Summer 2011 in Korea

The best thing which happened…was .. that I got a new apartment !!!! Well I shared it with my cousin, but however I was so happy :)

One of the best views to the Han River~~ *.*

This is how the view of the Han River in Seoul looks like without all the moody clouds !~

Fangirling stuff

Let’s stalk some Korean idols….

I know I’m too old for this kind of stuff hahha, but it was actually fun lol

Mission 1: JYP Entertainment located in Abgujeong, Kangnam –> Mission failed. We couldn’t observe any eye candy, only trainees :(  No, 2pm ㅜㅜ

Though we saw some idol kids getting out of a van while walking near Rodeo. About 5 young, tall, skinny, good-looking boys. hahahha, but we didn’t knew them  :D

Mission 2: YG Entertainment located in Hapjeong –> Mission partly accomplished haha.

We saw Psy and some other singers of YG. But no Big Bang or 2ne1 (they were in Japan) ㅜㅜ xD

Me at an Art Museum in Kangnam. I’m standing in front of the work of artist Mari Kim. She also designed 2NE1’s “Hate You” ;)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Su Noraebang located in Hongdae. One of the best :)

I think an hour costs about 10.000-20.000Won depending on daytime/night. Especially during daytime you get a lot of bonus ;)

Popcorn and Ice Cream is for free like in mostly all Noraebang’s ^_^

I went a whole month to the Hacker’s Academy to get me prepared for the TOEFL test. Well, it wasn’t a delight due to insomnia.

Every day I had a lot of things to do, meet family, meet friends, go shopping, go singing. Just like holidays have to be ! But because I’m an elite student (pohahaha joking) I cannot adversely affect my education. My Hacker’s schedule was really tight 6am to 10am. After I gone to bed mostly at 1am to 2am I had to wake up everyday at 5am !. because the academy wasn’t in my area it took some time to get there. Just 4hours of sleep. It was torturing! hahaha

You wanna know what my Toefl result is? Well, I didn’t take the test yet. Being a high school senior keeps me busy. (Abitur und sou.)

Due to the heavy rain in Korea the office quarter of Kangnam was drowning for 2-3hours. It was pretty epic and shocking at the same time. :S I couldn’t believe my eyes and felt like I was in a catastrophic movie. ok, lets not exaggerate xD

All in all summer in Korea ended dramatically sad.

In the last night of my stay in Seoul, I met a person at Hongdae, I would refer to the term “soul mate”. I never felt so desperately in love with a stranger before. It was the first time in years my heart was filled with so much happiness…again.

While walking to the underground station he asked me out for dinner. “Let’s have a nice dinner next week. Do you like Italian Cuisine?” My response was a forced smile and a slight nod. I couldn’t persuade myself to tell him that I was leaving the very next day.

After driving the subway which parted us rapidly in separate ways I cried like a fool.

I cried for a stranger.

I cried for a man I knew for 8hours.

As I arrived to my home he texted: “We should’ve eaten something together before we went home. I’m starving.”

...

I went straight to bed. Being all dazzled and confused of my absurd feelings I hadn’t an easy sleep.

I texted him the fact that I was leaving the country.

“When do you come back?”

“Next year”

“...Please don’t go..”

“...”

Well, maybe I will see him next year or maybe not.

Seoul you are filled with happy and sad memories.

So, girls ! Soulmates are REAL :)
