11th day in Korea

19th December, 2011 (7:36pm Korea time)

Hola!!
Tonight I actually have time to write a blog :)
Let me give you an over view of what happened today. Hm.. Give me a sec to remember. Ah, in the morning we went to collect my dads business cards.. They looked pretty original but its alright. They worked really hard on it to make it on time for us :) thank you to the two men 'ahjussi' which means men (30-50) in Korean.

And then we went to hongdae to go shopping. But all the clothes were winter fashion. And you know that I will die of heat wearing that. My auntie told us that they have the best 'dokbokgie' there. And she was right!

Most 'dokbokgie'(spicy rice cake) is really spicy but this was sweet and yummy with a hint of spice. Plus, it was really cheap!! $2.50 for a whole plate of them. Apparently, it's because its near highschools. And when school finishes and students are looking for a snack to eat its there affordable and very delicious.

Oh, and if you want to go to Korea! Make sure you buy some face or body products. They are much cheaper and is great quality. So, my mum got excited and bought BB Cream. Which is sunscreen and foundation together with whitening cream. Or something like that.. Yeh, there were so many tourists there buying a lot of stuff. And I mean A LOT!!

Then we went to this HUGE book shop. Its filled with stores, books an cafe's. Books are a bit cheaper. I'm so excited I'm going to buy a yiruma book :). It's cheaper to buy it online.

Now I'm at my grandmas house. In my cousins bedroom since hes in the army. On a nice bed with the heated blanket underneath. I want to eat ribs.. Hurricane has the best ribs. You know the one in darling harbor.

Oh, I'm going to see snow on Wednesday :)
But I'm scared coz I've never took ski lessons. My friend from long ago(Joseph) said that snowboarding is really hard for first timers. Haha.. He tried and he kept falling on his butt. :)

Just before I was watching the news and the prime minister or whatever he was died on saturday. He was in charge of north Korea. Died of a sudden heart attack in a train on the way to something. Apparently, they are to grieve over him till dec 29. It's on the news right now. And Korea is tightening their army security just incase they attack. Oh! I was on the train with my mum. And this grandpa was holding a sign. I couldn't be bothered to read it. But my mum was like.. Turn around. An I was like meh.. Grandpa holding a sign . But it ended up saying something like this 'Korea should have nucleur too because we look weak against the others'. And i was shocked!!! I don't wanna die!! Noo... But everyone else ignored it. Except for some other grandpa.. Fully supporting him.

I feel sorry for my cousin. He's in the army right now.. And since he's on active and the north Koreans might attack.. He's only 20-21. Let them be free.. Conscription is bad! But then again, its not that bad. It's like training. But if a war comes he has to go.

WE WANT PEACE!! NOT WAR!!

Hey you know the song from 'gullivers travel' and 'agent Cody banks 2(love the movie btw)'.

WHAT IS WAR GOOD FOR? ABSOUTELY NOTHING!!
