Day-trip

Went to Seoul for a day-trip on Saturday. Met up with Joanna at Hongdae for some Mexican food (delicious burrito) and then went to Namdaemun to do some souvenir shopping with Lisa. Found a nice little clock for the kindergarten teacher and then went off to the Lotte shopping mall. After meeting up with the kindergarten teacher and her family, we decided to watch New Moon. Since the teacher's husband works for Lotte, we were able to go into this VIP lounge for a special viewing of the movie. I've never seen anything like it. The special screening had its seats set up in groups of 2 (for dates) with walls between every second chair (this way you don't see what another couple is doing). The chairs were mini-sofas with reclining leg and back rests. There was also a button to call a server who brought food and drinks to your private table. I was pretty mesmerized at the setting. The movie itself was ok, and I could see why lots of girls would like it. Since the movie ended late, we missed the last bus headed out of Seoul to our town. So, we took a 2-hour taxi ride back to Jangpyeong. Ok, it's time to start class...peace.
