all the Korean BBQ and hot pot she is going to eat there. All that is just a dream for her now. In reality, she is in the post office and has just purchased an express post A4 envelope which sets her back RM4 to send three documents to her nephew after making copies of them. For lunch, she can't decide what she will eat. She eyes the blueberry muffins in the bakery shop hungrily but decides she won't have them with a cup of latte as she is feeling fat lately. Her jeans is hugging her bottoms like a natural layer of skin. She then walks past a guy eating Famous Star from Carl Jr but a look at the price on the menu - RM8.35net caused her to shake her head in disbelief. It is just too expensive for a burger from a fast food joint. Then she smells the porky aromas wafting from people enjoying bowls of pork noodle with pork offal (liver and kidneys and yucky bits from pig's innards). She shuddered, she can't imagine herself eating those. So she goes home and ate her 3-seeds sprouted bread (sesame, sunflower and flax seeds) with virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar and finishes off the meal with red tea (Hong Cha).
