Interesting Media Pole @ Gangnam, Seoul

Gangnam is a commercial area in Seoul. What makes this place interesting is you can see many of good looking Korean walking around :-) Another main attraction here is on the technology side. Samsung has erected 22 media poles along the Gangnam U street. What is so interesting about this media pole is that you can send email, take pictures, find information, play games, read news paper and it also act as an advertisement medium. Each of these media pole is 12 metres tall and it looks pretty cool especially when all of the media pole were synchronized for display performance.


They have 22 of these on the street.

Rakuzen @ Subang Jaya

It has been a while that I wanted to try the food in this restaurant. And today is great day that someone is going to give me a treat at this restaurant. Operated by Super Dining, it has many branches nowadays. If I not mistaken, this outlet is the first.

Taste:8/10(Delicious. The food here is good and fresh. Of course the food can't compare with the taste and standard of Japan but for Malaysian standard, its still among the best. The donburi is nicely done and taste good).
Price:7/10(Moderate. Price which is reasonable as the portion is big and you don't need to further add additional items to make you full. The food shown below cost around RM140).

Unique street market of Ameyoko @ Tokyo, Japan

Ameyoko is a busy market street near Ueno Stations. The name "Ameyoko" is a short form for "Ameya Yokocho" (candy store alley), as candies were traditionally sold there. Alternatively, "Ame" also stands for "America", because a lot of American products used to be available there when the street was the site of a black market in the years following World War Two. I am amaze with the variety of items sold here. Fresh seafood, clothes, cosmetics, handbags, dried food and even leather products. You can also get all the Americanized and England leather jackets such Schott, Vanson, Lewis, Aero, Bates and Lost World here.


Ameyoko street is just opposite Ueno station near Ueno Park.
