Too many pictures to post up... You know that there are more on Facebook... right?

This post will be dedicated to Preston's visit!!! :)


November 21, 2008- Preston's 1st full day~
For lunch, we had Korean Chinese food: Jajangmyun and tangsuyuk (Black bean noodles and -basically- sweet and sour pork. ) I had my jajangbap. (same black bean sauce, but with fried rice instead.)
Next, we took a subway to the Korea National Museum. Yep, as Preston noticed, the subway system is quite large... and seemingly complex...
At the museum~ Pretty waters...
I am getting better at posing...
Preston and Nathan in front of some gigantic thingy...
Torturing weapons!!!
At the Cheonggecheon river place...
At some bar with Nathan's classmates... The coasters were lit up with different colors...
Later that night, Debbie's cousin took us to some nice trance club... It was 30,000 won for cover... but he took care of it... (thank goodness). They almost didn't let me in because I was wearing sneakers... I hadn't bought any nice shoes yet... :(


November 22, Preston's 2nd day!For lunch, we took him to eat jjim-dak! And afterwards... LOTTE WORLD!! YAY~~
Preston and Nathan on the bridge walking to the outside of the Lotte World Adventure Theme park (yes, there is an outside part AND inside part~) And since it's Christmas time... there were Christmas decorations everywhere~~~
Our first ride... It just moved like a swing... nauseously back and forth and somewhat side to side.
Pretty!
Pretty tree!
Can you spot Preston and me???
For dinner, we took him to eat another round of Korean BBQ. I treated him to Korean BBQ the first night he came... right after he got off the bus from the airport. This is one of my top dishes... ever.
Afterwards, Noraebang time! You can tell from their faces that they were pretty into it.
Funny dock boys. After a long day of work, you finally get your banana and smoothie... It was really nice just going to a cafe at night to just chill and talk.



November 23, Preston's 3rd and final day in Seoul.
We mostly chilled for the first half of the day. We had the spicy chicken dish for lunch (that Nathan, Lance, and I had the first day we were in Seoul), which made Preston go "Gyro Dropping" many times during the day (haha). Then, we went to Coffeebean for Preston to get his coffee fix for the day...At 6pm, we went to the JUMP Comical Martial Arts Performance... It was highly enjoyable and worth all 40,000 won (approx. $37US) per ticket. It was so nice to just go see a kick back, humorous show.
After the show, I bought this huge program book (7,000 won ~ $6.50US) and had all the actors sign it while I also took pictures with some of them... Like the funny "old" guy. Their martial arts abilities were spetacular.
This guy was pretty good at his "druken martial arts." So awesome to see~
After the show, we walked over to Insa-dong, which is like this cultural arts center for tourist... So Preston could find a good amount of souveniers. Here, we are eating poop shaped thingies with red-bean inside...
Around Insa-dong, we found a somewhat expensive Korean restaurant that was known for their bibimbap.
(Left) Hot stone bibimbap and (right) a traditional bibimbap
Seafood and onion pancake... also one of my favorite Korean dishes.
After dinner, the three of us went to another cafe where Preston got another banana... and we all shared a tiramisu. After the cafe, we all went back to the dorm... where Preston got to sleep for 4 hours before I woke him up to catch the bus for the airport... And that marks the end of the Korea Adventures with Preston...
