Carol's Gotta Go!
Butt I’m not a Seoul-ja!

Yet!

As I anxiously await the arrival of Suj and her Dad,  I’m gonna go exploring. I woke up at the butt crack of dawn this morning and decided to walk around the area my hostel is in (hongdae - which Mary, the hostel hostess with the mostess, informed me is a combo b/w the Hong from “Hongik University” and whatever “dae” means.)

There’s a TON of trendy shops a and bars. Including one called “Wabar” which is a “western beer bar”. Sold!

Also, I’ve noticed Koreans aren’t big on sunglasses, I’m not getting stared down as much as I was in China, and they LOVE fish here and there’s restaurants all over w/ their tanks outside. It’s like an aquarium every few blocks. I can’t wait to eat them.

Speaking of fish. I think I’m gonna go to the Aquarium today. And probably NOT eat a fish that I pick out of a tank there.

PS. I got a Suntory Highball while at TYO. It’s in a beer can but it’s actually watered down whisky - 7%abv. It made for a good flight to Seoul!
