clazziquai 6685 Posts August 28 2008 21:41 GMT #1 I forgot to post some stuff on my other post. Anyways, July 26th - Me, My cousin, Uncle Wow what a day. That was the day my cousin and I went to 명동. It was pretty cool we went around and for lunch we ate Pizza Hut. Pizza Hut is REALLY expensive though, I recommend that you don't get it unless you're willing to spend a lot of money because one pizza pan (the regular size) costs 16 dollars, and the quantity of the pizza is really really small =/ Drinks added up and the total bill came out to like 21 dollars. Right after we ate we decided to go to MyungDong Internet Cafe (명동 PC 방 was the name).I played Starcraft and he played Maplestory for 2 and a half hours. What a waste of time but Internet cafe's are so cheap! And they got cleaner too. I think it was smoke free. After games, we just loitered around Myung Dong by going to various clothing shops, but there are more shops for girls than guys. We also went to ABC Mart, Korea's lead shoe store (like the Footlocker of Korea). After some time we decided we go back home by subway, rather than bus. We went to Sujin Station (수진역, and it's my sister's name LOL) to buy some cheap t-shirts that look nice, but only cost five dollars each! Then we rode the train again to Suhhyun Station/Samsung Plaza, and headed back home. That night our uncle bought us: two boxes of chicken, 탕수육 (some chinese fried meat thingy..), and beef ribs. I also drank three cans of beer that day and because of eating so much I threw up later that night. Big mistake :/ No pictures - my mom took it and this is what results in the thing I'm typing next: July 26th - Mom, aunts, other cousins Excluding my mom, these are her sisters(my aunts) and she is the oldest lol youngest cousin at age 1 Some band in that restaurant they were in ^^ Younger cousin - group photo! So yeah they had their fun as well on the same day I went to MyungDong. ;P It must have felt good for my mom to see her sisters once again ;P And all united! which is rare Before Kyungju My grandparent's (dad's side), and my mom, sister, and I arranged a trip to go to Kyungju, it has a lot of tourist attractions. But before that we went up to Seoul to one of my uncle's houses. It's really nice - what we did was EAT a lot and visit the place I was born, 노랑진 (NoRangJin) or something like that. We also went to my grandma's sister who lives in that town. She helped my mom by giving her food and such and taking care of me because at the time, my mom was a piano teacher. After a night at my uncle's house, before we headed back to Bundang, we went to a seafood restaurant, and it was AMAZING. Seriously! Wow really GOOD! After that day I never got to see my uncle again. So yeah, pretty sad :[ Kyungju! Before I start, really awesome trip! Wow I saw SO many neat things and I didn't regret any of it. Although we had to walk A LOT! We also hired a Taxi driver to drive us from Daejeon to Kyungju and the way back as well as from tourist attraction to another. Really awesome! First, we went to the Bulkuk (불국사) Temple it's really famous and yeah. The things that I saw were quite amazing. My grandfather, grandmother http://lh6.ggpht.com/hyungohh/SLR-SbA4xPI/AAAAAAAABW4/m7CPnneoZyQ/s144/DSC08713.JPG Family picture! yay http://lh6.ggpht.com/hyungohh/SLR-gW98NZI/AAAAAAAAAkk/yMuqzq3eXK0/s288/DSC08718.JPG Read. Learn! =P Sorry the picture is sideways lol My sister in front of a golden pig I forgot what that thing was lol My sister and I Awesome picture imo Stone tub information - no pic available though. Sucks! The next stop: Suk Gool Am: Really the best/highlight of this trip. Suk Gool Am is like Korea's treasure really, Buddha made of stone or lime or w/e. Too bad we couldn't take actual pictures of it because they didn't allow us to. Also they blocked it with glass so you can only see it from a distance. Entry to Suk Gool Ram It would look like this Bell and my grandfather We then went to some museum =P That showed archaeological stuff from Korea - from shoes to armor and weapons and etc. I did NOT take any pictures of them. These two are the best I've got. Here were some statues outside the museum: Me, Grandma, Grandpa ^-- This place was like..hm the place where the King had party with important people in Korea back then or important foreign guests from like China I guess? Idk, something like that. And there are some weird plant/flowers: Group photo! Next is an astronomical observatory: Can you guess what those were? They're graves. Yes, not for the ordinary, but for kings! Compare that and a grave for the average person: There were so many and they were big because, obviously it was the king and also to bury the king's items and such. Outside the grave tunnel that has many things, including the famous gold crown back then End of that trip! I had a lot of fun, and saw many bizarre, and cool things. Part 3 coming soon!
