The following will include my experiences, adventures, some of the things I ate and saw, and some of my closest friends there.
NOT SC2. I already blogged all my SC2 stuff. ^^
Random beginnings
Food/Seoul/Temple/Dorm life/Goyeonjeon
+ Show Spoiler +
All of this... for ~$5.50. God I miss cheap Korean food sooo much.
That's ramyun, ddukbokki and kimbap. And yes, it was amazing.
Seoul @ Night. They had this pretty fountain thing that I could NOT take my eyes off of.
Not sure which station this was by exactly... sorry.
Blurry Seoul. Also near the fountain. They had all these pillars with different flags and the respective country's leader. I think it was for the G25 conference. Pretty neat stuff.
Myungdong on a Sunday. AMAZING for shopping. Crazy crowds. Lots of people shouting in Japanese at you. Lots of Japanese tourists. Food places are crazy.
One of the temples. Cool to walk around and look at history. ^^
I miss chicken SO much. Nights in my dorm consisted of: soju, chicken, pepsi. Really intimate talks with my hyungs. I miss it so much. :[ I got used to eating copious amounts of green onions. ^^
인환형. Played him in BW for chicken. I went 0-5. LOL probably should've gone toss instead of zerg. He's just chilling on my laptop after good chicken nights. He says "WHAT THE" and "are you CRAZY?" also, "FUCKING!!!!" So funny. xD
Go-yeon-jeon. The famed rivalry. Biggest university rivalry in Korea. Yonsei vs Korea U.
bo5, Baseball, hockey, soccer, basketball, rugby. Winner gets HUGE bragging rights.
DAT CROWD.
The cheerleaders <3 I fell in love with the one in the middle. She looks like IU.
They dance. THE WHOLE TIME. We do too. And sing along. It's SO much fun.
After we won. I got chills for like 5 straight minutes. It was such an incredible experience.
Museum!
Artifacts. And coffee.

RAWR ;]
Such an intricate painting.
I love how clean and modern the inside of this museum looked...
The cafe... INSIDE the museum. Blew my mind.
My prof said these are the Korean Crown Jewels... I think he exaggerated a little.
Meet some of the other Americans in the background.
HUGE pagoda thing. The number of levels was supposed to have some importance... but I forgot.
Namsan Tower
Oh the view~ 휴~
+ Show Spoiler +
DMZ... gasp
Tanks, guns, barbed wire, pretty views.
+ Show Spoiler +
Some tanks on the rail before we left for Pyongyang... or near it.
Don't mind my pose.
Because I'm a baller.
Flags on fences.
For some reason... I don't think they want me crossing the fence...
I spy a Korean soldier.
Hard to believe that over those mountains... is North Korea...
An odd structure near the DMZ viewing platform building.. thing.
My friend Clint and I.. joining the South Korean army...
The soldiers that were running this thing were so cool. ^^ We took pictures with them and they tried using English with us. This was one of the "booths" at the hongsam festival they had there... Our theory was that they would play really loud trot music to annoy the North Koreans just over the mountains. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
That's part 1. I'll do part 2. And maybe part 3? Sometime. Don't wanna have TOO much stuff in one blog. :D
Stay tuned~ 안뇽~
