The weekend

So I had a really busy weekend, but I had a lot of fun!!! I took tons of pictures, some of which I will put in here. If you want to see the pictures more clearly or bigger, you can click on them to open up a new window that will show you them much bigger.

I went up to the roof of my building on Friday and took some nice pictures. It was slightly terrifying.

Here in Korea, space is limited. This lady is utilising her roof to dry her clothes! I just happened to glance down and see her working away...

Next, we went to Karaoke. This was a little different than back in Canada. In Korea, or at least at this Noraebong (Karaoke), you pay a fee, and you get a private room with really loud music and tamborines and other really fun things! Here are some pictures.

The hallways were glass with a bunch of things about a foot underneath the surface. You took off your shoes at the front reception area and go barefoot throughout the building

That was just Friday!!

On Saturday, we went to Itaewon. Itaewon is a very multi-cultural (for Korea) city that is sort of part of Seoul. It was really fun. Here are some pics.

Hard Rock Cafe, Seoul!

Street vendors on the left, busy little shops on the right

This is their currency (Won). I mentioned that one might call them "Won"derwear.

Taking advantage of the bustling market, this man drives a cart of fruit through the crowds of people, who can barter down to much lower prices than are on the signs.

Saturday night we went to a foreigner bar called Rhythm and Booze. It's American owned, and it has a "North America-esque" feeling to it.

Then came Sunday which I will have to put in a different post, because my computer is starting to get overloaded! One moment please...
