Wannabe World Traveler: Seoul searching...

I spent this past weekend in Seoul...place is awesome & I got some really cool pictures.

Friday Night
The first hostel we stayed at was ridicuolously hard to find though...the woman's directions made no sense...suspect she used google translate because they were so out there. Once we found the hostel we met up with a friend of my travel buddy in Itaewon. Itaewon is like foreigners' paradise lol the most foreigners I've seen since I've been in Korea. It was a good night out, helped to clear the frustrations of being lost for a hour and half looking for the hostel. I met a fabulous tranny lol he was soo tall & that was before the stilettos. He was getting down too. We found a reggae type club, but although the music was good the men there were kinda annoying. They kept trying to dance with us even though we clearly said no...needless to say we didn't stay there long. However, it was still a good night.

Saturday
Well went to a fish market that was in a huge warehouse type plae. You could definitely tell how fresh everything was because it smelt like the ocean not like rotting dead fish. You would buy what you wanted & then go to the second floor to a restaurant where they would cook it for you. There is also the option of bringing it home & cooking it yourself but that really wasn't an option for us. We then went to a place called Myeongdong...shops galore, I wish it was after payday so I could've done some shopping...so many cute trinkets & jewelery & clothes (not that I could fit most of it). After going around there we went to Seoul Tower...it was awesome, though we had to take a cable car which wasn't fun for me because I'm afraid of heights. We didn't actually go inside the tower though because it cost money & I was on a tight budget. Afterwards we got dinner and then went to Hongdae. Hongdae also had a lot of foreigners around, & some interesting bars & clubs. We ended up running into someone I knew from training at a random dubstep concert in the park & hung out with him the rest of the night. The night ended up at a salsa club which was a lot of fun.

Sunday
We both made an appointment to get our hair done but before that we went to a really nice Thai restaurant for lunch...it was amazing and had really good food...ok back to the hair, I was getting a touch up & my friend was just getting her hair blown out & flat ironed. So we went to this Nigerian lady...yea not happy, my hair was made so greasy that my hair actually feels heavy & the same goes for my friend. She didn't do a good job straightening it either. Needless to say we will not be returning there...I should not have to fix my hair after getting it done. Well after that fiasco I had a date with the professor while my friend went to meet one of her friends for dinner. The date went well, had dinner & talked ^_^ we have another date on Friday night, he's coming here & we're going to the movies.

Monday
Woke up roun 10am and our train back was at 12pm...almost missed the friggin train! That would've been bad since work starts at 430pm and I still needed to fix mine and my friend's hair...anyways it all worked out in the end...can't wait to go to Seoul again! Hopefully next time with more money so I can actually do some shopping! Ok, it's picture time!!! Enjoy =^_^=
