South Korea Trip Day 8 Back to Seoul, Ewha University, Gangnam Street
We checked out from the hotel in Jeju, then turned to the airport to fly back to Seoul, I grabbed a donut & ate it on board, bye bye Jeju Island.
In Seoul, we headed directly from the airport to Ewha University, but we arrived before our appointment, so we wandered around the shopping area next to it.
Unlike other places in Seoul where people tend to be cold & wont even notice you, this place consists of University students that rudely stare & laugh in groups, it really sucked coz I was walking alone while being bullied by them.
Anyways, I didn’t find any clothes, as I mentioned before Korean-style dresses aren’t appealing to me, I merely got some accessories such as pink ribbon hair pins, it’s very cute, I wish I bought some more, also a doll & Charmander socks.
As for food, I ate a potato bun, an omelette tortilla & ofcourse lemonade <3
The University tour started, we had to walk alot coz the place is huge with different buildings, however our Sharjah University is more huge lol, by the way it’s an all girls University, many of them are wearing mini skirts & you know what? they aren’t as skinny as the actors in K-Drama, instead, some are curvy & have cellulite just like normal girls, so I guess only K-Drama actors are very fit, anyhow, as the tour continued I entered a grocery to search for Dettol wipes, guess what happened next. (Audio link below)
Last but not least, we transferred to GANGNAM street, I tagged along with 2 girls, it was freezing but amazingly the hot chocolate I got kept me warm for a while.
1 of the 2 girls is a lawyer, back in Jeju’s airport she happened to sit next to me, so I took the opportunity to ask, if it was possible for me & my fiance to get married in UAE without family’s permission, coz in my country the girl’s father permission is a must, she said (the same law applies, but I’ll check if there are other means), I thanked her & told her to text me for the answer. Once before, my fiance mentioned the idea of getting married in another country, coz waiting for family matters will only make delays, but he didn’t even go along with that.
In Gangnam street, we came across a men’s clothing store which had a cardboard statue of my favorite actor/singer Jung Yong Hwa <3 his photos wearing their brand were all over the store inside.
The other girl got something for her brother, I’ve bought my fiance a shirt & a summer jacket by Mind Bridge brand, the lawyer asked me at that time (who are you buying this for?), I said (the guy I want to commit the crime with) lol, I meant the guy I’m getting married to behind my parent’s back, which is my fiance, she laughed as she already knew from our conversation in Jeju. Unfortunately, he didn’t accept any of the stuff I bought for him, I kept them hoping he’d have a change of heart *Sighs*.
Another grocery, I keep buying different kinds of Korean snacks for home, such as potato chips, biscuits & chocolate, I always buy 2 of everything, 1 for my family & 1 for my fiance.
The girls got into subway, meanwhile I went to a cosmetic store called Nature Republic, personally I don’t care about this stuff nor do I use such products, however many girls from our group purchased some, since my mom likes these things I bought her a Ginseng cream. Cosmetic stores are very popular in Seoul, it’s like everytime I pass by 3 shops, the 4th one is mostly a cosmetic one (Nature Republic, The Face shop, It’s Skin) are everywhere.
As I was heading back, I’ve crossed a wide street, the green light for walking started blinking while I’ve reached HALF the street only lol, & I was walking fast! but I guess Koreans are VERY fast walkers.
In the end I got Mcdonald’s for dinner, conducting my fast food tests as usual resulted in = same taste as home, the only difference was the ordering process, you get to order using a machine, Korea is so advanced in tech.
After we returned to the hotel, an argument occurred, some girls are mad coz they’re not allowed to go to places other than the ones in the schedule, 1 girl said (we are graduates & not young to be controlled like that), Alumni back in UAE knew about this, as a conclusion, they allowed the girls to go wherever they want after noting their names, but the University will not be held responsible for misfortunes.
No texts from my fiance, he didn’t even ask if I’m alright or not after getting lost, so I sent him this before I slept (baby I’m Ok, I’m back in the hotel), I guess he wasn’t worried at all, this kind of treatment is what I’ve been enduring the whole trip, it started before I travel, & continued in the same manner until he finally broke my heart 2 months after Korea’s trip, it hurts even now.
