#05 Seoul Night Walks

This is a bit of a mixed up bunch of moments in one post, mostly because I didn’t bring my camera out the night we went to see some DJ sets, and on the flip side of the coin, I didn’t record audio some of the time I was taking photos. So this is a kind of compilation of night moments in Seoul. Starting with this one!

You see… Jay has this brilliant instinct when it comes to experiences, especially experiential shopping trips. So acting on a whim he took us to ADER, a sort of experience/gallery/shop where we waited in a line then entered a private shopping experience complete with space pod dressing rooms, a private cafe, private purchasing counter with sound proof glass where no one is present except the employee and yourself, and ending in a giant gallery chill room, not to mention giant mirrors, water fixture, and enough spectacle to make Rūta’s head spin. And spin it did.

don’t get the wrong picture though, we were floored. Just so impressed and overjoyed with all the effort Korea seems to put into literally EVERYTHING from shopping, to eating, even simple things like benches you find along a blank wall in a museum, most everything was meticulously commissioned, designed, artistically thought out… without insulting the rest of the world too badly, we are ALL doing it wrong and they may be the only ones to do it right in the past 200 years.

Now, jumping back a bit to another night (my birthday night actually) you’ll find us walking through the streets of Itaewon from an early DJ set, to a little later one at Bolero. Press Play

As you can hear at the start of this, it was a rainy night in Seoul, we walked through the streets, people everywhere, clubs everywhere, and even Cafe’s open and ready for customers, every club door you pass blasting it’s personal taste in the hopes it might entice you to enter. Thank you for taking us around these nights, it was truly a treat for us, we’ll never forget it.
