New Toy! Samsung ST50!
Well it had to happen sooner or later… I needed a point and shoot camera. The 5D Mark II was just too much to carry around, plus it gets in the way when you’re trying to take public transportation. Oh and it also paints a target on me saying, “steal my shit!”… nope, didn’t want that. Hah. Anyways, I actually bought a camera backpack from iPark mall here in Korea… it’s a brand I’ve never heard from before but the quality is amazing! I’ll have to do a full review on it but I don’t know where else you can buy it. I’ve searched the internet for the brand but nothing… oh well, I’ll do that in the next post. For now, I’ll show you some images of my new small camera:

Sorry for the lack of photos, but I’ve been hella busy lately. Gathering up my things for Hawaii/Los Angeles and all the last minute stuff with my current job has been pretty hectic. I’ll try to hit up a more in depth review on all the other new toys I’ve acquired since my last post. Other than that, Happy Halloween! (er… soon)

I was listening to some random radio music and decided to open up photoshop. These are my results:
No commentsNamsan: Seoul Tower

A trip to Seoul Tower is another way to unwind here in Korea. Being stationed here, I get to see a lot of cool things and this is one of the highlights of staying here. At the base, there are tons of shops and small eating areas perfect for chit chat. My favorite had to be the Cold Stone Creamery that was strategically located at the entrance. Just thinking about it makes me want some more ice cream…
Before going up there, I actually hit up a small cruise that went down the Hannam River and saw this building looking thing that shot out tons of water… I thought it was quite interesting.
A little close to home… Manila and Los Angeles. Always a pleasure to visit both areas here and there.
This was also located inside the tower… turns out you can buy “tiles” and write whatever you want on them and post them on the walls. I heard they are on the ground floor as well. Perfect for a date or couple?
Great visit to the tower… hopefully I visit it again before I leave. I recommend the visit, but the walk up the hill might kill a few people, haha!
Camera Used: Nikon D60 w/ 18-55mm Kit Lens

>>AUTO: Andrew’s Fairlady Z Part I
It’s been about a year and a half since I’ve been home to my car. In about a month, I’ll be back to my beloved 350z! Here are some photos of how it was before I left and how it looks currently. I also have some extra parts laying around that I have to install… i.e. 06+ headlights, Amuse front diffuser, custom harness bar, and other parts…
Biggest change when I left was the installation of the Amuse front bumper. Tons of air flow from the front opening and it’s still waiting on the sexy Amuse front diffuser. Another addition was the Seibon carbon fiber hood, but it was plagued with fitment issues that clashed with the bumper so I had to get remove it:
Also with the Works Bell short hub, NRG quick release 2.5 (red), and Nardi Deep Corn 330mm steering wheel:
This is how the Z looks now. Dropped with Stance GR+ coilovers, added some Bride seats, and some new rotors:
Sigh. I can’t wait! I will also be moving to Hawaii and this time I’ll bring my car with me… Korea without a car just isn’t the same.
Thanks to Oliver and Brian (My brother) for the photos of my car!

No comments>>AUTO: Jay’s Fairlady Z Part II
Diggin’ through some old files and I wanted to share some more of Jay’s 350z. Part I only had the front shot from inside the Hyatt Hotel garage. This opens up more of the car’s angles and with a more vibrant look. Hopefully another photoshoot will be scheduled with the new 5D Mark II I recently acquired!
Thanks again Jay!
No commentsOut of Time! Random Vimeo Video
I randomly was going through some VIMEO footage and ran into this… EPIC. Totally random but it has some of the best acrobatic moves I’ve seen in a long time. This makes me want to hit the gym and lay some mats on the floor to work on some flips. Maybe tomorrow?

1 commentMercado Brazilian Steak House in Seoul!
What can I say about Mercado’s? Amazing. The quality and the quantity of delicious steak is unmatched here in Korea! Out of all places… Seoul had to have the ‘diamond in rough’. So where do I start? How about from the beginning…

Before headed out, we had to fill up on some ’soju’. It’s the Korean way! Well… maybe just the drunk American way. Haha. Anyways… Taking a cab from Itaewon to Apujeong (Where Mercado’s is) takes about 30-60 minutes; depending on the traffic. As soon as you get there, the restaurant is located on the second floor.
