The sweet potato filled pizza.
After a long plane ride and series of transportation, I finally arrived in Incheon in my grandparents’ house (mothers side) where some of my relatives were there to greet me and offer me seafood pizza. Seafood pizza may sound good, but when the crust is made out of sweet potato, it becomes a different story. The once called seafood pizza is seafood no more. After a bite, I fell in a trance. I woke up in the next morning to find out that it was…

Hello Pilipnas.
I woke up and found out that I slept in my uncle’s house. Good thing it was a Sunday. No one had classes today. So I went out of the room searching for my cousins. But I could only find one. I was sure, as I am Korean that there should be two cousins in that same house. Thoughts were coming in to my mind that the boogie monster or something ate my other cousin. But later I found out that he had gone to the Army for mandatory service.
>> fast forward
I was outside and I thought I was in the Philippines. There was a rally going on. It was about impeaching the current president because he agreed to import meat from America. What’s wrong with meat you ask? –Mad cow.
Anyways, after taking a few snapshots of the rally, my cousin and I headed to the Namsan Tower using the cable car to look at the “Locks of Love”.

Ginseng here, Ginseng there, Ginseng Everywhere!
I’m back in my grandparent’s house.
And waking up to find out that everything is made out of Ginseng is traumatizing.
Ginseng toothpaste, ginseng shampoo, ginseng soap, ginseng candy, ginseng juice…
GINSENG!!!
It feels like I'm in Korean Ginseng Alcatraz. I mean if it were strawberries, it would be great but it had to be
I needed a day off to recover from the ginseng madness.

War Drill
I was in my uncle’s car going to a subway to go to my grandparent’s house (fathers side) but we had to stop right in front of the subway and not move. There were alarms going off and everyone was just frozen. When you look around, it looks like it’s a scene from some cartoon wherein this mad iceman like person makes everyone freeze. Or at a point, it looks like everyone is playing “ice, ice water” But guess what? No ones fooling around. Everything was serious. It was a war drill.
Remember the times when we used to do fire/earthquake drills in our schools? Yeah its somewhat same to it, except this “war drill” is done by the whole South Korean nation – civilians all frozen, all at the same time. (Take that improv everywhere people! Korea just beat your subway freeze skit.) Talk about discipline. Wow. Hands down to my own nation for this.
Today is the 28th and I still have 6 more days to go!~
Oh and I’d be secretly attending the M3 convention
