Seoul Friendship and Lotus Lantern Festival

07 May 2011


Class ended at exactly 4:30 PM and I've got to go right away because Micah and Krish are already at the City Hall!


1630h I rushed to the subway and met Tin at Dongdaemun station at around 5 PM. We reached the city hall at 5:25 PM. Krish gave us a call to inform us that they're waiting at Dunkin Donuts straight out of the subway exit having some snacks.

The Seoul Friendship Fair 


* We started at farthest booth near stage and had photo with some Irish men. 
* Wore costumes from different Nationalities
* Photo-ops with booths from different nations. We'd even ask foreigners to pose with us. ^^
* Took macro shots of plants around the place.
* Booth-hopped from one country to another.
* Went to see international children's painting display






At 7:00 pm, we were getting even hungrier so we checked out the food fair. Too bad, it was almost finished and everyone was packing out T___T" We were too eager to try out different dishes only to get tok. T___T"
We ate some patty with tok and sausages and went to the giant "kuhol" where we took photos with the World Vision display.


We met up with Kuya Nads and other FILIPOZENS at Mr.Pizza and we got a treat from Kuya Marzy! ~^^


After dinner, we photo-walked at Jonggak. *Night Photography / Long Exposure Practice*




Cheonggye Square


We went down the bridge to do long exposure shots with Kuya Marzy as the mentor. Thanks to his heavy-duty tripod! ~^^ 


There were lots of couples around so I also took "couple" shots. LOL


It's past 12 midnight and we were still up and ready for more action. Where to go???


We decided to go for samgyeopsal and shots of soju and mekju! And to Hyehwa we go!

THE AMBUSH KIDS ATTACK


We met up with Corinna at the pub and had some soju and beer. To make the long story short, by 4:30am, 
Corinna: "Kuya Marzy, magbabayad na po"
And Kuya Marzy got ambushed again...LOL


Upon reaching Tin's dorm, I simply went straight to bed knocked down. =))


We were supposed to go to Incheon but we woke up to the 10am alarm at Tin's dorm with Micah sharing the bed with me. I sure had a good sleep, I wonder with Micah...? =))


We went to have lunch at the best budaechige resto and heard mass at 1:30pm (Filipino mass) at Hyehwa church. After mass, we went to visit the FILIPOS booth at the Filipino fair behind the church. Micah shopped for delicacies and squeezed out discounted 2k from Kuya Jay. LOL


The mbush kids again were able to convince Kuya Pudu to buy empanada for us. The ambush kids did it again. LOL


Going back home, Micah and I rode the 1740h trip of the Mugunghwa train.
In the train, we were entertained by three Japanese guys flirtin' with a Korean girl and a bilingual kid as we tried to interpret their conversations since we couldn't sleep. LOL
Micah got off at Cheonan by 1845h and I reached Jochiwon at 1906h. I went to dorm and dozed off. EXHAUSTED BUT HAD EPIC FUN! ~^^
