What a weekend!

Saturday:
A group of 8 of us left for Pusan. We met up with my Korean American adoptee friend Oh Mee and her native Korean friend Ah Young. We went to the hostel to check in and drop our things off. Then a quick lunch at a kimbap restaurant. That kind of restaurant is nice because it has such a variety of food options. After lunch, it was on to 찜질방 (Jjimjilbang) which is a Korean spa/sauna/bathhouse. The one we went to was called Spa Land and was located in Shinsegae Department Store (which is the world's largest department store). They 'bathing' rooms are separated by gender; the girl's side was the best because we had an outdoor pool! After the pools, we went into all of the different saunas; the rooms were SO hot! They were around 50-60+ degrees...CELSIUS! When we were all done with jjimjilbang, we took some time to look around the department store. We had dak galbi for dinner (spicy chicken and vegetables) and then went to a bar/restaurant. After that, we went to Club Foxy. At the end of the night, Emily and I went back to the hostel. We ended up in a double room and Oh Mee and Ah Young had their own double.

Just arrived to Shinsegae Department Store! L to R: Maren, Emily, me, Ben, Joakim, Magnus, Tim, Oh Mee, and Ah Young Standing: Ki

Sunday: 
Emily and I went to church in Pusan. It was a church she had heard of from some friends. After church, we met up with Oh Mee and Ah Young for a quick bite to eat and then said our goodbyes. When we returned to campus, I just relaxed. I'll be doing a little bit of studying with my friends and calling it an early night tonight!

Saying goodbye at the subway!
