korea korea korea

well.. its been five days since i landed in the pot of kimchi... hahah i managed to get in blogspot.. hahah maintenance complete i guess... you'll never guess where am i right now.. hahahaim in a salon.. getting my hair done.. hahaha digital perm yall... while im waiting for my hair to get done and pretty i get to use the internet... how freakking cool is that.. and yes aplc is getting another crazy hairdo.. 4 months in japan without any trimming my frinch was practically gone.. im here to get another one plus.. them curls.. hahahha

right.... what about korea? its VERY different from japan... i mean like the road system is totally whacked up? messy.. too difficult for me to understand.. i mean like when you use the zebra crossing.. its like you dont use the light signals to tell you when you can use it.. you just cross... if you get hit.. the driver pays... i know thats pretty normal duh.. thats the purpose of a zebra crossing.. but when it comes to big roads.. i mean like 4 roads one.. yeah i think i prefer a traffic signal thingy.............. ow my head hurts.... this thing burns man... i never knew digital perming hurts...

next thing different form japan is that the bus systems are different too.. in japan you take the ticket and pay later.. in korean its the opposite.... hmm what else? hmm i never thought that i would find a place in which it would be totally foreign to me.. of all the countries ive travelled to.. i mustsaythat korea is the first in which i dont understand anything i see... really at least in japan china hongkong.. all of them speak chinese/ japanese and have kanji.. thoseare not totally foreign to me... i mean first off.. i understand a bit of chinese and japanese already.. and then the kanji.. well i read manga and studied a bit of chinese already. therefore not totally alien to me.. hahaha.. in korea.. everything is in kroean with their cute korean letters.. i dont get anything whatthey say to me and i cant make oaut anything.. SO ALIEN... in korea i realize that im dependant on my japanese skills... cos why? my korean friend cant speak much english so i jope after my korean trip.. my level of japanese level jumps by a WHOLE LOT.. so yeah...

right... enough about differences.. lets see day one.. restthe whole day.. oh yerah before that!! it was supposed to be three of us going.. bruneian, korean and mongolian.. he was supposed to go to korea to visit his sister but all of a sudden.. the ticketing person said that his passport has no visa to enter korea.. and shit i was like already panicking cos i dont know shit about visas and whether i could go or not... and then the lady checked mine.. she said i was dai jou bu.. in other words.. no problem.... thank you bruneian passport.. hahah so the guy couldnt go... we were all sad.. cos it took us 2 and a half hours to get to the airport and a lot of money too... 250 plus 890 plus 130 yen yeah just to get to the airport.. 2hrs some more... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. poor boy... very sad lah..

anyways got to korea.. picked up by yj's parents very nice people by the way.. i still dont know what to call them... ajumma? ajoshi? aunty? uncle? yeah first day rest.. second day... went with yj and her friends to the famous beach in korea.. where movies are shot.. haha camped overthere too.. Cheongdongjin.. well their beaches are different in a way that the sand is much more coarse.. and a lot of cigarette buds mixed with the sand.. kinda disgusting.. and then they had the banana boat thingy... speed boat thingy.. and the floats.. was fun.. no waves at all.. and the water was freakking cold.. oh and i must say.. it took like forever to get to the beach.. i mean like... 6hrs from seoul using the train.. hahaha almost finished reading my storybook.. (tales from Earthsea Ursula Le Quinn) name correct also i dunno.. but im reading in preparation for the new gibli movie... Gedo Senki.. hahah im that freakky... yeah played in the sand.. got a bit darker.. made friends with her friends.. hahaha they spoke a bit of japanese too... at night we ate sam gyop sal and kimchi chige sp is questionable... drank beer.. and korean alcohol... haha played all the way till one when i konked out.. i havent got drunk yet in korea or in japan.. so sad... couldnt drink anymore.. was too full to continue drinking.. hahah but i talked to them which was cool cos i thought they wouldnt want to talk to me since their friend was there.. but they were nice... yays.. anyway.. they played the korea version of concentration.. which was cool cos it was a remix.. cos in brunei we only play like one on one when in korea they have the remix version where you an go up to two on two in one time and also a turbo when two persons attack the same person.. was wicked cool.. i wish i could have played too but.. different language..sigh...

next day.. went back to seoul.. to yj's house.. and rest and then the mom belanja us out for dinner.. and oh i must say i LOVE korean food.. they so spicy.. ive been eating super spicy food for 5 days non stop.. i think i should eat normal non spicy food for a while.. non good for them stomach walls eh? but i love spice!!! i ate doppoki thingy... with noodles.. and yes i use their metal chopsticks and also their elongated spoons... which are cool.. but i suck in using normal chopsticks to begin with so.. yeah.. i suck...

next day went to Changdokgoong... big palace man.. and then went to some tourist place.. to buy omiyages.. and then ate at a real doppoki stand.. and then the mom belanja us spicy fried chicken.. damn.. and then ice cream.. and then went back.. ok that was short cos i have to wash hair now.. continue laters.. if i have time....

loves aplc
