1 week and 3 days

It's official a week and 3 days until I have to go back to Canada. I already moved out of the dorms and moved into a hostel. The hostel I am staying is relatively close to downtown Seoul and it is relatively convenient to go to places. Especially with the bus.
I just got my grades today and it's relatively high for the amount of work I did. I'm surprised and quite relieved. ^^ With school out of the way and worry, I can explore Seoul a bit more. My friend from last semester has decided to come back to Seoul for the summer but too bad I can't stay here as long as she can. We have decided to go around places together along with my roommate. (Yes my roommate in the dorms has also become my hostel roommate.) Today we are looking around Insadong a little more. Every time I come here, there's always a new thing that we discover because I tend to skim around places and every time I highlight different points. Right now, we are in a cute cafe that have delicious tea and it's very cozy. It's called Namu Coffee & Tea. The music BGM is also really nice.
There are a couple things I plan to do in Seoul that I haven't done yet. I would like to go see Nanta the Cooking Show. They say it's something to watch and the tickets are definitely cheaper here! Especially during the summer where they seem to have a 30% discount at certain locations so I'm going to look into that. I would like to go to another music show again but I think my last one would be Simply Kpop. Since the only kpop artists I really want to see right now are kind of hard to get into with. Especially with comebacks like Super Junior and 2NE1 coming up. Yeah. Maybe I'll try to get into with Younha, if she comes back in time. There hasn't been time for me to do the DMZ tour but I think I'm okay without that right now. 
There have been a couple farewell parties that I had to attend last week. It's quite sad but it was inevitable. Part of me is feeling, I'm ready to go back to Canada when I encounter things that has been annoying me during my stay in Korea and other times I'm like... I don't want to go back. The friendships I have made, the regular hangouts, the food, I have gotten used to life here but at the same time... I do want to go back to Canada as well. Primarily because it would be nice to go back to a country where I don't have to do mental translation in my mind every moment. 
I am having some down time today and one of these days... I might need to start reorganizing my suitcase a bit. I realized I was 7kg over the last time I checked. I think I might have to bring a suitcase as my carryon. I really really really hope I don't have to recheck in at Shanghai. I don't want to have to do that because this time I only have 2 hrs? layover. Plus it's the same airplane carrier this time instead of an operated by carrier. I am really crossing my fingers. My guitar... such a hassle... but at the same time it has helped me quite a bit this year. My flight also leaves pretty early in the morning... glad I still have friends here in Seoul that is okay with waking up early and helping me to the airport... Well I'll try to get rid of more stuff from my suitcase until them. Oh how much I hate packing... T_T but hey, I'm only 7 kg over. That can be easily fixed by putting that on my carry on and some around my guitar case. Packing worries.... I hate it.

[REVIEW/FAN ACCOUNT] Xia Junsu Solo Concert

This is a review. A very laid back open personal review on the concert... maybe I should actually call it a fan-account... but I am going to be critical about it so... I shall call it a review. A review on Kim Junsu or Xia Junsu's solo concert. Yes. Anyways we arrived at around 2:30 at the venue and there were a lot of people already. Never underestimate Junsu fans. First thing first, we decided to get our fan goods. There was a total of 9 goods that you could buy but to be honest most of them look tacky and the only thing I wanted was a light stick and possibly a slogan because they looked classy. The line up to buy the goods was very long. So they tried to make it shorter by lining up everyone with 4 people per row. The weather was hot and it was a good thing those who were part of the Junsu's fan club started handing out small Junsu fans. I am so glad because although they were small, it helped quite a bit with the heat. Fan goods! The concert didn't start until...

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 ...

Seoul Grand Park Zoo

Last weekend I actually did something interesting... at least on Saturday. We went to Seoul Grand Park, especially to the Zoo. It is located in the southern part of Seoul and the park is really a Grand one. The zoo, as well, was really really big. It was really cheap to get into as well. Only 3000KRW! We couldn't go around the whole zoo because it was a Saturday meaning there were a lot of people! I could walk and be at the zoo all day but with that many people at the same time, I had my limits. Being in Seoul made me realize how much I did not like being squished in between people. my roommate took the picture! ^^ Statue in front of the Ape Jungle! It was the 6 of us going to the Zoo this time. So we made our priorities on which animals we wanted to see and went there first. The zoo was humungous and was smartly divided. All similar species were together, or the animals that live together in real life were bunched together. Each section was themed. It was really cool! We wen...
