Today I wanted to go to the Dongdaemun History & Culture Park, which has historical exhibits, interactive stations, and wide open resting areas. Originally I was planning on coming to Dongdaemun for the massive market shopping area that surrounds the station (which is what I know it for) but upon further investigation I found there was this awesome brand-new park area with art exhibitions and a history museum here I could stroll around in the middle of the city. Its so new, only half the park is actually open lol, construction is still ongoing for the rest. Shopping can wait, I do too much of it anyway lol.
I also had an adjusshi call me "agasshi" for the first time!! This won't mean much to most of you haha but it means a polite "young miss" in Korean, which you hear on all the shows and dramas :D

I met two guys who were from Slovakia too! They were eating in the same restaurant and we had a friendly chat after we'd finished eating since we were the only non-Korean speaking people in there. I had been miming and speaking random Korean words to the waiter and waitress to try to get my meaning across so I was clearly not Korean lol. After that I left and ventured back home via subway. Another successful and wonderfully fun day out :)
Whew. Still with me? Good. Game face on for tomorrow ladies and gents! :)
