Yay a post! Starting it off with an irrelevant picture.
One day I woke up to the sounds of a sports festival. I closed my window and went back to sleep. They were gone by late afternoon so I didn't check it out.
On Sunday I went with Glen and J to the stop Jongno-5.
Emmanuel, Marcus, and Glen were tagging along.
We were told to get off at the wrong exist, so Marcus pointed out a group across the street mentioning "They're young and they're waiting." and he was right. The 6-person group from Suwon suddenly expanded into a group of 40+. This was an event hosted by Pararia (Paradise Korea).
We got split into groups. Glen and I had signed up late to this event so we weren't on the grouping list haha.
The market! I think Running Man has been here before, when it was referred to as G-Market haha.
Super crowded and super hot.
Our group went to go eat Korean pizza. We had "missions" to do. Like take a picture of crab. And take a picture with the owner.
We went to the nearby Cheongyecheon Stream to play dibidibidip (디비디비딥).
Failed panoramic.
The dibidibidip game took so long because one person had to pass one whole team oh god I never want to do that again.
Beautiful scenery, but it was just too fucking hot.
We did a charades game afterwards, and then headed off to a tourist-y plaza place.
A martial arts demonstration.
Just yesterday Glen and I were talking about constructing a bakery ripped off of Paris Baguette called Paris Croissant. When we saw this sign, Glen turned to look at me and pointed at this haha.
At the super tourist-y place, we got to try on hanboks and took pictures at a photobooth.
The guy on the right, Chris, has like the same face in every picture haha. He said he wasn't photogenic.
Glen doesn't understand my ice cream needs.
Apparently this place has really good green-tea flavored things.
Glen sleeping on the ride back to campus.
On Monday, the whole UT group went out to eat together (for the first time)!
We went to eat Indian.
Already predicting how pricey it was going to be.
Shifty-eyed.
Delicious appetizer.
Really cute bird-shaped samosas.
Servings were tiny. The price range is pretty normal compared to the states, but I guess I just got used to prices around here haha.
A cool machine located in the restaurant.
The walk back.
On Thursday, it was Memorial Day in Korea, so I went out with Glen and people (which includes Eddy, Joy, Windter, and Noah) to G-Market (again) to eat for lunch before heading out to Seoul Forest.
As hot and crowded as ever.
But this time we got to eat at the street booths outside.
The Doosan Art Center was nearby, so we waited around for other members of Maple to show up.
A walkable piano!
I could jump in this hallway and still not hit the ceiling, it was a sad story. My life is made of sad stories.
Glen taking a picture of the bathroom sign.
We spotted a statue from a far, but we left to a cafe before we could check it out.
This is clearly not red velvet.
Green Tea and Fruit Yogurt bingsu!
Glen's hand.
We ate our bingsu, and then the other group arrived, without having eaten, so we went back to the art center to wait for them to eat.
The statue was so creepy when I went to get a closer look
Re-enacting something from Shingeki no Kyojin.
Yay it was time to go!
Cute wildflowers along the way to Seoul Forest.
We're finally here! Noah looks distant.
Noah's dumbfounded expression.
Glen no longer looking at the camera.
Looking at the map.
Joy, Windter, Glen, and I went off on our own.
Stopped by a butterfly garden along the way.
The chrysalis of the butterflies are hung up on a board.
I pointed to a sign about the different types of butterflies, and I said I wanted to find that one. Immediately afterwards, I found it.
Right next to the butterfly garden was an insect gallery.
Hello Texas, how nice to meet you again.
There were a lot of flowers in this place.
Cute snouted fish.
A hedgehog!
Tadpoles are gross.
A rabbit too for some odd reason.
After walking along to find the Deer Corral, we stopped by a petting place.
Bunnies are so cute.
Waterfall of Wishes.
Windter got his in.
Glen was going to go for the nearer one, but...
...tried for the farther one and failed.
Re-checking our coordinates.
Found a deer food dispensing machine!
1000won for this much.
Most of the deer just kind of ignored people to be honest.
Getting curious.
And then refusing food.
I found one that was willing to eat out of my cup!
And then here's Joy's cup getting in my viewfinder.
It kept on ignoring Windter haha.
Team Glen's 1000won Cup mission successful!
Such a shifty eye.
Here's a cuter picture.
Kids are so cute.
Cute horns~
Glen's Hill of Wind. Not as impressive as it sounded.
Everyone gets too sassy with me.
For Glen.
2sassy4me
I'm a pro.
A really long bridge.
for Glen.
for Glen.
Some Miyazaki stuff going on here.
Deer shelters.
Far away traditional roofing was spotted.
On the way back down we found a sign.
More rabbits!
And guinea pigs!
Lonely rabbit.
Glen's glowing.
More waiting for people.
Joy and I left early because I'm sick again (like what the 3rd time since I've been in Korea) and I went to go eat ramen. It was so goddamn good, and I was so tired from walking around and waiting, this was so delicious and salty on my throat.
Until next time! One more week of school and then finals.
