know i've been lagging with the blog posts. it's just hard to find time to just sit, think, and type. we've been jam packing our days to make the most of our short time here abroad. i barely even have time to sleep haha. i'm actually on the bus right now on the way from incheon airport to tokyo - day seven … so, for whoever is counting, i'm officially two days behind. but don't worry, i remember everything. so here goes - a short (maybe kind of long-ish) recap of our last two days in korea!
DAY 5:
our first day without our korean guide, aka billy. we decided to take a day off from sight seeing to shop at dongdaemun, the city for thrifty buyers and rude ass sellers lol. so, we started the morning with a nice refreshing visit to the local atm machine … then it was off to dongdaemun!
place wasn't very classy. was sort of set up like a normal american mall, but there we way more floors and waaay more sellers. each vendor was either the owner or a direct representative of the brand ... so haggling was the name of the game. we weren't korean though, so it wasn't easy. amy and ron were pretty much the only people to get anything. lots of escalator time up and down though.
a lot of dongdaemun was closed on monday during the day (when we went) so we decided to go again some other time and hightail it back to our first home - hongdae! we just ate, shopped, and walked around our favorite city haha. here are some pics of ron's face:
sums of the day pretty good lol. found batman smoothie at the korean jamba juice.
met up with billy later in the evening to go korean karaoke ... and of course, eat and drink. i don't really karaoke much, but i have to say ... definitely the best singing sesh i have EVER had haha. street food we ate after was pretty bomb too.
sooo behind with my bloggin right now, so i'm just throwing up pics lol. wheee!
