Annyong! Apparently I didn't get to blog at all while I was at South Korea.
It's the best country I've visited so far.
In 12days I visited Seoul, Gyeongju and Busan. I don't know if I can include Incheon, cause I arrived at Incheon Airport lol.
All of them brought me good memories.
The first day in Seoul certainly wasn't the best, cause of the rude people I met, even Eric was a bit cold and harsh I thought.
But things get better each day, eventually I started to love this country. Maybe one of the reasons is I enjoy being spotted as a foreigner, so being treated differently. Throughout the journey, most of them were pretty nice to foreigners especially when you try to communicate with broken Korean language. And I realized that, the less developed part of the country treat foreigners much better than the capital city. Maybe they are less exposed or maybe they are just better in nature.
I landed in Busan on the second and third day. Indyhouse is pretty amazing, much spacious. I love Gwangali Beach better than the famous Haeundae. Its peaceful and sided with the happening street, filled with nice bars and cafes. I love the street so so much. I could spend every night just hanging on the beach opp the street. For both nights, we spent it in the live cafe. The dude singing live in the cafe is SO GOOD. I love his voice so bad. I've never heard anything live so pure so good. And the lady is equally good and entertaining. I love the people in the cafe. As I said, South Korea turns greater pretty much in Busan and after. I love exploring the country. After two nights in Busan, we were in Gyeongju. I guess it's a huge, quiet and peaceful town. If you are hoping for something happening, definitely not in Gyeongju. It's preeeeetty dead at night. I supposed there is a lot of old folks in this town. But there were lots of breathtaking sceneries and old Korean structures to see. It's a great place for people who just wanna relax and enjoy life. There, I met the most casual 'Korean' I've ever met. Peter, he was born in Brooklyn, NY. Well, not a true korean there. haha but he was really nice and just humorous. And TJ is nice too but too bad I couldn't see him at night and the next day. I think he went to Seoul. Not to forget, I met a Viet girl whom stayed in Singapore for many years and was exploring South Korea before going to the US for her masters degree. Met a couple of nice people in the hostel too but its a pity we didn't leave further contacts, except for the Sarah, the Viet girl.
After then, was back in Seoul for the last 7 nights. This time back in Seoul was amazing. Eric was sooo much nicer to us lol. In fact, he helped us a lot after then. The hostel is 1 min walk away from the subway, Jonggak station. Super convenient, I love it! So far..... trying to reminisce where I've been to.
Hyehwa for the legendary ddeokbokki which really tasted super good. and we visited the university and had a haircut.
Dongdaemun for shopping and the flying disco and food yuum
Myeongdong for shopping I love and good food and karaoke and my friend's place
Apgujeong for star spotting which failed fml, greatest bbq, celebrity ice cream place, and just hanging, i like the atmosphere.
Gangnam so we could take a bus to Everland from here.
Honggik for cafes and just walking around, too bad we didn't have time to shop, the shops look good
Digital media city for Kimhyunjoong, well we saw him but it was sucha waste of time. seriously
Seoul station for Lotte mart and trains.
Seoul bus interchange or something, for buses obviously.
Gyeongbokgong for the palace and famous samgaetang, ginseng chicken soup.
COEX for some artbox shopping and temple and booooring and lots of walking, Coex is a hugeass mall but we didnt explore :(
Jonggak, where we lived, quite a busy place, hah amazingly we didn't have time to explore around our place.
So far I could remember, you should be glad.
Eric added me on fb, guess what message he left.
"This is papa."
hahahahahahahaa I was laughing so loud, seriously my mom was staring.
I called him ahjussi first, then papa.
He's so dadddddy :) He helped us carry the baggages and called the cab and made sure we're safe and sound.
I miss daddy and his creepy smirk. hahaha
He's only 10 years older, even younger than my siblings, but he thinks that I'm a kid or something.. jeez
He's always 'aigoooooo,...grace', kiddish Eric.
Whatver, I miss everything South Korea!
I would go there again, hopefully next year. And I'll make sure I will do something there :P
Annnnnnnyong xxx
I miss everyone around me speaking Korean, it feels so good. I have a fetish for Korean language? oh crap.
And I miss the subway where you can eat and drink and crap I hate it here.

I'm meeting Michelle and her French friend tomorrow.
And it's gonna be exciting tomorrow cause I'll drive them to kukup tmr!! :D
This will be the furthest drive I make. Is Singapore further? but er whatver, I'm driving without guidance.
I'm growing rashes on my fingers since Seoul. it's so itchy so gross, ahhhhhh goodnight!
