I fell in love with a Korean mannequin yesterday...

gIt was a long day, or rather a long night as I didn't get up until sometime after noon. After a few hours shopping in Namdaemun malls we went to 'have our minds blown' in the daunting Namdaemun market. It was a wet day and by the time we got over there and out of the shopping malls the outdoor market was mostly closed, initially we were confused because it was so small and it was supposed to be this huge day and night market, but we figured the off and on raining closed the businesses down. We strolled for a bit, looking at whatever was open, and it looked like it could be crazy if it were open. Around eight we decided we should start heading back, to eat dinner, and get ready to go out. We went to a bar called scrooges just down the hill, as is looked busy and sounded rowdy. We got in to find that the bar was packed for a rugby game between New zealand and south africa, and there were people from both of those countries cheering heartily throughout the match. Catriona and I met a very nice group of people from Suwon, a smaller town south of Seoul but on the city subway line. There was an Australian, a Scot, a couple of South Africans, an American, and a couple of Canadians, one of whom(named Tess), has family in the county near picton. It was a long night. I was asleep by 4.30 and home by 6.30. Needless to say I haven't quite got the stamina for staying out all night, yet. It was a great night and I will be back in Busan in a day or so, I may have a job.
