Seoul Day 2

Leah and I woke up late on Sunday aka noon. (It's okay though, it's my only day off. I'm allowed to get my full 8 hours of sleep.) We take the bus back into Soeul and meet up with Jessica and Jenny in Itaewon aka the foreigners area. It's near an Army base and has a Taco Bell, english bookstores, sports bars, mexican restaurants, clothing for giants, and more! We went during the day and had a leisurely lunch at a sports bar and watched DVR'd college football games and indulged in some Budweiser. Mmmmmm!

Jessica then took us to the Gagnum Underground Market. It's a narrow market about 600-800 meters long (I'm guessing, I didn't get to see it all) full of cheap clothing, shoes, and home decor. It's full of people and get this, it's not air conditioned! This is when I start missing the good oldUS of A but I did find a dress and a bunch of earrings. After that, we all went our separate ways. I stayed with Jenny on Sunday night so I could be closer to the train station in the morning. We went to Home Plus and bought some veggies for her to make some soup with. Her crock pot rocks!

Woke up late on Monday morning but after a 45 minute subway ride, make it to Seoul Station and hop on the KTX at 11:30. I was back in Daegu by 1:15pm and at work at 1:50. Pretty good timing eh?

Fun Fact about Korean couples: They like to go out and about in public wearing matching shirts. There are even stores that just sell Couples Tees... if anybody needs a set to cement your love I'll hook you up!
