Day 2

Hello everyone!!

It's Cotton :)

It was pretty cold today, so cold that Angela had to wear a cardigan when she went out. Does that mean it's finally fall? I guess Angela needs to pull out her long sleeves~ 

Anywaysss

Today I will talk about Min and Angela's second day in Korea!

mmmm so their second day, theyyyy.....I forgot when they woke up. I don't think it was too early though? I think they left the guesthouse at around maybe 11am. To go to Gyeongbokgung. They took the train there! Angie completely followed Min so she has no idea what was going on while she was there. But thats okay, right?

They got there and bought the ticket and went inside the palace walls. They got to see the guards change right after they went in. They played traditional instruments and they wore traditional garments and it was pretty interesting to watch. Then they went inside and walked around the palace. It was a lot bigger than Angela expected! And she thought it was super duper colorful, unlike the palaces and temples in Japan. And so many animal statues and parts! They had animals at the bottom of stairs and on top of the roofs and such. Angela enjoyed it very much. :)


Then they went to the museum for the palace. It had three floors and they had a lot of stuff, it was pretty interesting for Angela. She thinks Min got bored and too hungry in the middle though :P Silly guy. They did go through all of it though. Angela's favorite part is probably the instruments. Very big, colorful, and had animal motifs on them! Silly Angela. 


Then they took the subway to a big mall, Coex. They didn't buy anything there but they ate lunch (kimchi fried rice with cheese mmmm...) and frozen yogurt/shaved ice (there was a SUPER lovey dovey couple next to them. It was funny) and walked around. They would've gone to the aquarium but Angela started feeling dizzy so they decided not to. Maybe she was too tired? 


After the mall, they went to Seoul tower. They took the subway then the bus up the mountain. The bus ride was.....すごかったんだって. The driver was going pretty fast on the windy narrow mountain road, and both Min and Angie were standing but it was preeeeetty rocky. Angie could feel herself jumping up and down from the bumpy-ness! She said it was slightly scary, but mostly fun. :)


When they got to the tower, they went to the outside part, where the fences are filled with padlocks. Apparently, couples go there and their relationships are supposed to go well? Something like that? Locks? 


Well, there were a lot of locks on that fence. A lot. 


Then they went to the Teddy Bear Museum! It's this place where they show Korea's history with teddy bears. As in, it's full of my friends! :D They actually found a mini-me in all of the exhibits. I was being silly hehehehe :P 


After the museums (there were two of them) they climbed the Seoul tower. Angela said the elevator was really fast and she didn't feel like it was moving at all! すごいねー So it didn't bother Min either, who doesn't really like elevators much cuz they feel funny. and the view was so prettyyyy~ They got to see the night view, with the city lights and everything. Pretttyyyyyyy and romantic too? heart heart? :P


After the tower, they went back to guesthouse and went to sleep. 


It was a looooong day for them :)


Oh look I found a picture of them at the Gyeongbokgung gates!






cute :)
