To get to that pearl shop, get off the metro at Jongno 3-ga and take exit 11 to ground level. Walk toward the park and turn left on the street in front of it, then take an immediate left followed by an immediate right. Now you’re on the right alley; the shop’s on your right, about half a dozen shops down.

I meant (standard US coffee) + (milk & sugar), so maybe our definitions aren’t that far apart.

Who knows – maybe our favorite recipient might wear something to Thanksgiving? At any rate, it’s similar to what she wore at the wedding.

…”standard US coffee with plenty of milk and sugar” — for historical interest, this is not what I grew up thinking coffee was. I know that these days coffee is more confection than beverage, but my parents and most of their friends drank their coffee hot and black. Maybe that’s why I never learned to drink it, at least not until 8 a.m. Saturday chem labs, where room temperature was not standard but more like 30 degrees (F), and black, instant coffee made with distilled water boiled in a Florence flask over a Bunsen burner brought our freshman bodies to life.

A blowfish restaurant? Two days in a row? Sounds more dangerous than the atomic bombs.

When do we find out what you may or may not have purchased at the jewelers? With pictures?
