“Modesty is not my specialty. DalĂ­ is only good because the other painters are so bad." -  Salvador Dali 
Lincoln in Dalivision
Dali painted a portrait of a naked lady back looking out through a window but when I took the picture, it was pixel into a portrait of Abraham Lincoln.


With the conducted tour guide it was so interesting and he dwell into the genius of this artist.  Every aspect of the artwork has a meaning.

The Average Bureaucrat

The Discovery of America by Christopher Columbus

The Hallucinogenic Toreador
This was one of Dali's masterpiece which took more than a year to complete.
To me this was an amazing piece of art, it was surreal to me upfront.
Right at the bottom is the dog.
Slightly up is the bull.
The faces of the matador is within the shades of green and red.

The Three Ages

An amazing exhibition...

Cheong Guk Jang - fermented bean soup

Seoul - Lunch with Youngjin was at a traditional soup restaurant and it was crowded.   Youngjin asked me many times Cheonggukjang "ok", I said ok not knowing what to expect.  I have tried many weird and smelly good in Seoul, so I was very prepared.   My first time tasting Cheonggukjang and I like it. CheongGukJang 청국장 is fermented soybean soup aka Stinky soup.  Actually, I like fermented food and the smell does not put me off.   I like fermented food because of the many health benefits and also we have them here in Singapore - tempe, belachan, fermented bean curd (which I love with my porridge), chincaluk, etc.. very hot Cheonggukjang  I always buy danjang paste and bring home to make soup.  I understand that they are the same but the difference is Cheonggukjang beans are uncrushed and are fermented for a longer period of time.
