Seoul Sunday Before Classes Started

Sunday (August 31, 2013), I was full-blown sickness. I needed some meds, but the last thing I wanted to do was get out of bed… Also, it was Sunday so no pharmacy is open. Around one o’clock, I finally got up, and walked to the common room to make a powder drink for food. It’s the only thing I have for food at the moment (So sad). As I make my “food” at the common room, Francise asked me if I want to go to 남대문, which is a huge flea market in Seoul with really food and goods for dirt cheap. I thought this would be a great opportunity for me to get some good soup for my throat and headache. We headed out at 2 pm. It was a good group of people going, and we were ready to shop, but no one did the research... A little delays in the start at the station because we had to take the time to figure out how to get there. While this was happening, I am having a full-fledged hot flash, and it wasn't even that hot. The alcohol and sickness was just oozing out of my sweat, and I was nobody’s prom date. I looked a hot mess! We got to 남대문, and we first ate! I had this really really really good chicken soup, which was perfect for my cold. It was a blend soup with a full chicken and inside the chicken they stuff rice and dates. I enjoyed every bite!
After the meal, we walked around 남대문 for a couple hours, and we were ready roll out to another part of our adventure. We are meeting up with the girls for the light show! We got back to the dorms and freshened up a bit, and we rode the metro and walked about an hour and a half, and we finally got to the bridge where the light show was. Oh I was able to find a pharmacy that was open inside the metro and got some meds! By this time everyone was starving, I mean STARVING. There were 13 of us in total, and so we found a delivery boy and ordered six fried chicken and 4 beer. They told us 40 minutes… That 40-minute was the most painful 40 minutes of my life. I was so hungry, so I was a complete biatch! The water show was uneventful and anticlimactic, but it was cute.The food came after what felt like forever minutes of waiting. We chowed down on some chicken and beer. I don’t know if it was delicious because we were dying of starvation, or if it was actually delicious. Nevertheless, I had a good meal, and we came back home, and I went to bed.Classes finally started. I stressed enough to get into all my classes and trying to argue with professors to let me in the class, and that was the rest of my week.Story of my Jeju Island trip coming soon!!!
