A boring Wednesday that turned into heavy partying 27.6

Today Erika couldn't come with us anymore because her school started. So me and Maiju spent the begingin of the day by just sleeping and hanging around in our hostel. My friend then send me a message and said that he wanted to show us around Seoul with his car. We said ok but told that we had to be back in Hongdae by 6pm because we were meeting with our friend later in the evening.
So my friend took us to a small cafee in a quiet area and we just talked there and drank cofe. When we were trying to get back to Hongdae there was a huge traffic jam and in the end we arrived at Hongdae at 7pm. Luckily our next meeting was at 8pm in Iwa.
At 8pm we met with our finnish friend who had been stydying in Korea for a year now. We want to buy some clothes and shoes. Then we ate a bit and went to a coffee shop to talk about.. well nothing important. :D
Our friends asked if we wanted to go with them to a Ho bar for drinks and we were like why not. But it turned out to be the wrong choise because in the end we were drinking with some locals and let's just say that we drank a bit too much...

Note to myself: Don't drink too much next time.

To Daegu! 21.6

Today we left Jeju. We had to wake up early to make sure that we made it to the plane. In the end we had to wait for an hour at the airport. -___-

Back in Seoul we transfered from the airport to a busterminal. We were right in front of the terminal but we still got a bit lost... Now how is that even possible? Anyway, we found our way inside the terminal and bought tickets to Daegu. The bus ride took about 4 hours. I spent half of it sleeping and half by listening to music.

When we got to the end station our friend was there to meet with us. We took a taxi to our hostel but there was some kind of misunderstanding (because they over booked the hostel) so we had to change our hostel. Well it's the same hostel but another building. We went to a Italian restaurant to eat with our friend. Maiju wanted to have some western style food. But how can risotto be that spicy!?

After we had eaten we dropped by our hostel and Maiju went to sleep because she wasn't feeling well. Me and Erika still went out with our friends. They took us to a coffee shop and we ate patbingsu (green tea ice cream) and cinnamon honey bread. They tasted sooooo good. ^^ From there we went to noraebang~ It was really fun! Why don't we have those in Finland, why? T___T

Incheon chinatown 17.6

Today we met with my friend on Incheon. It had been two years since we last met so I was really really happy that I could meet him again. So we went to chinatown and because Maiju and Erika were hungry they went to eat so me and my Korean friend were walking around the area for a few minutes until we decided to go to eat too. He said that he would pay the food for me, how sweet. :) After that we went to our meeting place to wait for Erika and Maiju. While waiting we went to this small cafe that sold bubble tea. Th tea was good but... I didn't like those "bubble" things in it. ^^" Later Maiju and Erika also came to the cafe and after a little break we went to explore around the area. We were just walking whitout a destination in the area and we found a lot of funny or beautiful things. A pipe, birds, pictures, fountain and so on... We also found a small baseball course(?) and my friend wanted to try it. Oh we also found this small park where they had different fitness equipments and ofcourse we went there to play with them, especially Maiju... hahaha! :D When we were walking back to the station there was a fountain where a lot of kids were playing. They looked so cute! And guess who of us went to play in the fountain too... MAIJU! kkkk ^^

So in Seoul we went to Hongdae and drank a cup of coffee in Dunking' Donuts. We spent there a lot of time just talking to each others. Maiju said that she needed a new bag so we were off to Bag Hunting. At firts it looked lik there weren't any good shops where she could buy a bag but in the end we found a really good shop where also me and Erika bought a bag. Now everyone of us girls was happy with a new bag. ^^

After that it was time for us to depart from my friend and me and Maiju went to wash our laundry. The guys from our hostel asked us again to go party with them but I was too tired and feeling sick so I stayed at home and went to sleep early. Later I found out that I had a slight fever. :<

Shopping 15.6

We met with Erika at Hongdae station and took the subway to Samsong where we walked to Coex shopping mall. We were just hanging around the mall. We went to Art Box and I bought 3 note books. The shop was so cute! I wanted to buy everything from there. Luckily (or not) we have Art Box right next to our hostel. ^^ We found a music shop and went to see if there were some good CDs, but didn't find anything. :<  While walking around we found a Starbucks and decided to take a break. I took an ice coffee, but forgot to ask for a latte so I didn't drink much of it. After we left the coffee shop we didn't know where we were. :D Well no big deal, we just went to shops and walked around until we found our way outside again. The weather was nice so we sat outside for awhile before we made our way to Iwa. We were getting a bit hungry so the frist thing we did in Iwa was; we searched for a reastaurant and orderd some food. The only problem was that it was so spicy that I couldn't eat a lot of it. XD When we had eaten we wandered around the streets and went to a few shops. It was getting late so me and Maiju decided to go back to our hostel. As soon as we made it there we went to sleep, because we knew that the next day we were going to go hiking and it would take a lot of energy.

In the end I bought only 3 shirts for me. :< But no worries, we're gonna go shopping next week too hahaha. :D

Bad quality T___T  The last shirt is green.
