This past weekend was probably one of the best weekends I've had since being in Korea. It all started with getting to see an old friend from Etown who just moved to Korea to teach.
Saturday we went to the 2nd Annual Expat Festival, which wasn't really a festival, but rather just a soccer game. Festival or not, it was a good game despite the fact the FC Seoul won 4 to 1. I guess scoring in the first 5 minutes was a good indicator of what was to come. Although next time I want to sit with the FC Seoul fans and not the other expats. They looked a million times more excited to be there and had dances and cheers for everything. Lesson learned!
Afterwards, we went to Hongdae and chilled out. We grabbed some much missed Taco Bell and bought Louie his super cool skeleton and superman Halloween costumes. Which one he'll be remains undetermined at this point. Guess you'll have to wait and see...
We ended the evening at GR8, a hooka bar tucked away in the streets of Hongdae. I've got to say, I'm not much of a hooka fan, but I did really like this place. It was very chill and relaxing. (Minus the drunk foreigners that knocked over a candle and lit their table on fire.)
Sunday was by far the best day of the weekend. Thanks to my friend for putting everything together, we channeled our inner Tarzan and ziplined in the mountains of Mungyeong. The zipline course is 9 lines that are all different. Some lines you lay out like your dead, some you curl into a ball, and others you play darts while on the go. Luckily, we had a good group of people. Although I think they thought we were a little crazy and not being able to understand the directions didn't help.
Afterwards, we went down the road to an old railroad that's been converted into bikes for fun. They were a little slow paced for me personally and I think the dad and small children in front of us wished we weren't there at all. While not paying attention because of some on our bike yelling at cars driving by, we didn't brake in time and had a tiny accident. After a long day, it felt good to get home and reacquaint myself with my old friend, my bed.
Video proof is on it's way! Stay tuned...
