Clubing- then hiking the next morning
So after a long day- I mean VERY long day at Caribbean Bay I get home eat dinner and right as I get out of the shower Sky calls me and says we are going out! Well I had already told Judit that I was extremely tired from today and that I was just going to call it a night. Somehow I ended up going! :) I convinced my parents to let me stay out till 3am. Which is funny because I feel like a child again here- haha!
When I walked out and asked my dad about staying out at Hongik Univ. (Line 2 ...aka, the party line) He was like tonight!? My host mom was sleeping on the couch and wakes up from a dead sleep and goes- "THATS A GREAT IDEA!" InJae and Uppa were very concerned with me going out but the mother was like haha go, have fun!
Apparently Line 2 is the party line, and Hongik Univ. stop on the subway is where all the college students party it up till the first train starts at 4:30am. Well Judits, Sky, and my family all said we could be home around 3am. Judits mom gave her 50,000 won and my dad gave me 20,000 so we could get home by taxi cause the subway/bus would be shut down. When we got to Hongik we went back to the Ho Bar- we went a few weeks ago just for a drink. Once everyone met up with us we ended up going to this night club called Noise Basement One. It was 15,000 won to get in and that got you into Noise Basement 1 & 2. Let’s just say this place was SO PACKED you had to dance! =] I had SO much fun!
Judit and I got a bottle of Soju and Cherryade - OH and some mentos on our walk to the club. We had such a great time!
Why is there a tiger bunny on this wall? HAHAHA! That was my question all night!
Sunday morning I woke up around 10am. It was my Umma's brother’s birthday so we went out to celebrate. It was cool, they sung happy birthday in English :)
After the birthday celebration my father wanted to take me hiking up the Dobong Mt. It was definitely the hike of my life! But SO worth it! My mom sprayed me with some lemon juice before we went so that the mosquitoes wouldn't bite me! IT WORKED TOO! Then for dinner my father bought me some more soju! :) What a great weekend!

Right before we took this photo, Uppa goes Stacy: My only daughter =] AWWW!

Caribbean Bay
We left the house at 6am to head to this amazing Water Park! Imagine Wet n Wild and then times that by 3! That is how big this place is! The park was about 2 hours away from there house so we left early to get there when the park opened. Funny, here in Korea even though there is thunder/lighting/rain...they don't shut the park down! SERIOUSLY! All day it was overcast and rainy! But it made it a million times better!
On our way there my family stopped to get breakfast. Normally its like breakfast burritos from Del Taco or Fausto's right...? Well here they have Kimbop! haha so funny! The wave pool here is SO much fun! I am positive that the park was at full capacity too! There were so many people in that wave pool that everywhere I turned there was someone in my personal bubble. Anyways here are some photos of my great time! Oh and I was able to take these photos because my Uppa got me this pouch that is water proof so I put my camera in it! AMAZING!
