My 1st RAINY day :]

So......I went out on Friday July 16th and it was my first rainy day here in Korea. It's rained here before but the periods of rain were pretty short and not hard. THIS was real raining...like raining nonstop...like RAINING RAINING...really cool... (I love the rain!)

Anyway, so my friend Minnie and I decided to go out today even though it rained because midterms were (kinda) over and it was time to do something and the weather wouldn't be able to stop us. So we went to Myeondong to check out the underground shopping market and stores around the area.






...streets with rain and people are still out and about...


















































...at the Forever 21 in Myeondong...














....the register at the store... there were also H&M and Ralph Lauren, etc. here...











PURSES...........! ALL/MOST were only 10,000 won (~8 US dollars)...the ahjumma helping me was supppper nice and was wondering where I was from. This place is a to-go-store-before-I-leave store...









....a map of some underground markets...this on is the huihyeon underground shopping center...















...an area of the underground market...













After going to Myeondong and seeing the underground shopping centers, etc...we also had in mind to go to Dongdaemun to go look around, eat, and shop...it was about 5ish pm when were at Forever 21...and it was about 8ish when we were still at Myeondong... We ate at Dongdaemun...had some Korean BBQ (delicious but a bit pricey for the both of us... 10,000 won each). Then we went looking around at Dongdaemun (maybe around 9ish pm?)






This was a shopping center called Doota...



















...this was a resting area/coffee center/snacks on the fifth floor.













...the bathroom on the fifth floor of Doota...so high-class/high tech/ "in"










...MIRRORS....everywhere...and sofa...








...I believe this was also in Doota...we were on the beauty/accessories level (5th floor of Doota).






































...this was in Migliore shopping building...it closes at 4:30 am... haha














...a store that sold a bunch of Mickey purses...












...pretty hanboks on the 4th floor (?) of Migliore shopping center...



















...I liked this one more than the one above...really pretty~



















...CLOTHES........none that I would wear...but still...



















still in Migliore shopping building at around 11ish pm...













At about 20 before 12, we left Migliore so that we would be able to catch the last subway ride back to Yonsei... But before we left, we checked out the first level of Hello apM (just kinda went in and out though...need to go back...gahhhhhh)

Anyway...here are the business hours!












...while leaving to go to the subway station...I RAN INTO THIS!... I can't find what the name of this place is right now...but it's a water system that runs through Seoul (I believe...and eventually to the Han River).












...coming again to see it in the daytime...
















...heels I got in Myeondong...
Cost: 20,000 won (~18 US dollars)




























...rain boots I got in Dongdaemun: Migliore Shopping building.

Cost: 20,000 won (~18 US dollars)











We didn't end up coming back until 1:30-ish am. It was quite a day...I still wanted to go shopping but my feet were tired. Today I'm stuck in for a little because I needed to do some stuff for school and then I'll be out again :] WILL UPDATE AGAIN SOON :]

YAY~ I'm all caught up now :]
