Finale...with a not so "big bang"

For all those Korean Kpop fans...you'll understand the pun of "big bang".
Anyways, today was full. I'm trying to do as many things as I can before sunday arrives. Tieing loose ends as some would say.

Anways, Angela, Morgan and I went to "Dr. Fish". This is a cafe where you order cake and a drink and as an extra treat, you get to stick you feet into water containing "Turkey Fish or Chinese Fish" and get the dry skin of your feet peck off. It was one of the most awesome experiences in S.K. I was super scared but quickly got use to the nibblings and vibrations coming from these tiny fish. After my feet felt very good. The cafe even have nail polish too...for free...to paint your nails or toe nails. The only bad thing that happened was that my right foot got stabbed in the sink (after finishing and washing my feet) by the silver stopper. My foot didn't bleed a lot and didn't hurt as much til right at this moment as I am typing this post. After, my roommate and I went to Nandaemun to grab a luggage for me. Then we met up with friends at 6pm to go toghether for HYORI CONCERT!

HYORI's official concert was supposed to be tomorrow 12/20 but since the tickets sold out so fast, they opened up 12/19. There was rumor that Big Bang was going to be there tonight but unfortunately they didn't appear. Hyori didn't mention it at the concert but guess what she did mention? Rain!! Rain will be performing tomorrow with her. Now after hearing that I'll miss his concert by one day was very heartbreaking. Not only was Big Bang not there, Rain will be performing tomorrow night (ah. so close yet so far).

There was a good turn out for the concert. The audience members suprised me a lot. There was a mix of old and young people.Some of them were very pushing. We got there late because we happened to be on the subway when someone suicide and so the trains stopped running to clean out the mess. There has been a lot of suicides by jumping and getting hit by the train.

Anyways, the stage was super close. S. Koreans were so tall that I could barely see. We first tried to get to the stage but then it was so crowded that I just went to the back. My two other friends made it to the front though...after some pushing and shoving. The stage was very close so I got a close view. I just wish that there was some policy about how short people should have the right away in concert situations. The concert was super long. It started at 8:30pm (officially 8pm) and wenttil about 11:30pm. There were other guess appearances but I wasn't very impressed- I just wish that Big Bang and Rain were there. It would have made my entire year! Hyori's concert was very sensual. It was a concert that I would not take my kids to. The funny thing was that I saw a children there. Think Briney Spears...and then imagine an Asian women who wants to be like Brit and so goes the extra mile to be like Brit. Yep, I was dissappointed that their wasn't more creativity and originality behind the performance. Overall, it was a good experience!

Ahh... I'm super tired. We didn't get back til 1amish because it was so hard to catch a taxi and so we caught blue bus 470 (luckily and suprisingly it still ran).
