IETF59@Seoul

On my way to Seoul

Haneda Airport (International Terminal)

Compared to its Domestic Terminal or Narita, it is quite small like a local airport

Seoul Subway

Although momose-san presses 700-won button at the ticket vending machine, it actually costs 800-won from Gimpo-Airport to Euljiro-1ga. (Sorry for my misdirection...)

Yoshifuji-san, a self-styled McDonald critic:-), says it appears similar to US McDonald, but tastes like Japanese McDonald. But for me, there's no difference:-)

Domestic rice juice "A-chim-haes-sal" (Morning Sunshine)

Very sweet beverage, like milk poured to cereals.
According to the explanation on the can,

• its manufacturing method is patented in US and Korea (Korean PT# 029482)
• no sugar, no artificial spice, not artificially colored
• 43% of this drink is a juice extracted from korean rice(more than 10Brix sweetness), and 30% of this drink is a juice extracted from korean unpolished rice. The rest of this drink is vegitable-cream, maltodextorin (an artificial sweetening) etc.
• 100g of this drink has 50Kcal, 11g of carbon-hydrate, no protein, 0.5g of fat, and 0.02g of sodium.
