Woke up thinking ' Where the hell am I?' I thought I was in prison for a second, lying on a mattress in a room with no windows! Then I remembered, I'd fallen asleep in the massage place. The sweet little thai man came in and told me it was noon and he'd bought in a little bottle of ginseng on a tray. Its almost like being at a hotel except you get a massage for the same money! I won't lie, its not the first time the little thai man has woken me up with a bottle of ginseng! So I got up had a shower and cleaned my teeth and I left feeling as right as rain. Coffee was the order of the day, coffee, coffee in the sunshine! Found a nice little place to sit outside, actually got a little sun burnt. The went off to meet Heeji Peeji in Gangnam as we were off to see the Kasuma Yayoi exhibition, which is quite a trek away, accidently got off the train at Seoul National University instead of Seoul National University of Education and got very confused, but then I realised my mistake and then I actually bumped into Heeji on the platform, she was wearing a very cute dress, and I said she could be my Gangnam Girl! Gangnam is sort of like Chelsea, over priced and lots of rich people, but lots of fun to be had to. Anyways we had some breakfast and then went to find the gallery via a very pleasant walk through a park. Bless Heeji she thought she had booked the tickets but had forgot to press the last confirm button or something so we had to queue. The queue was enormous! But in a way it was good to see that modern Art is so popular and thriving in Seoul. Mind you everything's popular in Korea, because Koreans just love everything!! Anyways the exhibition was really good, well it was a spectacle and visually very appealing but I don't think there was too much depth to it, just a mad woman painting pretty pictures with dots! But we had a real laugh so it was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon!
When we came outside it was high time for a beer in the sunshine, oh wait I just remembered, I really must start forgetting about the option of having a beer in the sunshine a reasonable request here. haha! But actually we did find quite a nice little italian place that let us have a beer on the terrace, it was very pleasant but there was no sunshine, you have to be happy just to be able to sit outside.
Anyways then we got a taxi to meet my bestest friends Vicky and Michelle, who had been away and I hadnt see for ages, plus Vicky is leaving so it was kind of like a leaving dinner for her. We went to a Brazilian place in Itaewon. Brazillian is just like an absolute meat fest! They just keep on bringing out more and more different varieties of steak and pork, but it tastes so good you litterally eat until you cant eat another mouthful, then you have about 6 more! Those Brazilians sure do know how to cook a steak. After dinner we went to this new hookah place on a roof top terrace, there were 2 german chaps with us as well so we were 6. The Laura turned up! Hooray!! I love Laura shes from Wales and is also one of my bezzies, shes well funny! We played some funny games and had a laugh. Then this comedy Portugese bay called Pedro, joined us and we went to Prost for a Margarita, as you cannot go to Itaewon with Michelle Penn without going to Prost for a Margarita!
Pedro persuaded us to go to this underground House music club, which turned out to be brilliant, the music was amazing and we danced and danced all night. After we were danced out, Heeji went home and we went Seoul pub, for a couple of beers before home! Hell of a day, Hell of a night!!!
Me and my favourite girlies and a german!
