Here’s part 2 for those who didn’t die of boredom reading part 1. Again, this post is dedicated to the curious @ally-le.
WEEK 2
Day 8: Headed to Sangju, the place where I lived and worked for 2 years. Met up with a friend who was on holiday for brunch whilst my other friends were still at work. Then met up with the rest of the gang and had shabu shabu (hot pot) before heading to our local bar lounge. We had a few drinks, played darts and Jenga.
Day 9: Sangju is well known for being the bicycle town, so we went on a bike ride. But what was a 3 hour journey turned to a painful 5 hours as it was so soooooooo windy. We were exhausted by the end of it and had to take a siesta. Woke up and decided to grab a pizza and fries from Mom’s Touch. Went over to another friend’s apartment and played games together.
Day 10: Chilled with friends over Baskin Robbins before heading back to Seoul. Arrived in Seoul and headed to a language meet where I met up with people I saw before I left Korea. After the language meet, we had our first round which was Korean BBQ then we moved on to the second round of doing to a bar and drinking. Koreans party hard I swear. Didn’t go home until 3am.
Day 11: A friend was coming up to Seoul to meet me so I wanted to do something special. We went and tried Korean school uniform as a joke. It was super fun. We then went to fill our bellies with food but somehow ended up chatting and eating for 5 hours at the same restaurant. Luckily we weren’t kicked out.
Day 12: Randomly discovered that another friend had recently come back to Korea to work and she wanted to hang out, so we did. Went to the COEX library again and then headed to this random cafe near Seongsu Station. It had a giant ball pool in the middle. You just had to buy a drink to go in and play. So random but a lot of fun.
Day 13: Korea has a lot of good Escape Rooms, so my friend who was housing me in Seoul asked if I wanted to try one out. I’ve done 2 before so I was excited to do another. We managed to solve it with 23 minutes to spare. Another friend who was with us needed to go to Myeongdong so we headed over there on the subway. Suddenly we get a call from a Korean person and we both freak out. My Korean is pretty limited so I didn’t know what to say. Anyway…turns out my friend dropped her wallet back where we got on at Gangnam Station. Luckily we got it back (THANK YOU KOREA) but we did spend over an hour taking the subway…LOL. In the evening, I met up with some other friends and we had naengmyeon (cold noodles) and my final Sul Bing – Green Tea and Strawberry bingsu.

OMG do it. Although the green tea ice cream was a bit too bitter and strange tasting to me.
