12-12-12! Wednesday

Today was 12-12-12!!

I did not do very well on my finals, but I'm going to keep working on my Korean...

I walked to Sinseol-dong Market (a flea market) but I accidentally forgot my memory card for my camera at home. I was so upset! However, after walking around the market a bit, I found a camera stall and asked how much the card was. It was a bit pricy, so I thought I would look for another stall. I was about to give up because I couldn't find any others but then spotted one and paid more than I would have in the US or maybe from any other camera store, but I needed one. After the flea market I walked along Cheonggyecheon and went to the Cheonggyecheon Museum again. After the museum, I walked to a big subway station area. I saw a shopping area and had some time to kill so wandered around. I found a jacket and really liked it, but resisted and did not buy it. (yet...)

I took the subway to meet CJ. Last night I did not sleep well and I kept falling asleep on the subway. I was concerned I had missed my stop! I didn't so I walked around Gangnam waiting for CJ. She ended up pushing back our meeting time again so I had lots of time to sit and think. We finally met and went to a BBQ place. We ordered a platter that had duck, ribs and samgypsal. After dinner we went to Baskin Robins for ice cream. I am glad I had the chance to meet CJ-what a cool person. 

Finally made it to the Flea Market--and I have a working camera!

Love this place...

Ice and snow on Cheonggyecheon

Some of the old support beams that held the highway that covered Cheonggyecheon

Inside the shanty buliding; there was some filming going on inside...??

Coke wishes you a Merry Christmas!
