Visited a few places while I was in Korea but they were all in Seoul.
Wanted to go to the Mud Festival but it takes like freaking 4 hours to
get to that place and you'll get dirty so I gave up the idea. :D
Was supposed to visit this island called Shindo, which was the place where they filmed the drama "Full House" but guess what? My friend's friends showed up 2 hours late and by the time we got there, there were no more ferries already lor!!! wtf?! Worse thing was that those people did not apologise and took it for granted that we'll lead them home because their conversational Korean was so bad and had to rely on us. They didnt even bother to help us ask for directions when we went there but went to satisfy their hunger by buying sandwiches while we asked. wtf?! Bunch of irritating fuckers. Anyways, we didnt want to waste our day travelling(we travelled for damn fucking long and it was so expensive) so we went to Chinatown to eat and look around. Turned out that Korea's Chinatown is a pretty decent place. People there can speak Chinese and the food was good! Then again, we were so hungry that even plain rice would have had tasted good to us.
This is the place that I stayed in for a month while I was there. It's the Mu-ak dormitory that's located in Yonsei University. Good thing about this place was that it's in the school so I didnt have to wake up early to get to class. The bad part was that there was a midnight curfew and it's located on top of a freaking hill!!!! Also, if I missed the shuttle bus or didnt manage to get a taxi, I had to walk for like 30minutes from the main gate just to get here. I really hated it when I had to walk up to the dormitory...so freaking scary. And because there was a pretty steep slope, I couldnt wear heels for the whole time that I was there.
Standing outside the canteen located in KLI (Korean Language Institute). The queue for lunch everyday was CRAZY, especially when it rained or when they served special food at cheap prices. It can get so crowded that people have to eat outside, along the walkway.
Yonsei University's library was so freaking big, pretty and modern. It puts all the other universities' libraries that I've been to to shame. They even have a rooftop garden above the library...wtf?! Then again, I guess that the school fees' probably pretty pricey too.
My friend and I fell sick while we were in Korea. Had fever, flu, cough etc...basically symptoms of H1N1, so we went to Severance Hospital to see the doctor. They brought us to this carpark which was the makeshift stall for seeing potential H1N1 patients. The carpark was badly ventilated and it was so hot and stuffy. My friend's temperature was originally 39 degrees Celsius but it shot up to 39.8 because it was just so fucking hot in the carpark. They also made us wait for a really long time and kept questioning us for our names, contact numbers etc. Also, they kept mixing the both of us up.
Originally, they told us to self-quarantine ourselves but upon hearing that we were going to leave Korea soon, they told us that we didnt have to do so..wtf?! And they werent very willing to let us test whether we had H1N1 or not even though we were willing to pay...wtf! So unprofessional. So what if we were going to leave Korea and probably wont infect Koreans if we have H1N1, we are still patients lor!
They gave us the same medicine even though our symptoms differed slightly and told us that we could choose to eat Tamiflu or not. Everything was "up to us". They also charged us a hefty 10,000won for treatment when all they did was just check our temperatures and ask for medical history! I dont mind paying money if they did something but I just couldnt stand it that they didnt do a single fucking thing! In short, I fucking hate the hospital.
On a lighter note, we went to watch Transformers while in Korea. Watching movie in Korea is not a cheap affair and I slept during the movie because I didnt watch part 1 and was a little lost at the start.
Was walking along Sinchon at night when I happened to look up and got the shock of my life. If you look at the top right hand corner of this photo, you'll see a doll on top of the building. It is fucking scary if you see this at night lor...wtf.
Went for LOTS of karaoke when I was there. Hongdae's Prince Edward Karaoke's room was freaking spacious and they had a mike stand, piano, huge-ass sofas and free flow of ice-cream. So.freaking.cool!
The karaoke room in Sinchon's Soo Karaoke was really pretty too! Free flow of ice-cream too but you had to pay for mineral water...wtf.
Karaoke-ing at Apgujeong's Soo Karaoke. The room wasnt as pretty as the one in Sinchon but it was pretty decent.
Camwhoring in Lotte Departmental Store's toilet because we were so tired from walking. Luckily there werent many people there that day. :D
Stayed tuned for Part 2~.
