Reunite Day

A good friend came three hours to visit me this weekend. She came on saturday and spent the night. Ashley Stoffers went to college with me. Right now, she is a fullbright scholar teaching English in a subarb near Seoul. It was so great seeing her. I was so used to seeing her at school that it felt wierd not seeing her everyday. She is the most caring nicest person in the world. She brought me my early birth present which consisted of items to survice in Korea. It was in a cute Hello Kitty bag. I've been having a not so good experience in Korea and her coming had made my week.

We went out for lunch and had a delicious meal- it was cold noodle with chilli sauce. I felt way healtheir after eating that. We than took the subway to a traditional shopping place. Things were on the pricey end but we all ended up buying little souvenirs. I say ninja turtle!! Well, actually there was this man who was literally green walking down the street like it was a normal thing. There was a white dude doing something on the streets; Koreans were actually giving him money! Next, we went to Daedonum (?) shopping district and I was blown away by the vastness of everything. There were whole buildings (many) dedicated to clothes. The clothes were the most fashionalest I've ever seen. I wanted to buy everything I set my eyes on but fortunately I was able to controll my impulsiveness and bought just one shirt. But boy, am I coming back and shop like crazy! I have to figure out how much I can afford to spend and still have enough for food for the next three months. We toured till we got tired and left for home. We stopped by this really good restaurant by Yonsei Uni and had a delicious spicy meal. Constant going to the bathroom was definately worth that good food!

This was the most relaxing day of the week! Ashley definately made me feel better. We had a midnight icecream craving so we hopped over to GS2 and bought some snacks. I ended up buying icecream and Ashely bought these popcorn snacks. Korean snacks are delicious!
