Seoul so far has been really lovely. We took a day trip down to the textile museum and otherwise have been busy shopping. I've bought a suitcase as well, to start putting new clothes in. It's just a bit difficult to start repacking now, since I'm still having to pick outfits for the day from my purchases.

Eishirou is currently out doing some stupid morning training thing like he has every day, because apparently even on holiday, he can't take a break. He's very good at sneaking out of bed in the morning without waking me up though and I still don't know how. It lets me have a sleep in and some private time anyway, so it's nice.

The bath is this hotel is fantastic and I'm continuing to build up my plans for renovating the bathroom in my family home at some point. I'm not completely sold on the benefits of a full length mirror in the shower though.

Eishirou - don't forget to bring me back my coffee please.

You strongly overestimate how difficult you are to remove in the morning.

The little park we drove by yesterday has a lovely view of the sunrise, just in case you wanted to know. I found a place that serves coffee to go, so if you have a specific order let me know now before I reach the counter.

Be dressed and properly ready to go out when I’m back, I need breakfast and I refuse to get tempted into buying any of the overly sweet garbage they sell here just because you skip meals.

[legally_blond]

Normally I wake up when people try to move me though.

I'm not getting up for sunrise, Eishirou. And just black coffee, I'm really not that fussed.

You sound particularly grumpy this morning. Is the fact that you're tempted by sweet pastries and whatnot annoying you?

[avant_goya]

Perhaps the average person in your bed simply lacks my expertise.

Your loss. Unlike me, you won’t be able to say anything about Korean sunrises in summer. I got you a medium sized cup, I’m assuming you’re not so far gone as Yagyuu-kun that it won’t suffice.

The oversight I made in this was underestimating how long you sleep in and thinking I’d wait for you on breakfast. Some of us actually need sustenance to live.

[legally_blond]

You're implying that it requires a deal of skill to get out of bed without waking me, then.

You could always take a photo for me, you know. And a medium is fine, I just need enough to wake me up.

... And you want to eat breakfast with me so badly that you'll starve for a few hours? How sweet. I see you're working hard on the mothering title today.

[avant_goya]

... I think I’ll keep the secret method to myself, actually.

My phone’s camera would not do it justice. I’m also disturbed we have the same coffee preference. This is an alien experience.

There’s very few opportunities for me to ensure you have adequate meals thrice a day. Don’t expect to escape from that while on vacation with me.

It should look like a mirror but not really be a mirror, so people will think that they are vampires.

[legally_blond]

What, you don't like looking at yourself while wet and naked in the shower?

[xyzai]

At least I'm not undecided about whether or not I like to.

[legally_blond]

Oh no, I'm fine with looking at myself while wet and naked. I just don't need a mirror in the shower to appreciate that. I mean, I suppose if you were sharing a shower with someone it could be fun, but I like my shower time to myself.

If you can sneak awake from tall, dark and pastry hating, there's a cafe called Mr. Holmes' Bakehouse that is meant to have divine donuts and cruffins. So I've heard. (>o>)"

[legally_blond]

He's not that tall.

I had a look, it's not really somewhere I can sneak to by myself, unfortunately. I might try and drag him there for afternoon tea, we'll be in the area for shopping in a couple of days.

[toutsweet]

He is a little tall. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[legally_blond]

On the taller side, but not really that tall.

[toutsweet]

I mean what do you consider tall?
Face it Hirakoba, for shorties like us, it's not exactly difficult. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[avant_goya]

What is your estimate of being 'tall' these days?

[darkfoal]

I don't know how Eishirou manages to train even while on vacation.
I train every morning too but a vacation is a vacation.

[legally_blond]

Exactly. It's not that difficult to take a break from things once in a while.

[avant_goya]

Since you lot appear to have forgotten: I am a professional athlete.

[darkfoal]

Even professional athletes need rest once in a while Eishirou!

[avant_goya]

The US open is starting literally this month. I’ll take some off days in Okinawa to conserve my energy, but just because it is summer vacation doesn’t mean it’s off season yet.

[legally_blond]

Yes darling, we know. It still doesn't mean you have to wake up at 4am.

[acchimuitehoi]

A full length mirror in the shower? It doesn't seem very practical since it would fog quickly~☆ Unless it's heated, I guess.

Have fun in Seoul. ☆ Eat all the food, it's amazing, there.

[legally_blond]

It seemed to hold up fairly well. I didn't really have that hot of a shower though, it's a bit warm for it. I suppose it might be like singing in the shower always makes you sound better, maybe the logic is that looking at yourself naked in the shower makes you look better.

I'm being bullied into fairly regular meals, so. The shopping is amazing, I'm having lots of fun.

[saypassion]

Only one suitcase to speak of so far?

If nothing else, the benefit of having a full length mirror in the shower allows you to ensure that nothing on your body seems irregular. When we look at ourselves in mirrors in other locations, we are often distracted by other things going on - people milling about, our to-do lists, things like that. However, when you're in the shower, you really don't have anything better than let your mind wander as the physical motions of bathing are muscle memory. That's why it's often recommended that women check their breasts for abnormalities during that time.

There's nothing better than a good bath~ ♥ Glad you're having a good time in Seoul, though. Any particular recommendations so far if I wanted to go visit?
