홍대걸스 - Nobody

October 21st, 2008

진선 just showed this to me and there was no way I wasn’t going to post it :D [Do be prepared for it to take a while to load for those outside Asia] She had told me that there had been a performance of it at their festival but this is my first time seeing it. It takes place at 홍익대 and apparently the girls made their own costumes and mic stands. I only wish I could have been there to see it in person ^^ I haven’t really been downloading any of the ‘Nobody’ performances which I suddenly feel quite guilty about so maybe I should go and get some of those .tp files floating around.

Oh, and here’s a little something for the ladies. Anyone who says Korean students are all work and no play needs to watch this ;)

[PERF] Wonder Boys on SBS Inkigayo 500th Special

September 8th, 2008

Hooray! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the Special Stage is one of Korea’s finest achievements. I couldn’t help but laugh while watching it and I even warmed a little to that 2AM guy whose name I don’t know :D

Oh, and for people who say that the show was 빅뱅 biased, well of course it was. They are currently the industries leading stars and have just released their latest mini album. God help us when 동방신기 start doing the rounds again :D

[진선] 신촌

June 15th, 2008

It was strange not getting off the bus at Seoul Station as usual but 진선 was waiting for me there after her exam. She walked me to her university and we looked around the garden on campus.

The weather was really good so we decided to walk to 신촌 instead of taking the bus, but not before I picked up a little present for one of my students whose birthday is it next Tuesday. I also picked up the three CDs and posters I wanted in one shop. Pictures to come ;) Afterwards we headed to Starbucks for a quick pick-me-up. As you can see below, we are teh dorks XD

We walked on to 신촌 and had a look around at some shops. The Hyundai Department Store looked appealing to us because it has air conditioning so we looked around at the clothes. 진선 found some really nice Converse trainers that she wanted and so did I but they didn’t have our sizes >> We were not amused…

By this time we were getting a bit hungry so we started looking for somewhere to eat spaghetti and soon found a little place. We both had carbonara and it was really good. We had an annoying waiter who kept treating me like an idiot and speaking English. I hate when they do that.

We walked around some more and looked at a few shops, including one where I tried on a hat XD I don’t really agree with hats but 진선 said it looked OK and that I should really get some for Summer. It started to get dark and we had been planning to go to the cinema today so we went and got tickets for Indiana Jones which was really good as it happened. I’m going to see Kung Fu Panda next weekend too. We grabbed a drink in Starbucks while we waited for the movie.
