Day 35: Whoa, an update??

This is long over due! I've been in Korea for over a month and I've only posted once! This will be a quick summary to what I've been up to....



This is Eco Geo in Suncheon Bay, we took a bus and spent the day there as a school trip in my first week here. It was really pretty but unfortunately it rained later!

I also went to the Hello Kitty Cafe in Eunhaeng-dong! Too bad I can't find my photos ;P

After that classes started and nothing much eventful happened. Other than some walking around.

Korea has the best walkways!

Then we had a break! Chuseok is kind of like Korean Thanksgiving so we got September 18-20th off. I decided to visit Seoul while I had a time.

  

Ddeokbokki (rice cakes in sweet-spicy sauce), Sundae (blood sausage), and Korean BBQ!

I also visited Lotte World, an indoor amusement park....

And Everland, another park, who was had a discount for Chuseok! Below is the best roller coaster I've ever ridden. It was wooden but so smooth and the tracks didn't shake at all like normal wooden coasters. The tracks actually turned in a way that you went under the previous track to make 4 layers!

 Of course I wasn't going to leave Seoul without shopping. This is in Edae near Ehwa Women's University. It had so many small shops crammed into confusing streets but were mostly cheap!

 And Daiso! This is a Japanese dollar store. Nothing is over 5,000 won ($5) and everything is so cute! I passed at least 5 and bought something from every single one...

I also visited the World's Tallest Art Museum (previously World's Tallest Building), Building 63!

Once back in Daejeon, I climbed Gyejoksan Mountain. It had several temples at the bottom and it was very very tiring but worth the view!

 

 And that's all for now! Maybe I'll update more often, but who knows.....
