Myeongdong & fishy dinner!

Shopping in Myeongdong! I love that place :) A shoppingstreet where more than 1 million people go through on busy days, with all the known chainstores that I like (21 forever), small stores, and streetvendors. What else would you want from a shoppingplace? and for lunch we had mandu at one of the most popular mandu-shops in Korea!

In the evening I went to meet Zuzana at the fish market. The dinner we had was very interesting. We walked around, picked a fish we wanted together with some weird looking thing and some scallop. The fishmarketplace cut the fish for us, and then brought us to a restaurant. The restaurant prepared the dinner for us which was raw fish with salad and some dipping sauce. The weird looking thing from earlier was cut into pices and it was still moving when we eat it. and the scallops were barbecued. After this we got a fish soup boiled on the left over fish!
The people next to us were eating octopus. They took a whole (about a handsized) octopus and boiled it. after a while I noticed they were using scissors to chop the octopus head, and you could see the black lead the octopus had inside its head. was looking a bit shocked, so they asked if I wanted to try one. Octopus head with black lead is really not one of my fav dishes :/ But all in all a really great day and evening!

I'm never leaving Korea again!

Being back is so much fun! I have done so much of the things I have missed.

My first day in Seoul I had a bit of trouble finding the hostel, but after some help from some nice Koreans I finally found it. After that I walked around in my area, Sinchon, for a while, before I went to Hongdae. In Hongdae I meet Jeeyoon!! We eat Chiken dalgobi (yummi!!), went to a bar to have some yogurt-soju, stopped by Mama Gorilla to take pictures, and then went to Norebang. I tried to sing both Lovey-Dovey and Lonely, but neither worked out to well. Still fun though!! after being there for a while we went back to Mama Gorilla and joined some random Koreans for a drinking game!!! Fun night!!

Yesterday I went to meet my mum at the airport. After that I brought her to Hongdae to eat streetfood for lunch! and then I bought a new pair of shoes!! just 50nok, or 10 000 won! In the evening we went to Nokdu to have samgyopsal and makkoli and the makkoli-cafe!

I'm really looking forward to another day in Seoul!

Going back to Seoul!!

One of the girls on my basketball team in Norway is an exchangestudent from Korea. A few weeks ago she held a birthdayparty, and at this party I started talking to one of the other norwegian boys, and he told me he was going to Korea in march because he found some cheap tickets.
I went home and looked at the tickets, spent some days thinking about it, and finally decided!

SO, Im going back to Korea!! Im so excited!!

Ill be in Korea from the 27th of march until april 4th.

At first I was going to go by myself, but then my mum decided to come with me, which Im really excited about. And I have already started making plans for what to do! And Im even practicing a song for Norebang ^^
