Anyways~ here is an overview of my week in Seoul. I'm going to try not to write too much and just give a brief description + pictures. Pictures speak a thousand words after all.
♥Saturday, Sept. 18th♥
I just chilled around my apartment until a friend suggested I go to Seoul on Sunday rather than Monday. I stayed up all night cleaning and packing.
♥Sunday, Sept. 19th♥
Wake up at 7a.m. and head to the bus station. Catch the 9a.m. bus to 동서울(East Seoul)bus station. Arrive around 2-230p.m. and figure out my way to Seoul Station, the major KTX station in the middle of the city. Once at Seoul Station~ I have to figure out how to work the pay phone. Who knew that if you just wait a minute there are English instructions right after the Korean. *shruggg* Called up señor Choi and was all "so are we hanging out or what?!" Haha- I'm nice like that. So I guess he was a little ways away because he told it would be forty minutes before he could get to Seoul Station. Ughhh~ so he said to meet half way at Sadang station. Being the awesome navigator I am, I had no problem getting there. (_ _;;) Except for getting off too soon and having to wait for the next train! (>w<;;) So then I'm there and have to call up Kevin again because we failed to decide a meeting place. We find each other quickly enough... or rather he finds me. Haha~ He then takes us to the CoEx mall. Yay malls! We chill there for a while.
♥Monday, Sept. 20th♥
Wake up and head out to Itaewon to run an errand or two. I had a few glitches, but that's okay. Everything got worked out sooner or later. I kept calling Grace all morning, but she didn't answer her phone. (>o<;;) As it turns out, she slept in that morning and then her phone was out of minutes so she could only receive calls. Eek! And I kept calling from pay phones so she couldn't message me or anything. Kevin and I decide to go to Taco Bell (YUM!) for lunch. While we're there Grace texts Kevin!!! I had called her the day before on his phone because he's cool like that. (^^) So she and I talk and then I made her talk to Kevin because I didn't know where to meet up with her. They decide on CoEx mall! Even though we were there yesterday. Doesn't matter~! (^___^) I got to see Grace! She and I had ice cream then starbucks. Hehe, Kevin just followed us around and kept silent most of the time. Sorryyyyy, Kevin. (^^;) Grace and I caught up (not enough!) but enough for that time. ~ Grace had to go and catch a bus though! (T.T) She was going to see her family so it's okay. (^_^) Kevin and I just hung out for the rest of the evening. Looked at cars we can't afford. (; __ ;) Had dinner and visited a cute, cute cafe~!
Kevin at Taco Bell and the Jack Black look-a-like we saw!!
♥Tuesday, Sept. 21st♥
I ended up staying up ALL night. I sat in a 24hr Burger King eating fries and sipping on a coke. I wrote in my journal, read a book and people watched. Very interesting. Tuesday~ oh, Tuesday. It rained so much that day. Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain and more rain. A car drove by and sent a wave of water to drown me and my belongings. (; ___ ; ) Luckily the new clothes I bought that morning didn't get wet since they were in a plastic bag. I checked into the Hongdae Guesthouse 2.o - Yellow Submarine, the hostel at which I was staying for two nights. Went back out when the rained paused for a bit, called Kevin and we went for food. Yay because I was bored . . . (-___-")
Tea'Us in Myeongdong where I hid from the rain for a bit.
The last two pictures at in the Konkuk University area? We were at a Lotteria.
♥Wednesday, Sept. 22nd♥
Wednesday was the actual holiday day. Most of us at the hostel were like... what to do today? We figured most places would be closed. I went and walked around Hongdae for a couple of hours. Saw some pretty cool graffiti here and there. Saw a YELLOW♥♥♥Nissan 370Z! I was thrilled. \\\(>w<)/// There were quite a few people out. Then I went to Myeongdong and shopped with the HUUUUGE crowds of people. Haha, and I thought it was going to be a quiet day. Nope, nope. (^_^)V It was fun~! Then I went back to Hongdae. Ended up going out to eat with the hostel peoples! Yummy, yummy food. Lots of fun~! The people are so unique~! We all ended up staying up really late because a girl wasn't checking in until 2a.m. so the guys in charge had to stay up. Sander was like STAY UP WITH ME. Lol, of course everyoooone stayed up. Orla and I ended up giving Tom a make over. ...while he was sleeping. Hehehehe
♥Thursday, Sept. 23nd♥
I was originally planning to leave on Thursday, but I ended up staying. After raining and being cloudy all week~ Thursday had gorgeous weather. It was a good, good day. (^^) Yepyep. Kevin and I met up at TechnoMart which is this huuuuge shopping center. Mostly electronics. It made me very dizzy. (@_@) But on one floor they have this Sky Lounge where you can go outside and get a great view of Seoul! It really was a fantastic view!~ Kevin took some nice pictures for me... Because I fail at taking pictures. (= =;;) Whatever. Then we went to Lotte World where we sat at Smoothie King and just... sat there. Hahaha~ It was fun, though. After that we went and walked around a little bit, ended up in a Homeplus that had bunnies! They were super cute and superrrrr soft. We walked around a bit more, sat on a bench and guessed the ages of people walking by us. (^^;) Quiznos for dinner~! It was soooo satisfying. I really wish Gwangyang had Quiznos. Oh well. Once we finished dinner we headed to. . . the Han River? I think so . . . It was amazing! The bridges were all lit up and the lights of the buildings across the river were so pretty! Lots of people were there, too. (*^o^*) We also went into this museum-like building/thing and looked at a few pieces of work. I liked the light displays. :) We walked so much that we were hungry againnnn. (>w<) I had takoyaki and Kevin had noodles~~~ then we had 순대 which is sausage that is filled with noodles instead of meat. Stupid Kevin kept telling me that it was weird things like cat or dog or brains! (; _ ; ) I had to look it up later just to make sure it wasn't. (>_O) Hehe, other than thatttt~ I was super glad I stayed Thursday. It was definitely the best day of the whole week. And probably one of the most fun days ever! And also one filled with a lot of bullshit. C'est la fucking vie.
