Selca Moments

No, I’m not talking about a place in Croatia but rather a term coined by South Korean netizens. Selca is a combination of two English words together, self and capture.

One of the nonsense we allow Raimie to splurge each month is buying Japanese magazines which is either the Terebi-Kun or the Terebi-Mag. And he has started collecting Kamen Rider, Super Sentai and of course Ultraman carddass that he got as free gifts from these two magazines.

Unagi Treat At Sushi King

Another visit to Sushi King for us last week. It’s funny that we’ve pretty much avoided coming to Sushi King or any other kaiten-zushi place after our holiday to Japan last year but now that our trip is looming, we’ve been eating Japanese food again at regular basis. Raimie wanted to go to Sushi King so that’s why we went there again
