Magical May

Another week has just flown by! My remaining time in Korea is seriously flying and I'm starting to panic!! SO.MUCH.LEFT.TO.DO!!

This weekend was another stunner all round! Thursday we went out for some cup cakes to celebrate Marie's birthday. We discovered the cutest little cup cake shop just around the corner. All About Cupcake. The cakes were delicious! Take a look at the pictures and judge for yourself.







Friday after school, Salome and I went for a manicure and once again I got caught up with Asia and got some nail art done. So nice to relax on a Friday after school...

Friday night we had a girls dinner - Marie, Salome and Moi at Thursday Party and then we headed off to Club Womb. I know dodgy name, but as it turns out - the place is amazing! It was the club's reopening in Gwangali and they had great drink specials. Unfortunately we were a little eager and arrived to early, but atleast we got to see what the place looked like and what to expect. The club even had lockers were you can lock up your personals while busting it out on the dance floor. Brilliant idea, don't you think?





Saturday morning I had to get up early to meet with the Kim family. I met with Jason (Mr. Kim's son) at ten at Starbucks. So early for a Saturday morning... It was great fun though. The meeting went well and we spent most of the morning chatting and then we went to the CGV building for a sticker photo shoot. Welcome to Korea. :) In the CGV you can go into photo booths were you can dress up and take crazy photo's. At the end they print them out for you after you've edited and decorated it. It was soooo funny!





At twelve mister Kim picked us up just out side Pukyeong University and we were chauffeured (in the grand merc) to one of the Lotte Hotels, were we had an amazing lunch with the rest of the family. It was great seeing all of them again. After lunch we went to Shinsegae for some Smoothy King goodness!

At 5 I ran home to pour some Amarula in my Starbucks flask and met up with Frankie and Dave at an Organic/peace market slash mini festival. It was great, cause we got to sit outside in the afternoon sun on the GRASS (yes my first experience with grass in this country). We spent the afternoon enjoying Amarula and listening to some really cool bands. After the 'festival' we went to Pasta Factory for dinner to end of the wonderful day.



Sunday morning was an early start as well. (pff I need another weekend) We had to get up really early to catch the subway to Centum City to meet up with Charles. Charles is an awesome, sweet Korean guy who always organises trips for foreigners. Waygooks. On May 2, the Gwangan Bridge was closed for traffic and opened for walking. Approximately 12 000 people gathered and got ready for the 10 km walk over the bridge. It was really cool! The weather was amazing and the atmosphere was great. As you got to the middle of the bridge there was an orchestra playing and some Korean folks singing opera. The view from the Diamond Bridge was magnificent! After the great walk everyone gathered at Pukyeong university for the lucky draw. Each participant got a number for the walk and you could win some really cool prizes if you stuck around afterwards. Some of the prizes includes: 5 flight tickets, a vacuum cleaner, tea, etc. Unfortunately luck wasn't on our side. To celebrate us walking over the bridge we went to Thursday Party for some yummy burgers and something cold to drink.







The rest of the beautiful day I spent at home, writing this and just chilling. Nap time after all the excitement and food!
