Baekjae Stone Tombs, my porky pork and cheap drinking!

hey yo.... times flies .... havent update my blog for 1 whole week........

many tings going on hence havent had the time to blog ..... but too many tings going on so I dunno wat to blog, when to start.... mayb let me organised n start backlog bloggin again...

oh yesh crazy nite after last week.... my class went for another drinking nite again jus on fri (11 May) but dun worry guys i didnt join them.... hahaa.... i decided i cannt b so crazy n make my liver suffer! hahaha.... (as if...) no lah i cant jus spend all my fridays drunk... or being crazy... the biggest reason is I wanna save money... haha rather go shopping then spend on alcohol...

k so on fri after my school, i went over to Co-op residence to help my family book a room for their stay when they visitin me in June.... everything is so cool, i jus reserved the room with my name and that's all... they dun need me to pay any deposit neither do they need any credit card details?!! amazing!

Afterthat, we were totally clueless as where we shld go... so we jus flipped the guide bk and decided on a place ... 석촌동 백제고분군 (Seokchon-dong Early Baekjae Stone Tombs). Yes, you must b wondering why this place?! Cause I guess most of you who knw me well knw that I am currently CRAZY with baekjae's history cause of the Korean drama, Seodongyeo (署童谣) I watched before I came over to korea.... For those who havent watch pls go n watch its an EXTREMELY NICE drama! its better than Dachanggeum... (大长今) haha... sorry me n my virus spreadin....


k so we went over to the place....got a shock cos its actually a park to the locals... so ppl there might b thinking who are these 2 gals snapping photos in our park?! haha... bt its quite interesting to see the stone tombs... n sometimes you really wonder how these ppl frm the olden days made them and can even stack them nicely? it so happened that one of the tomb has a circular formation which is constructed somehow similar to sm tombs in Japan....


Just as we reached our destination, I received a call from Kevin씨, checking where are we.... so i told him we are at Jamsil (somewhere near Lotteworld) and he was totally SHOCKED cos we are so near to his house.... haha... kena scolding frm him cos we didnt tell him we are ard there which is so near his house.... :P

n since we are so near to him, we decided to meet up for dinner n drink (YES drink again?!!) haiz.... cos in korea its cheaper and more worthwhile to drink then drinkin soft drink or coffee?! haha....

so we went to a place he recommended (to b exact his friend recommended cos he didnt knw the exact location and called his friend to confirm... ) Hahahaa... again.... so funny... we keep asking him if he is a korean cos he didnt knw Sinchon well too (the last time we met the same ting happened). So we were walking up and down the street, finally we found the place...

Compeitition is so fierce at the place we went to... cos ppl are practically pullin guests on the street to their restaurant... kind of scary!! so we decided to speak in ENglish loudly so these ppl wont pull us knowing that we are foreigners...


We went to a Korean BBQ restaurant.... YES MY Porky pork!!! apparently this restaurant is popular among korean celebrities.... n we happened to sit at a table wif celebrities autographs like Tony Ahn and Seven .... (the only signatures we can figure out). but too bad we didnt manage to see any on tat day....

The food is SO YUMMYY!!!!! nice nice nicE! n we had san sa ju (산사주) , another kind of korean wine.... nice nice.... slightly less alcoholic content than soju and is sweeter


afterwhich, we went to a pub to chill out... had ASAHI beer (someting familar) and a shot of tequila.... yesh i tink i gonna b alcoholic soon.. but man this pub we went to is called H2O and the beer in it are really cheap... a shot of tequila is only 2000 won or 2500 won about S$3.50 - S$4.50 (cant rmbr the price exactly). Fun as we were talking about World cup 5 yrs ago when Korea had the 4th placing, how all of us asians were all cheering for Korea!! We talking about national service too... haha funny topic ah? cos we saw this soldier in uniform enter the pub and sat infront of us wif his girlfriend... so out of curiousity i asked if its allow for the soldier in uniform to drink or smoke in the public? ...erm... different culture mah so kapo wanna ask lor

GREAT and we went back at abt 11pm plus... took the subway n man the subway is sO CRAzy!! so many ppl we have to practically squeeze ourselves in it! its really like sm japanese drama whereby the train is so fully packed that your face can be pressed againist the glass door.... haha


didnt join my classmates... but was told tat they went back to the same restaurant n KTV and sang till 5am in the morning!! *phew.... luckily i escaped..... hahaha....


Here are some pics we took.... yes again we n our crazy poses:
