Woke up at 8am and talked with Phill on Skype while prepping for the day. My grand ambition is to take the train to Seoul Station (a 70 minute journey one-way).
I was finally going to meet Jonggul’s friend, Shin-hye, and give her the gifts for herself and her sister. We decided to meet at 3pm and I left my apartment at 11am and took the line 1 subway straight shot to Seoul Station. Of course it was raining the whole day, yay Monsoon season… :/ I listened to my iPod, more Pimsleur ‘Learning Korean’. I got to Seoul station around 2pm.
I went to the huge Lotto Mart to kill time; it was the biggest one I’ve seen yet. Then, I went to the ‘Beautiful Store’, a tiny thrift store chain. I purchased a few items for fewer than 26,000 Won.
I walked around the area for a bit and laughed to myself regarding the SC2 endorsement by Mc Donald’s. (It’s a huge deal here, you cannot speak ill of this game in Korea).
I met Shin-hye and we ate lunch together at Bulgogi Bros. and she told me about her time living in America and recommended some places for me to visit. She was very kind and very cute. We parted ways as she had to head off to work and I wanted to look around some more, aka window shop.
Then, I had Cold Stone Creamery; again, I’m just too happy it’s here in Seoul.
I ate the same delicious Honey Nut Yogurt, soooo yummy! I finally took the train home around six and I got home at 7:40pm. I did my laundry and giggled at my washing machine as it sings to me when it finishes the cycle.
It completed my evening. :p
Looks gloomy in Seoul :/
