Hehe turns out, yesterday was pretty epic. I don't know if I can give it justice even in story format. I went to a morning English mass at the most famous cathedral in Seoul, Myeong-Dong, and spent the rest of the morning in the Myeong-Dong area shopping, kind of. The place is kind of the rich, designer shopping district featuring all the fancy American and European brands at reall high prices (a t-shirt was like 65,000원; jeans something like 130,000원; and sneakers in the 165,000원 range). Also, according to a girl at one of the shops there, "English is prettier than Korean, so nobody really sells clothes with Korean words on it". It's a kind of strange mentality, I think.
I went to lunch at a place called Lotte (something) where they had Korean/American fusion foods like 'Korean Barbecue Burger' and 'Green Tea Ice Cream Twist'. The food was pretty good, and pretty cheap too! but definitely not representative of Korean food as a whole. I stumbled upon a skate park sometime near lunch too, and met some American military guys who were skateboarding there. I rested and took a break from speaking only Korean for a while -I've actually been dreaming in Korean too for the past couple days- and tried to shoot some videos, but couldn't get anything good.

After that I went to Namdaemun-Shijang, another shopping district which is kind of in and around this old building thing, in hopes of finding some Korean clothing, but again failed. I did get a nice tie and a cool t-shirt for 5,000원 each though. I also realized that there is a thing called trespassing, and police don't like that. On the 3rd floor of this market (did I mention this was kind of in an old building?) there was nobody except for me, and all the shops were closed up except for one place, which had a lot of clothes just sitting there and really nobody around. After a brief internal struggle, I decided to just move on without taking anything, and promptly ran into 2 police men and a shopkeeper down a staircase on the second floor.
They addressed me very abrasively in Korean, and I replied that I just wanted to find the way out, so they pointed me away and kind of remarked about why I was even there. I started to respond 'I just-' but they cut me off 'Don't just do anything, get out of here!'. They had seemed kind of angry, and I walked on remarking to myself that it was fortunate I hadn't taken anything from the shop upstairs.

At the end of the day, I was riding the subway and saw a stop called "Olympic Park" and decided to go. I saw what appeared to be some sort of semi-pro tennis doubles match, with a guy taking video and everything. There were a lot of people watching, but nobody at the door so I just walked in and watched too. Then I walked down to this building which had a lot of cars parked in front of it, and it so happened that there was a Freestyle Soccer Competition going on. I found a seat, watched for a while, but they spent a lot of time with speakers and such that I was getting a bit bored. There was a famous comedian there, and some singers, who I manged to meet and get a signed CD from. The guy also asked if I had a cyworld (Korean Facebook thing) so that he could be my friend hehe. Also, some camera guy came and asked if he could interview me about freestyle soccer, so I did a brief interview in English and might be part of some advertisement in the future. I left early after my interview, and actually rode the subway with one of the guys who was in the competition. He did a little exhibition while we were waiting for the train, and we talked a little bit in Korean.
It was a fun day, but I crashed really hard, and had some pretty strange dreams in Korean.
