OK, so
Korean beds are like sleeping on a somewhat more comfy box-spring. I like firm beds, I mean my futon back home
is super firm, but these are a little too much.
I can sleep on them pretty fine.
But I wake up with really sore shoulders and arms. I need to get my extra cushioning for it
sent.
Anyways, due
to the cold and hard bed, I slept kinda crappy...So I was going to sleep in since
I hadn't really all week. But low and
behold I'm wide awake at 6am...After a bit I got bored so I decided to head to
MyeongDong and get some shopping that I needed to do out of the way.
Finally did
though!
Got to
MyeongDong and the book store was closed...Sad...But got to the street and got
cheered up by the shops and memories. It
looked just the same, other than I'm pretty sure there are twice as many makeup
stores then there were 2 years ago!
Every block there is a Face Shop, Nature Republic, Tony Moly, Missea,
and Skin Food! I was pretty good avoiding
being dragged into one by the offers of discounts and free things, but Tony
Moly won be over. Damn you JYJ!
Ran into so
many Japanese people in MyeongDong! I
surprised the lady helping me in Face Shop by answering her in Japanese, she
had just helped some Japanese girls and I defalted into Japanese. Got my moisturizer, but the toner has to wait
for a paycheck...
Also ran
into Music Korea. And I did a great job
holding myself back from buying HyeSung's newest album and Teen Top's new
limited edition album and poster...*twitch*
I need kpop on my walls again!!! They're aren't complete...!
Headed back
to my apartment to drop off my stuff and get some foods. And I ended up taking a nap, since I only got
4 hours of sleep. And woke up with
enough time to freshen up and leave to meet up with Leora!
I can't tell
you how amazing it was to see Leora again!
It's almost been exactly 2 years since we met in HongDae. And to celebrate we went to binge on meat and
soju at the same samgyeopsal restaurant we first went to! The only thing that would have made this more awesome and memorable was if Taylor was there with us.
So much meat
and soju! It was amazing~ Finally when we decided we'd been there long
enough we left and headed back to the park to see who was performing. There was a hiphop group performing when
Leora noticed a familiar face, the Mekju guy.
So we bought a bottle from him and got pictures with him. Cuz you can't just buy a drink from this guy,
he puts on a whole performance when you get something from him.
Yeah, my camera sucks at night...
Another band
was playing and we sat around a listened to them for a bit before rushing to ZEN Bar. We were lucky enough to get a seat and sat around again talking.
I was going
to leave around 10.30 to get the last train rather than pay $30 for a
taxi. But throw that idea out the window
almost instantly. So the options were
get a taxi to Leora's place cuz it was close or just stay in HongDae all
night. The all night won out!
Got bored
again and decided to walk around again. Our
Kim HyunJoong chicken restaurant was gone and made us sad, so we had to get
some chocolate from the 7/11. Eventually
we made it full circle and went into Club Naked, cuz women could get in for
free till midnight. Hung around dancing
for a couple hours. Got a dance partner
for a couple songs and watched this awesome Korean guy getting his groove on!
Finally it
was Norae Bang time! Found a nice little
place, that was SO much cheaper than the one we went to the last time in
HongDae. Originally we were just going
to sing for 2 hours, but we got close to the end and had just over an hour till
the trains started up again, so we added another hour to it. I sang so many Shinhwa songs. And did a lot better on most of them than I
thought I would. Yo! was so much easier
than I ever expected it to be and T.O.P might be my new song, for Korean at
least, got 100% on it.
Finally 5.15
came about and we made our way to the train.
Got on the first one. And finally
around 7, I stumbled into my apartment.
