We went to MBC Dream Center because initially we wanted to enter for the music core pre-recording. But plans changed because we woke up later than we planned. So we went there just to tell the friend of Grace we're not going for the pre-recording or the live show. But end up we waited for grace at the angel in-us cafe. Its a pretty nice themed cafe and the furnitures are nicely decorated, wings on the little pillows on their seats. I dranked hazelnut cafe mocha.

I went back to the hostel with Grace, Samuel, Sixu to put things and take some things for those who went 충무로. Dead. I've been damn forgetful recently. Put ruzzie's things on her luggage or floor and forget to bring it for when we left the hostel. Wth is wrong with me seriously.. I forget this and forget that.

We went to the 서울숲 after eating some street food when we get to 뚝섬. It was fun. The scenery there is really nice. And we saw 2 different kinds of deers. Yuding bought the feed and shared the joy with us. It's really nice to see the nature in a whole new way. We also went tithe insect garden. Basically theres a lot of different kinds of plants displayed and also the specimens of various insects is a lot too. It's a eye opener to me.

We went to have our dinner at 이태원. It wasn't really cheap but the satisfaction was there in terms of quality in food and services. It was the first time in a long time since ruzzie ate meat. The shop owner was actually a Pakistan but he changed citizenship to Korean. We went back to our hostel quite early after a walk in the little town. The wind was blowing strongly.

Today started out later than yesterday. At first we were quite lost and didnt know where the aquarium is located so we went shopping for quite a while. I bought some 소녀시대 things for Ivan and Edwin. I hope they'll like it.

We had some fun in coex aquarium. It cost us ₩17,500 for the entrance ticket. Rather cool, but worth the money. I'm indeed impressed by the things I saw in the aquarium. Its really big it took us more than an hour to explore the whole aquarium. Sometimes it makes me wonder how great inventions like these are created. We also saw other animals that I've not seen for a long time.

Bought some souvenirs as well for Zoe cos I remember she bought me a similar gift for Xmas exchange so I think she'll like it.

Today was a late day that started around 1330hr. We went to Samuel's friend, an ajuma's shop at 잠실 to buy albums. She's really kind and bought us popular vitamin drinks.

Personally I think it's a great place. We went to 한강 and I bought myself a cup of hot cocoa. We then enjoy the scenery. There we saw little crabs. They seemed like insects crawling out of the water. There were also beetles beside the sitting areas having mating session.

We went to 강남 for some shopping. 교보문고 is the bookstore we went. As planned, we bought assessment books for ourselves for Korean Language. Some of us bought storybooks even. We spent quite a while at the bookstore before proceeding to shop more. There was a CD-shop below the level of the bookstore and also a big store that sells quite a number of things. In the CD-Shop, I saw the album I was finding for a long time. It was the one and only album left. Without doubt, I bought the album at once. We then went back to hostel.

After the shopping, we went for our dinner at pamato, some street food. The food there is generally cheap and nice. I ate the shrimp fried rice. I love the kimchi here. They're much more nicer than what I've tasted so far.after putting our things back in the hostel, we went to the 노래방 and sang for 4 hours. It was already pass 3 in the morning when we came out. Samuel and I went to the nearby shop to eat supper. Slept at 4. Shiok to the max!

Fun day today at everland, bought some souvenirs for family and friends, though not very expensive, I think they'll like it.

The theme park is the best that I've gone so far. I love the way the rollar coasters are build. It's a pity ruzzir and yuding didn't come along together to have fun. They went to visit the prison and the toy shop because ruzzie didn't want to go to the theme park. It's not her cup of tea for enjoyment. Seems like they came back to the hostel very early. The experience will stay with me for at least 5 years.

When we reached 강남, we stopped outside the subway station because Doreen wanted to vomit after the bus ride. I think 강남 is sort of the red-light district and there were lots of name cards lying all over the floor at the entrance of the subway, but usually people just ignore it. Anyway, we reached the hostel at around 2310hr. Tiring day with 1.5 hour ride to and fro each.

And the stay here's not bad either. With all the great people, and nice weather.

It's the first day today. I'm feeling great, though the hostel a little too small for 7 people. We woke up early at around 8am and went to 명동 and do some shopping. Doreen introduced her Korean pen pal to us and Her name is sojong.

She really helped us in communicating with the natives. I didn't buy anything during the shopping trip, but ate some street food with cider. We then went to this Italian food shop. We treated her because she really helped us.

After more shopping, we showed her to our hostel. She chatted with the girls. She said her house from our hostel is 2 hours so she had to go at 1930hr. We sent her out and went for some shopping at the supermarket. We then cooked our own dinner. It's awesome.

It was my first time taking a plane. Just the day before, I was wondering what it'll be like to take a plane. Is it like a bus? But it's nice traveling with nice people. I love their company. The weather is nice outside. I'm already loving the air here.
