Seoul - Shopping

-
I love open markets rather than big malls, mainly coz you can walk on the street just checking out local shops and good chance to try street food. If you have some time, you must try it atleast in Asia..

Korea is famous for its cosmetics..One of the places where you should get them for good deal is Myeongdong Shopping area in Seoul.. You can see all the cosmetics shops in Korea(MISHA,SAEM,FACE SHOP etc.,) are lined in same lane right next to each other giving away lot of sample if you buy something.

People like me who doesn't fit in any Korean size , international shops like ZARA,H & M and forever 21 are blessing in disguise and all these shops you can find them here.

If you have little time, you can also check out cultural center in M plaza next to forever 21. They have classes to make lot of Korean stuff like painting, cooking etc.,





Dongdaemun shopping street is my next stop , this place is heaven for shoppers. The shops open till 4am, the atmosphere gets live after it gets dark. Every mall has cloths, hand bags etc., I loved just walking in this area coz of its liveliness.
                   




Insadong for Souvenirs , If you are somewhere near Bukchon village I would suggest you to walk to Insadong..its great for Korean Souvenirs. You get anything Korean from K-pop to Masks to key chains to everything Korean to take home. I would go just for ambience, like I said I love street markets even though I'm not a great buyer love to be part of so many people.

Lost and Found myself..

-

Rule of thumb for a blind date is to trust the process and to go on a date with no/zero expectation. You do not know who you are meeting until you see them. You cannot check their FB profile or see their stories in Insta. You go there with open mind. If you are lucky, you get a wonderful experience and stories to tell your grand children. Mine was no different, I must say I was always lucky with my blind dates. I have had so many experience of this. However, it was not like I didn't have a choice. Like most of you I too had a conventional way, but choose another way.  I'm talking about my blind dates with this world. Would you dare to go on a blind date with this world? I would. I certainly would. I love the idea of exploring the world , a new place without a map/GPS in hand. I just love the idea of embracing the local culture without reading a travelogue. I just love to taste local food at a street shop in a small alley 'coz local people eat there. I...

Solving business problems – what is your team’s approach?

Whether it's a business problem or a technology problem, the first step is to find a solution. Am I right?  I don’t need a Business degree to recognise it's not the right way to solve a problem; surprisingly, many teams follow this approach. Often a solution is reached before defining a problem. You might argue “Why would an organisation spend $$ without analysing the problem?”. I agree with the intention, but I believe getting clarity on the problem will save time and avoid complications in other business processes, time, money, and resources in the long run. I have noticed instances where businesses quickly resolve problems without knowing the downstream effects on other processes, which can lead to further issues later. In some cases, standard processes have workarounds because no one had time to go back and fix it. Here is your guide to solve problems in an ideal way, The first step is to  analyse and identify the problem  - Explore thoroughly to get to the core ...
