Places we Like

This is the Downstairs Lounge...


International Cooperation
This is our dear chingoos Amy from Kentucky and Roberto from Monterey. No not California, Mexico. Habitual characteristics 1: Amy punches/pumps arms expressing approval. Me and Roberto have a certain pose we make consistently for pictures and in real life (photographic proof to come)


Ramen Robot: 1000 won
You put in a 1000 won bill and this ramyun (Korean for spicy top ramen) comes out. It was broken so some people were repairing. I snapped a picture of the naked ramen robot.


Tons of Studying: Lies
A lineup of Macs...

Lots of Takeout: Truth
Hannah!!! from San Jose/San Francisco and Maricarmen from Monterrey. No not California, Mexico. They are enjoying our favorite 4th meal, jyajyangmyun and jyajyangbap or tangsoo. Its Korea-Chinese food. Black bean with noodles and rice. And also fried pork with sweet-sour sauce (detailed photos to come).

Places We Lik

So this is Chobang...


Teammate Gelli


Teammate James

This is our favorite cafe. Its really close to our dorm. Chobang is a children's book publication that happens to run a cafe/children's book gallery. Theres tons of original or translated works. Also they sell cool nicknacks. I like Nicknacks. We come here and study for hours and hours. Sometimes we meet Giggle Fitzgerald here. They also project films onto the far wall. This particular time had The Balloon playing. Lets go banging! Chobanging... (sorry)

Fish 하고 Cake 하고 Beer

They went to Doctor Fish Cafe...

FISH !!SYMBIOTIC RELATIONS PIMP!! FISH



So, you pay the equivalent of 8-9 dollars. You get choice of cake and coffee, tea, or beer. We opted for choco-cake and beer. Then, you go to the feet bath to wash your feets. After the feet ablution you take a hike to the middle of the Doctor Fish Cafe and theres a pool. You sit on the edge and dunk your feet. Fish begin to nibble on your feet. It tickled. A lot. Great.

The one where they go to Gyeongju

So we went to Gyeongju...
This is what i saw...



This is the Bulguksa Temple. We stayed here for a good hour and a half. Taking Pictures...



This is Namsan of Gyeongju. Apparently everyone has a Namsan.

Some more pictures to come for Gyeongju...
