Itaewon Adventure

On Saturday I went to Itaewon to meet with a friend. This City was filled with foreigners. It felt like I was back in the States. We walked around and then had dinner at a Mexican restaurant called Taco, which was good considering we were in Korea. We then went to Starbucks and hung out there for a while. Once it cooled down out side, we went to What the Book, it is a bookstore with used books. You can also go there and sell your books. I purchased Korean for Dummies. Hopefully I will I can learn some Korean :) 

Afterwards we went to a bar and had a few drinks and started to go back around 10:15 pm. By the time I got to Seoul Station it was 11:00. I am not sure if the subway stops running at 11:30 or 12:00, but it was defiantly closing soon. I went to the train station, and there were no more trains going back to Pyeongtaek. I went back to the subway, but by the time the metro I needed to take back home came it was 11:20 and I didn’t want to risk taking it and it stopping at some random City since I knew it would take an hour and a half to get out to Pyeongtaek, so I stayed in Seoul for the night. 

I think I stayed at a love motel. The other option was a jjimjilbang, but I did not want to sleep in that heat again. When I paid for my room I got a toothbrush. Inside there was a TV, air-conditioner, a shower, and I also think there was X Box. The next morning I walked around the city for a while, but everything was closed. I don’t know if that was because it was Sunday or if it was still too early, but it was after 9:00 am. I had breakfast at Dunkin Doughnuts and took a train back to Pyeongtake.

I went to Diaso, which was at the station. Diaso is a store for home stuff for really cheap. I went there with the intention to buy a new shower curtain, but came out with all this instead:

Everything was under 30,000 won
