Personalized Advertisement in Korea

We received an advertisement from the GS supermarket in seoul. I agree that that wold normally not warrant a blogpost, however this was quite special in the way that it was personalized. This advertisement contained 10% discount coupons for the items we most frequently brought at GS. In the order of frequency, so ham was on place one, followed by milk, eggs, laundry detergent, chicken meat, cornflakes, cheese, butter and kim. 

I didn't really decide yet if i like that (are they also saving which brand of condoms we prefer? when do they delete these data? do i want my landlord to know what we buy?), but I'm quite fascinated. The woes and wonders of modern technology....



Graduation Day at SNU

Monday, 29th of august was the graduation day at SNU. Congratulations to all graduates :)
Apparently most graduates want a picture with the front gate in the background. Also the remaining campus was crowded like hell.

Caffè Pascucci at SNU

We suffered for the last year...  i had to walk more than 100 meter to the next coffee shop. No, seriously, i think there are no people who complain about to few coffee shops in the SNU main campus, but more variety is always a good thing. So now we have also a Pascucci at SNU. While the prices are quite high, students get a 20% discount, which makes it still not a cheap coffee shop but at least acceptable.
The ice-cream is quite good, fluffy-creamy, not like the baskin robins ice-cream which is ice-.....  ahem yes just ice ^^
also do your self a favor and try the gelato honey toast... delicious :)
Gelato honey toast. Served with vanilla ice-cream and chocolate or caramel syrup 

I really like that building style :)
