Day 3

Ahhh I'm so behind on blogs because there's no wifi in Japan!! But that will be for another entry.

Day 3! 7/13/13

I'm writing this a day late and I've already forgotten what I've done haha. We started out the morning with a lunch of fermented soy bean paste stew and chicken soup. It was a special day, something similar to a summer solstice. On this day however, you are supposed to eat chicken soup to strengthen your stamina! After restoring our HP, we hit up a cafe- the Hello Kitty Cafe!

The cafe was very pink, as you can see in the pictures. I got a green tea latte and tiramisu. Nothing special, but it was indeed very cute. After our Hello Kitty adventure, we walked through some of the streets of Hongdae and looked through some of the shops. However, we needed to move out of our place to a different one in Yongsan. Our hosts picked us up and we arrived at our new home for four days near Seoul station. It is cute, but pretty small. Then, onto the big event of the night- R16!

R16 is a bboy worldwide competition in which bboys and bgirls from around the world battle each other. Although I don't really know anything about breakdancing, it was super cool! It was exciting to watch, but it was also tiring because we stood for more than four hours. I learned a lot about different styles too. And then... CS lost his wallet! But it was found luckily. It was raining a lot so we took a taxi back, and he dropped us off in some alleyways that were supposed to have good food. After strolling through some pretty sketch alleys, we found a restaurant and got seafood pancake, pigs feet or something like that, kimbap, ddeokbaki, and some stew. Then, we went home to rest and did face masks!
