Convenience store ramen is basically a Seoul food experience if you eat it in the right setting

Everyone knows Shin Ramyun, but I feel like visitors don’t always realize that in Seoul, it’s not just something you make at home when you’re lazy.

It’s kind of its own little food experience depending on where you eat it.

My favorite version is still Han River Shin Ramyun. You grab a pack from one of the riverside convenience stores, cook it with the automatic Ramyun machine, get a mat, and sit by the water. It’s cheap, spicy, hot, and somehow tastes 10x better outside. Especially around sunset when everyone is just hanging out, eating, drinking, and pretending Monday doesn’t exist.

Another underrated one is PC bang Shin Ramyun. Sit down, play games for an hour, order it to your seat, and suddenly you understand why people stay there forever. It’s not fancy, but it is very Seoul.

Hongdae late-night Shin Ramyun is also elite. After walking around, watching buskers, doing coin karaoke, or staying out too late, a convenience store Ramyun stop just makes sense. It’s the kind of meal you don’t plan, but you remember.

Dongdaemun has a fun indoor version too. There’s a Nongshim Ramyun shop inside Hyundai City Outlet Dongdaemun where you can use the Ramyun machine without worrying about the weather, so it’s an easy stop if you’re already near DDP.

I found this map with a bunch of Shin Ramyun spots around Seoul, from Han River stores to PC bangs, markets, Hongdae stops, and a few random local-feeling places:

Not saying Shin Ramyun replaces a proper restaurant meal, obviously. But if you’re visiting Seoul and only eating BBQ, cafes, and famous market food, you’re missing one of the simplest local food rituals here.

Hey guys, so I am working with partnerships at a growing B2B which focuses on connecting payment providers to potential merchants and vice versa.

There are 2 parts to our ops, first is tracking partners, the products they offer and to what type of business/any other requirements they might have. Second is tracking leads which are looking for said partners and which products they’re mainly looking for, etc.. the 3rd part is actually the onboarding of leads with the partners we work with, which usually is a lengthy process.

Its also possible that one lead will be onboarded with multiple partners as each one might be offering something else. The problem is most CRMs I’ve looked at mainly focus on securing the deals, which doesn’t really cover what I need fully. I currently use both Notion and Airtable, but they’re not CRMs per se, and although I’ve built a workflow that kinda works, it’s not perfect, and I’d rather migrate to something more reliable and easier to keep up with us as we scale.

My dream feature would be to import a lead into the system and to immediately be able to tell which partners could fit him. Then be able to track the whole onboarding process with that partner. It might be too much of a niche use case but our business model is not unique either so hopefully there is something out there.

Any advice or suggestions is welcome.

I find myself having "nothing to wear" crisis day in and day out; the problem is because I have too many items, and the choices are too overwhelming. There is something that i am mimicking my husband's approach to his wardrobe. Mind you, he is dapper and he cares about what he wears to work and also seems to be very well put together.

The way he does it is that he would have 7-10 items staples for a particular category, say dress shirt. These are his go-tos. Then he would have 5-10 blazers and so on and so forth. The colors and the material vary, and he would have several ways to style on top of these staples.

To start, I started using a few high-quality neutral tops as the anchor. Basic, higher quality material that's extremely easy to style. One of which is something that I recently discovered, the Eco-SkinKiss pieces from OGL (a wood-pulp viscose), I liked the first piece that I bought because of how comfortable they are and they come in multiple colors. The first one I bought was black, then I bought two more colors. Because the fabric has a matte, high-end finish, it works under a blazer for work or just with denim for the weekend. So in the morning, I have one less thing to think about.

Next up I am working on my blazer/ jacket collection. I am still looking but I want something that has that Loro Piana feel to it without having actual wool. That's something I am still trying to find right now.
