First of all. Tomorrow we are all heading to Tokyo, Japan. Definitely very exciting but still I feel a bit sad to leave Seoul. I love it here! But I am happy that we will return here later this month.
Anyway. Yesterday I got a haircut at the Mod's Hair Paris hairdresser here in Hongdae. Or actually Jonas, Adam and me went to get a haircut at the same time! I am very pleased, and the hairdressers were all very professional. Very different from Sweden, and incredibly cheap. A haircut for men cost approximately 13,000 won! Haircut for women cost about 15,000.
Oh well, later that day Yannick, Natto & me went to eat at a Korean BBQ place while the others went to a cat cafe. I think it was similar to samgyeopsal, kinda like bulgogi or galbi - but with pork. Very inexpensive and very tasty.
It's quite difficult to fry the meat while trying to eat at the same time, and you could get help at the restaurants with adjusting the temperature of the table grill. One popular way of eating is to wrap the meat into lettuce leaves together with accompaniements such as kimchi, garlic or Korean chili and/or soybean pastes. Very tasty!
At 8 in the evening we met up with Cecilia and Ringo! Very fun! I havent met Ringo since last year. We went to the Ti-Amo cafe close to our guesthouse, to eat some delicious Bingsu.
Rebecca and I shared this blueberry bingsu. Yummy.
Everyone at the noraebang (Korean for Karaoke)! Impressive room with cool spotlights, and even a keyboard =P.

Cecilia & Ringo then guided us to an izakaya style bar. We ordered heaps of beer, soju and food and we had such a nice time there! The food was very good and spicy.
When Cecilia & Ringo left to hurry to the last subway of the day, the rest of us went to Family Mart and enjoyed some time outside there (yeah, there are chairs and tables there for people to sit at). I drank this Korean raspberry wine, Bokbunjajoo. Mmmh.

The next day, after Rebecca went to get a haircut, we went to the guesthouse where Jonas & Agnes are staying. We ate breakfast together, and chilled sometime before leaving for Myeongdong once again.

Later on we noticed these girls walking around. Rebecca took this photo for me. Adorable.
