Goodbye Seoul! :( I had an early flight back to Finland so my friend had promised that he'd take me to the airport. This way I wouldn't miss my flight (like Maiju did :P). We took the airportbus together and when I had my plane tickest we said goodbyes. There is nothing interesting about this day so I'll just leave it like this. I spend the whole day in an airplane sleeping so how can that be interesting?
So, back in Finland now. It's a bit cold here and I'm working right now. So that was my summer vacation this year because I'm going directly to school when my work ends. How nice. -___- This blog will be dead for a while until I go and explore the world again. >:D I think we're going to Stockholm in Autumn but let's see what happens. ^^
Wistfully I go to a hiatus now. See you again!

Alone in Seoul part 4, 5.7.2012
My last day ;____; I came back from Yeosu really early and made my way back to my hostel. The plan for today was this: Shop with all the money that I have left and in the evening meet with my local friend. And that's what I did. I made a shopping list for myself and went to Coex again. This time I DIDN'T get lost. :D It was fun to shop alone, a bit strange but fun. I bought a lot of BB- cream, CDs for my friends, a new skirt, accessories and a lot of other things. After shopping I went to sit alone in a cafe and just followed the people around me. It felt like I was living in Korea. :)
Back in the hostel I talked with the owner and with a French girl. She was studying about urban citys and how the grow and what the differences are in France and in Korea. We looked at her study books and she explained me about urbanization, gentrification and things like that. It was so cool! 8)
In the eveing I met with my friend. I was raining really heavily (just my luck) so we just run to the nearest cafe. We just talked and decided to go to karaoke (note to myself: never go to karaoke with a korean). It was fun but I'm not good at singing so... yes. We got hungry after singing so again we run to the nearest restaurant that we found. :D Lastly we went to a movie theater. After that it was time to say goodbye. :(
... I don't feel like writing at all today but I have to do this now or I'll forget everything. :D
Photo updates from the last week coming later! Hopefully today.

From Seoul to Yeosu, not so alone anymore 3.- 4.7.2012
I went to Yeosu with my friends to see the world expo thing (which was really interesting). I woke up reeeeaaaaly early (I found out later that Justin, my hostel manager, was wondering where I went even though I told him I'd be leaving early and coming back in a few days) and made my way to the train station to wait for my friend. The train ride was nice. I could see how the country side looked like in Korea. We had to switch trains near Mokpo but it was ok. The trains were quiet full because everyone was going to Yeosu.
When we arrived to the train station in Yeosu we took a taxi and went to search for our hostel. We left our stuff there and went back to the train station because the expo area was right next to it. The aftrenoon tickts weren't available yet so we went to eat first. There was a food stand where you could buy obentos. Yay for that! :D After we ate we went to the ticket line to wait.
Once inside the expo area we went to explore "the first floor" (notice there were many buildings and the area was outside. Only the pavillions were inside. Well, maybe I put a picture of the map here later). The Swiss pavillion was interesting and cool. You made a trip inside a mountain and and... yes, you'll see from the pics later. We just run from one pavillion to another. In the evening we went to see the Big O- show.
The next day we went to a light house near the expo area first. The aftrenoon tickets weren't yet available so we explored the area near it. We also visited a seaweed farm. It sounds strange but to me it was really interesting. One of the staff members explained me about the project, how the seas are in a bad condition and how we could help to maintain the balance in the seas. I don't think my friend was that interested but I was totally impressed by it. :D
When we got to the expo we went to the aquarium first. <3 I loooove aquariums! There were some ahjummas who thought I was my friends girlfriend. -____- But we kindly explained that we are just friends. :D Again we were just hanging around the area and we went to see different pavillions. But it was fun. And I could eat TAKOYAKI there <3 In the evening we watched a musical but sadly I couldn't understand much of it because they didn't speak english. -___- Of course.
It was time for us to go back to Seoul. We left really early in the morning, around 5am or so. Luckily we didn't have to change trains this time so I was able to sleep. ^^
My last day in Seoul. ;~~; I'll write about it soon!
