Waking up at the lovely hour of 2AM having gotten about 4 hours of sleep. I tossed and turned for about an hour before giving it up as a lost cause and watching Korean tv on this remarkably large flat screen. It seriously tickles me how actors and idols we are used to seeing only on YouTube are like EVERYWHERE here. I turn on the tv and first thing I see is a coke ad with 2PM and another ad with Shinhwa. Then the drama comes on and it's Personal Preference with Lee Minho :) Not one of my all time favorites but it wasn't bad. Changed the channel and some random hospital drama came on with the hot gay doctor from To The Beautiful You and the annoying angry dad from Dream High!! We are so isolated in the US :/
Anyway now that I've gotten my super Asian moment out of the way, it is time to continue my aimless wanderings around Gangnam. I love being up so early, when the light is all clear and freshly minted. Everything around me is still so new, I feel so playful and excited just walking around!
Even in my uber-jet lagged state @.@
Also as a side note, I just discovered my hotel room has a doorbell when the staff brought up more tissues for me. YES, A DOORBELL. It's a very pleasant, musical one too not like the DINGDONG ones back home; just loud enough to hear clearly if the tv is on or youre running water but not loud enough to startle. When I turn the tv off too it has this little charming musical riff as it turns off, like its saying byebye! :) Why does being in Korea make me think about how every single inanimate thing is being cute?!?
