NOTE: I'm going to re-name my friends
with English names in this blog so they can stay anonymous.
While staying with my friend (Emily) in
Seoul, we met up with one of her guy friends (Jason) for a day.
Because Emily had French class in the morning, Jason and I went to
see an morning showing of an English movie in 명동
(Myeongdong).
It was strange to be watching an English movie with Korean subtitles
as I am used to watching Korean movies with either English subtitles,
or no subtitles at all.
After we watched
the movie, Jason and I went for coffee and Starbucks is exactly the
same in Canada and South Korea, but there's a cafe in 홍대
(Hongdae)
that sells Koreano coffee instead of Americano.
We wandered
around 명동
for a
bit when Emily was finished her class and we also took sticker
photos. We stayed in 명동
for
lunch and ate Korean-Italian food at a place called 리미니.
The only difference is that the cream pastas aren't as creamy.
We went to a
traditional village in Seoul called 남산골
한옥마을
(Namsan
Hanok Village) in hopes of dressing in traditional clothing, but they
no longer offered it. I almost think Emily was more disappointed than
me!
Instead,
we went to Kyobo Book Store, which is the largest book store in all
of Korea. I think even their English section was larger than most
book stores here!
When
it got a little bit darker, we went to 청계천
(Cheonggyecheon
Stream). The 청계천
is
a stream that was very dirty during the Korean War and now it is much
cleaner, but they are still working to make it better. It runs
through the middle of Seoul and has nice lights at night in certain
places.
