The last day I spent in Jeonju was full
of mixed emotions. My friend and I had a great time and it created
some amazing memories, but I knew that that was the last day I would
spend in her city.
For breakfast that morning, we had to
tell her mom to make less food and although she made half as much as
she did the morning before, we still didn't finish it all. One of the
things I miss most about Jeonju, besides my friend, is her mom's
cooking.
After breakfast, we went to museum.
This was not a typical museum though. The museum was 2 floors of
various 2D art that when posing in the correct manner, one looks as
if they are part of a 3D interactive art display in a photo.
For lunch that day, we went to a
restaurant and ate 비빔밥 (mixed
rice), for which Jeonju is famous and 불고기
(bulgogi). I can't say the 비빔밥
was my favourite, but it was pretty good.
After lunch, we went to the train
station where it was time to say goodbye. I knew my friend was still
going to visit me in Seoul a week later, but leaving Jeonju was
emotional all the same. Whenever we say goodbye to each other, my
friend and I promise we will not cry, no matter how long we will go
without seeing each other, but as soon as the train pulled out of the
station, I silently cried a little bit.
Being on the KTX train was probably my
only bad experience while in South Korea. The people on the train
were rude and some laughed as I tried, along with two other girls, to
lift my 50lb. suitcase above my seat.
When I arrived in Seoul at 용산
(Yongsan) Station, I met another friend. We wandered around 홍대
(Hongdae)
for a bit before going to her house.
That
night, I had Korean ice cream for the first time! I know you may not
think it is that exciting compared to exotic Korean dishes, but if
you haven't had Korean ice cream, you are missing out! They have so
many more flavours than here, in Canada and if you have a chance, you
should try the melon flavour!
