God I'm missing real food. The school food is starting to make me sick... but I made a crap-ton of miso soup to take in, so I just have to remember it.
Anyways, last week was Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving), so I had a little break finally!!! I really needed it too. Was hoping to go to Japan, but put it into action too late. Sad day that.
But, I made the most of it... once I stopped being sickly sick. Love that, when you start a vacation stuck in bed... great time.
But yeah, only let that incapacitate me for one day.
Didn't matter much, it was still raining. Three-four days straight, but the weather has been darn nice since.
Wednesday went on a "not-date" with a random guy~ hahaha. I met
him online in March or April? First time we met though. He's nice... enough...
maybe. hahaWe went to Outback Steakhouse to see Daniel Henney... but though he was on the menu, it didn't say how much. XD
Then we walked around and had ice cream. Thought about seeing a movie, but for some reason he didn't think I could watch movie that had no English or subs. What's that about? It's a moving picture... I'll get something anyways~! hehe
Then he dropped me at home and I took the subway to the grocery... which was closed. Then walked back by the river... which had apparently been so high while I was sick that it took out parts of the crossing bridges and most the plants nearby.
Thursday, I took a trip to Suwon to visit a college friend. She, however,
was in Seoul most the day, so I was 
left to amuse myself. Told the bus driver
where to let me off, love when they are helpful! Especially since I was getting
off near a large supermarket and we went by like 3 of them from the same chain!
Did some window shopping and went to see the new Ghibli movie. Sadly it was
in Korean, didn't want to wait until 7pm for the Japanese one, since it was
2pm. But I was happy that I understood 90% from the moving picture and about 5%
from the little Korean I know! :)
Did more window shopping and walked about taking pictures and being an
escaped zoo animal for people to watch. Even saw some cute guys ;)
Once my friend came we went to dinner, Korean BBQ first time I had ribs at
one~ Pretty good mind you. Then we drank, then some pool, and finally it was
"home time".
Friday not so exciting: Went to the bank and transferred my money home. Maybe even made a new friend, but not sure yet. Have to see if she calls :)
Was supposed to meet my Korean "little sister", but she was visiting her Grandma. She left for 9 months on Saturday to study abroad... sad, sad day. I miss her already.
Saturday went out at night to meet my Suwon friend in Seoul. I went drinking with her, her boyfriend, and a few of his friends. Within two hours (and after drinking a bottle of Absolute alone--but not knowingly) I was drunker than I ever have been, and hopefully ever will be even close to again. It majorly sucked. I felt bad being the drunk who needed help... other than the friend who was completely passed out.
*The bf called his sister, who came in time to help me (it was the first time I'd ever been so drunk I got sick, and apparently I only speak Japanese when drunk ;) and the drunker guy to a motel. She spoke some Japanese, so we conversed: me drunkenly and her shyly. Great time that.
Once they found a motel, I didn't sleep much and washed my clothes in the sink and took a looooooooong hot shower! Then left after the trains started at 5:30am.
Anyways, I promised to go visit my friend in Daejeon that day. So I went home--2 hours on the trains, took a short nap, then got up and ready. Took a bus--another 2 hours, but this time a great nap time because I didn't need to worry about stops or transfers!
Daejeon was fun. We walked around downtown, and ate some Japanese food for
lunch. Then we had some ice cream and went to see "Despicable Me" (or
"Super Bad" in Korea) in 3D. It was great.
Then we had some funky-style fries and walked and talked a bit more before
my return bus. Another great nap followed.So ended my awesome vacation. :d
