Running thru the Streets of S Korea...

birds croaking...
okay, so last night, i went out with a group of new friends, like i mentioned in the previous blog. so, needless to say i did not go exactly to bed when i got back to my room. i did my blog, uploaded photos and so on and so forth. so, i showered, put on my pjs and hit the bed. first thing this morning i was awakened to the screaming of some bird outside of the window.

okay so, shut the window and go back to bed...
you may think, okay so if the bird is too noisy why not just shut your window and go back to sleep...um nope not so much. the air conditioning here is controlled by the building. if i shut the window i will suffocate. therefore, the window is to remain open at all times.

get over it...
so, once that annoying bird woke me up, i decided to go ahead and get up and shower, paint my face, flat iron my hair and put on my clothes because i was in for a really busy day!

what do i call busy...
so once i was ready to walk out of the door. me and a bunch of other esl teachers grouped up and headed to Nanta the musical which is located in Seoul.

Nanta. What tha'...
Nanta is a musical about 3 chefs who are in the kitchen and the pesty head chef informs them of a wedding dinner they must prepare and cook before 6pm. they then have to create this meal and a lot of mishaps happen along the way. It was AWESOME. it kind of reminds me of STOMP but in Nanta they use kitchen utensils and they dance and perform. It was a really neat show and an amazing experience.

what's next...
so, after we saw Nanta, the group split up and did our own thing. myself and two of my new friends decided to explore the streets of insadong (near seoul) s korea! and we had a blast! we took so many photos of absolutely nothing. we were totally craving a "real" meal and decided to head to mcdonalds!!!! yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh a mickey d's in s korea! omg. actually we had several options. we could have had either the mcdonalds, the subway, the burger king and or the kfc. we decided on the all american mc donalds.

big mac with special sauce...
yes, they did indeed have the traditional big mac. to my surprise the menu was much like the menu back in the states. i was kinda disappointed with that. i was expecting. octupus burgers or kimchi flavored fries or something along those lines. now they did have several items that are not on our menu and that is: the shrimp burger (yes shrimp burger), the bogoti burger (i am so sure i spelled that so completely wrong-but in my head i know what i am talking about) and the desserts were way different. the decor of the mickey di's was also very different. very chick. this mcdonalds has 3 or 4 levels and it is so super clean. the mcdonalds has the best recycling system ever. but then again, s korea is extremely efficient and their entire recycling system is so insanely organized. america is so behind and has a life time of catching up to do!

shrimp burger...
um, no i went with the classic shangai spicy chicken sandwhich combo w/fries and a coca-cola. was it good? yes, really good!

pounding the pavement...
so, we walked and walked and walked the streets of s korea. we took so many photos of every possible movement and standstill object, person and or thing we could find. the way the girls dress here is so super cute. i love the ecclectic look. i love the shoes, i love the clothes and the makeup. much different than how us westerners are.

the day is spent...
so, today was a great day. tonight i have decided to stay in catch-up on my emails, upload my photos and steal a bootleg movie on a great internet site. i am so super tired and can barely keep my eyes open.

fbook photos...

smooches...
