Myeongdong

Day #2! 7/12/13

The first thing I learned after waking up and going out is that nothing is open in the morning! We looked for food in the morning but most places didn't open until 12pm. So we ended up going to a 24 hour cafe to chill for a bit while we waited for BC to show up. Poor planning on our part, because he had no wifi but had a Korean phone number, but we only had wifi and no Korean phone service lol. Korean coffee is pretty normal tasting, nothing too bad or amazing. CS got pat bing soo and it was pretty good.

After meeting up with BC, we wandered off to get some food in Hongdae. Korean pizza! They like to put sweet potato on their pizza. The onwards to our next destination- Myeongdong!

We took the public transportation to get there, good thing BC was there because we would never have been able to navigate there. So much make up in Myeongdong! Much to soon I noticed I only had a dollar left in my wallet. The store people stood outside of their shops, yelling things in Korean and holding samples to get you to come in. There were multiples of many stores too so I kept thinking we were backtracking. After loading up on make up, we went to get a snack of some Korean foods that I don't know what they were called. It was really good, and they had the most intense kimchi I have ever eaten. I could not handle it lol. 

After a few hours of wandering Myeongdong in the rain and feeling gross, we headed back to Hongdae and returned to.... Hongdae Happy Day Spa! Now I could get naked with ease haha. We met up in the co-ed part and went in rooms of varying temperatures. There was an ice room that wasn't that cold... until after we melted in a burning room with hot rocks on the ground. There were a couple hot rooms and I learned how life is for a pizza in the oven. One room was so hot that it felt like my face was burning. We went back to shower again after all that sweating and went back to our place relaxed, ready for a long night out in Hongdae.

Which didn't happen lol. But we got fried chicken! It was pretty good. Still a fun night!
