Self-Esteem


These are some insoles that are quite easily found throughout popular shopping areas in Seoul. They are meant for guys who want to add a few more inches (since girls can wear heels I suppose) and are referred to as "self-esteem". Apparently a Korean comedian had done a skit on them where he referred to them as such and the name caught on. His catchphrase was something along the lines of, "So how much self-esteem do you have today?"I think.

One of the highlights of that day. Also this amazing snack called Tornado Potato (I might have made up that name), it is a spiral cut potato speared on a skewer and then deep fried and coated in yummy powder. Like potato chips on a skewer but thicker slices so potato chips with a bit more substance.
