Let's explore around Seoul a bit

So for the Easter weekend, I hung out with my friend and her family. Easter is the time to spend with the family so we decided to explore Seoul a bit before they flew back on Monday.
First, we stopped at 63 Building where we visited Seaworld, the Wax Museum and the Sky Art gallery at the top (which was actually just the 60th floor). Seaworld was very concerning for me as they have certain big animals in really tiny tanks, in general everything was small. I felt really bad for the animals.
Afterwards we had a quick bread lunch before deciding to go downtown to Changdokgung. A smaller palace located in downtown Seoul. Although the weather was windy, it was sunny and so it made it really nice to walk around the palace. Especially with all the beautiful flowers and trees around the palace. As usual there were a lot of people in places like these, especially school children and tourists. After that we went to the stream for a walk before stopping at baskin robbins to have something to drink.
The next day we went to the trick eye Museum in Hongdae. It was really cool. Paintings in which you can pose with as if you are part of the picture and various other knicks and knacks. It was very fun.



After the trick eye museum we went to Namsan Hanok Village where we saw a Taekwondo performance, a traditional wedding, and various other wedding photo shoots and the traditional Korean houses. It was really nice as well as there was the Namsan Park nearby. Very beautiful to walk through. The Taekwondo performance was very outstanding! I wish I could do Taekwondo but it looks very intense.

After our walk, we decided to eat out as it was my friend's family's last day in Seoul, we decided to eat out and have some Californian style pizza. It was soooo good! It was a very nice ending to the Easter weekend. 

It's really nice having people come visit us this semester since it makes us actually go out and explore Seoul a bit. My friends from Canada are coming here this week so I'm super excited. 
Who knows what kind of Seoul adventure we're going to embark on.

Jeju Island

Last weekend, my friend and I and her family went to Jeju island. Since my friend and I still have school we decided to only stay for 2 nights and 3 days. Her family was going to stay a couple more days than us. However, first we arrived in Jeju at around noon and met the tour guide. Since there was 6 of us all together one of us had to sit in the back. My friend's sister did it on the first day. Once we arrived, we wanted lunch and we ate some galbitang. Galbitang is basically rib soup? or beef soup? They stick a piece of meat in a soup and you add salt and pepper to your own desire. It's very bland without salt and pepper and without all the side dishes they provide you. Since my friend's parents are not good with the spicy foods. Galbitang was good but it took a lot of time to eat. On the way to our pension or resort house thing?, or the place we were going to stay over at, we stopped by the beach and took some pictures. The view was beautiful and the color of the ocea...

M! Countdown + JJ PROJECT!!!

So... today. I decided to not go to class at all because I needed to see JJ Project's debut stage in person. Yes. I went to see this performance in person. It was completely worth it! JJ Project had a pre-recording, so it was nice to have their debut stage with only their fans. The time that was indicated on their fan cafe was at 9:30 but my friend and I came at around 8:30am. We got our numbers after sending in our names to the fan manager and I was originally number 15 but when it was time to line up again at 11:00, I was pushed up to number 11! We were given blue JYP wrist bands and the fan managers wrote our numbers on it. They also handed out the fan chants, a temporary large JJ Project banner AND they handed out a stamp card. The stamp card is really motivating me to go and see them for every performance. I brought my own and good thing we were allowed to use them. (Since some fan clubs are more anal about it then others.)    We got inside around 11:30 but we ...
