Christmas in Seoul...Kind of

Like the title says I went to Seoul during Christmas weekend. A friend of mine flew in...country and we hung out for a week! Well actually It was like this.

We spent the first night in a Jimjilbang because she came in on a late flight. It was funny because everyone was sleeping except for 3girlies that came in right behind us. It was small and I was wondering what the price was to sleep there. Curious? 8,000!!! Won :)  happinessss~~~! I love the comfort of a Korean sauna.

the next day we dropped our stuff off at a hostel and headed out to see the sights. It was freezing cold the whole time almost! Snow had fallen hard the night before and the air just stayed cold. That didn't stop us though. We went all around Myeongdong and into Namdaemun. We went back to the hostel to warm up! The Myeongdong Hostel uses the ondol system so it was very nice inside.

Later we went back out into Myeongdong for (dun dun dun dun!) Krispy Kreme!! and more lol  We saw a huge crowd of young people and I though maybe a celebrity was there. Nope. Just a bunch of people giving FREE HUGS!!!  Honestly i though it was so cute. I'm pretty sure they are mostly students and we obliged and hugged a whole lot of them!

There was some kind of mini concert of carols but we were too cold to stay. We heard it in our hostel though! It didn't last all night so we were able to sleep peacefully.

We checked out and headed to my city by train. 4hrs...not bad though. I went to sleep after losing my game lol

It was Christmas day so we wanted to eat out. We went to one of my shopping areas and a girl ran from way back to us and gave us a tight FREE HUG! lol Then some other friends? of hers also wanted hugs. They didn't run to us though. We ended up not finding an open restaurant. We got a lot of hugs and went to *sigh* McDonalds. But all in all it was a great weekend :)
