So this required its own blog post because it was so amazing.
Aaron suggested going to a hot pot place he hasn’t been to but has heard a lot about it. The restaurant name is Hai Di Lao (海底捞) and up to this point I thought the restaurant service at Fogo De chao was the best I’ve ever had…I was SO wrong.

Last night we got into seoul. It kind of annoys me that for a 6pm flight you must be there early therefore we left at 3pm and the entire traveling portion eats up the rest of your day.
So after much planning and anticipation the day finally came. It was the day we would go to the GOMTV station to watch people play Starcraft competitively at the GOM TV station.

I haven’t really kept up my daily activity posts only because we haven’t really done anything to write home about besides eating Korean bbq, Starcraft, and walking around the shopping districts in meyongdong and dongdemun.

So this is pretty much the message I got from being here for the past 4 days. I’m probably wrong in thinking that but with SO many places to buy clothes, get face creams and makeup, and advertisements for plastic surgery, I really can’t help but feel like the culture puts a lot of pressure on its youth to look good.
