Day 115: 20 December, Friday

Temperature: -7/2 degrees
Weather: Fine

Schedule today starts at 9.30am! First day in Seoul for official travelling!

But I was on the phone with on one of my seniors and we both got so excited that we couldn't stop talking haha. Although we side tracked to a more sensitive topic in the end, chats with him is always fun and I'm glad we speak in the same frequency haha! So I was otp until about 5am? Haha. And guess what? I was tired the next morning, needless to say.

Them playing Counter Strike and getting damn agitated over the game :P
Yesterday night~
Six people sleeping together and when the alarms start ringing in the morning its a hell annoying. Well I didn't really wake up immediately cos I was really tired. Taiquan suggested meeting Cheryl and Yvonne a little later but they texted us saying that they wouldn't be joining us because Cheryl don't feel well. So we left our guesthouse at about 10.15am and headed to Paris Baguette for breakfast.

Breakfast!
Christmas cupcakes!
Subsequently, we took the subway to head towards Incheon because that's our plan for the day!
Hongdae -> Incheon -> Chinatown -> City Tour

But Incheon is a total different city/state from Seoul so it took us about one hour on the subway before we finally arrived. And like you know, I was so tired, I fell asleep on the subway.

We arrived at about 12pm and wanted to purchase the city tour tickets first (KRW$1,500 per hour interval) but it was lunch time so we headed to Chinatown street first! We kinda expected a lot of chinese (or at least tourists) but no. It was super empty except for a few groups of students.

So photos!!



인천역 (Incheon Station)







Wall murals about chinese history :P

Confucius 




They drew eyes for him...






We headed to buy the tickets for city tour soon after but they told us there's no city tours available today and we were damn sad. So we decided to go to this nearby island called 월미도 (wolmi island) so we took bus number 23 and it took us only 7 minutes to reach. However, we were shocked that that place is like a ghost town... There's absolutely no one and nothing there...`

We just walked around blindly and took lots of photos of the view... The weather wasn't clear though :/



 Then I spotted these constellations on the floor!












Look at the snow!



We left Wolmi Island at about 2.30pm by taking a bus and heading back to Incheon Station because there was nothing much there either. Headed back to subway station and boarded the subway back to Hongdae. Another one hour. SLEEP hahaha xD

Spot Taiquan! Hahaha xD
That shoes seem familiar? hehe "The Heirs"
View on the train~
We reached the guesthouse at about 5pm and we settled down before Taiquan, Yixin, Meihwa and I headed out for dinner! Wanted to have budaejiggae but couldn't find one so we randomly settled at some restaurant!


Dinner!
After dinner Taiquan and Meihwa went to watch "Ballerina who loved a B-boy" which is a musical while Yixin brought me around Hongdae (since its her third time here already) and we shopped at H&M and bought Gongcha! I was also trying to familiarize myself with the area since we were gonna be staying here for about two weeks and also so that I can bring Amanda around when she's here on 27th~

Husky again!
I WANT THAT HEELS T_T
I want the pink one!
The red one and the black one too!
I was thinking how nice would it be if for all of my birthdays and Christmas those who are getting me gifts would just buy me a pair of heels. That'd probably be the best gift ever and I'll have lots of heels!!!

Trick Eye Museum!
Hello Kitty Cafe - Hongdae
Cat Cafe!
Pizza Hut!
Gongcha!
Yixin and I bought Gongcha! Happy ^^
This dress looked so pretty on the shelf but I didn't buy it in the end although it only costs $17 because it looks kinda weird on me.
Its the 20th today... So its #7moredays before I see Amanda! Exactly one week! Time passes so fast and it also means I'm going back soon... T_T

Daejeon snowed heavily!!! Missing that place already...
The plan for tomorrow is Yongin Everland but some of us are not going. I'm just damn tired but watching Running Man so just lepaking in my guesthouse... Feels great to not have anymore commitments! Christmas is coming too and I'm hoping it'll snow so I can spend a white Christmas!

Meanwhile enjoy your holidays everyone!!
