Korea some more hamnida!

On Monday morning Cindy and I got up earlier than the others, so we decided to get yummy Korean donuts and try Korean Starbucks. Little did we know that Korean Starbucks is for freaking MILLIONAIRES! I got a grande frappuccino (I don’t know why, I so didn’t need grande, but oh well) and it was $6.50!!! That is crazy! However, it was worth it, as they have white chocolate mocha frappuccinos (I don’t know if they have those in the States now, but they don’t have them in Japan) and it was sooooooooooooooooooo good. But still, that is way too much money! A tumbler there was $40! Um, okay?!

After getting ripped off by corporate America, all of us went to a palace in Seoul that was purty, tho like every temple-type area in Japan/Korea/Asia. Hehe. It was nice to do some obligatory touristy stuff, though. For lunch we found out there was a Chili’s in Seoul, and us being the sad American-food-depraved JETs that we are decided to be losers and go there. IT WAS GOOD! Mmmm, chips and salsa! And I got quesadillas and a huge margarita. MMMMM! Good stuff!

After lunch we did some shopping, then in the evening Sean, Tim, Cindy and I went to Seoul Tower, where we could see a smoggy view of the city, as well as a pretty sunset. Cindy and I only wanted to go there because it was on our favorite Korean drama! Actually everything we did in Korea was based on our Korean drama, hahahaha. Oh, on the way down from the tower I gathered some apparent stalkers! I was standing with the others, waiting for the cable car, when I realized this Korean girl was standing next to me and her friend was “sneakily” taking our picture?! I was like, um, okay…..then they continued to do it with like their five other friends, one-by-one! They were the least sneaky people EVER! Finally I ended up posing with them because I couldn’t ignore them. What can I say, I am incredibly sexy in Korea ;)

After that we went to a university area that was VERY cool and fun! I wish we would have found it sooner in the trip! We tried Haagen Dazs’ AMAZING ice cream fondue, which I must say was life-altering. You will have to see the pics later! MMMMM. Then we got a HUGE dinner and wanted to die. After that we got some beers and watched some more World Cup before going back to the hotel.

On Tuesday we had to get up far too early to go to the airport, then we nearly died on the flight back to Japan. Well, not really, but Sean and I were NOT amused with the horrible amount of turbulence throughout the flight. Let’s just say I was thinking of who would be most nutritious were we to land on a deserted island!

After finally landing safely, we made our way back to Gunma, which always takes far too long.

And yeah, that was the trip! It was very fun, and I spent less money than I expected, so that was good! The bad thing is I gained SO MUCH WEIGHT in three days, I didn’t even know it was possible! I am on a detox diet right now as I feel nasty nasty nasty! Bah! But yes, it was fun :)

P.S. Rain is fucking HOT.
