The pictures are great today so I’ll try to keep the writing down :) Met 진선 in Smoothie King and then we took the train to City Hall and walked to 광화문. We were both a bit hungry so we went to 봉추찜닭, a little restaurant and had 찜닭. It was really delicious despite my spoon and chopsticks attempting to foil my efforts at every turn.

The real reason we chose 광화문 was because we could sit by 청계천 and dip our feet in the water. Well as you can see from the pictures above and in the gallery, we did just that. It was gorgeous because there was a nice breeze and the water was a pleasant temperature. We spent a long time just sitting and catching up before we decided we needed some coffee. Onwards to A Twosome Place!

We both had coffee and yoghurt which we finished quite quickly. As we still felt lazy, 진선 whipped out her Nintendo DS and we played Mario Kart DS and listened to music for ages. We did really well actually and I was quite proud because it was my first time playing it :D

I was accused of choosing only the most embarrassing pictures of 진선 for my blog so I thought I would post some more of me, and more specifically, my ‘Smexy Alex Shoot’. It’s definitely one for the ladies ;) Oh, and 서영, if you want to get out of the relationship now after realising how unattractive your boyfriend is, it’s cool. I totally understand :P *crawls under the desk*

This deserves a bigger picture because, well it’s Epik High. And let it be known, that if I can nab another of these, Sandy, I’ll put it in the post for you ;)

[진선] 광화문

August 1st, 2008

Two new phone straps purchased today :D First up is my Anycall Man who I have named Tablo and then there is my pet giraffe after my Default Random Word.

I forgot to bring my Nikon with me today. I failed D: This is the reason there aren’t many pictures today but we did still have a nice walk around 광화문. The day actually started with a trip to Smoothie King to plan out where we were going. Once we got to 광화문, we went to Hot Tracks where I bought two new phone charms and we had a look at some music.

For lunch we ate at KFC which was immense because it’s the first burger and fries I’ve been in Korea XD We sat by 청계천 for a while and then when we were finished letting the wind blow any sense of style out of our hair we decided to try out TOM N TOMS. I was pleasantly surprised but still prefer Starbucks, although the addition of cinnamon to their menu wouldn’t go amiss.

After we were done we went to sit down by 청계천 again and dip our feet in the water. It was nice to just sit and talk for a while and rest our feet. We also outlined our plans for the next time we meet, which consists of a trip to a park and lots of stupid poses. Be ready :D

[진선] 광화문 & 용산

May 4th, 2008

I got to Seoul Station at 11am and 진선 arrived about 10 minutes after. We headed straight for the bus to 광화문 and then walked to the CD store to look for CDs and posters. I picked up 슈퍼주니어 엠 - Me for me and 이바디 - Story Of Us for 진선.

Afterwards where we had a look around the Palace Museum. I wasn’t allowed to take pictures inside so here’s some of the outside.

By this time we were hungry so we walked around and found a nice little しゃぶしゃぶ restaurant. It was a really pleasant and relaxing atmosphere inside and the food was gorgeous. I ordered the food…in Korean and I was surprised at the quantity. After we thought we were finished, the waiter brought some rice over. I suggested we finish off with some ice cream, mostly because I had burnt my tongue but also because it looked so good on the table to our left. Green tea for me and yoghurt for 진선.

It was as we were waiting for our ice cream that 진선 showed me Nobuta 2 :D What she’s done is take a T-Money phone strap and build a mini pig around it :D

Next stop was 용산 to see a man about a camera which he duly fixed in double quick time and even threw in a free dust blower. I love that guy. We were feeling hot so we headed to Baskin Robbins for more ice cream. We ended up having fruit smoothies instead but it was equally good. We also spent a long time doodling in her notebook.

After the break we went to the department store on the other side and had a look around the at the clothes. I saw another 빅뱅 poster so I took a shot of it and then bought myself a nice Polham t-shirt because it was endorsed by Tablo and some other K-Pop stars.

진선 and I sat down for a rest and took some photos of the two of us for all those whingers that complained about not seeing enough of me (you know who you are).

The last stop was Starbucks for a mango and passion fruit smoothie for me and a vanilla cream frappuccino for 진선. As you can see, we did some more doodling.

She walked me to the bus stop and then I headed home. It was a great day out and I can’t wait to go back to 서울 again…oh wait, that’ll be tomorrow then :D You can view the entire album at my .Mac Gallery.
