S. Korea p.6 Shinnae/Taedong River and Hongdae

No Internet for me in Seoul. I'm writing this after going through a whole lot of shit, but I'll try my best to remember.

Justin and I meet Nancy for lunch in Shinnae. We go to an Indian restaurant in the alley of an alley. It's very good. Nancy gets me a soda. She is nice.

They share a cab because they have to go back to work. It's sort of like a shopping mall and people watching experience so I decide to stick around. Right when we part ways I notice a "Cat Cafe." I did Nekobokuro in Tokyo, so this was a must try.

Viable business model in the U.S.?

This was better. For about $7 I get my coffee, a pancake with chocolate sauce and whip cream, and the company of cats. Pretty sure this is a girly thing to do here but fuck it.

All of the cats were friendly. These two liked me the most.

After I've had my cat fix, I keep walking around. See some interesting stores and buy some bootleg Supreme clothing.

When I'm done with this I cross the Taedong river and walk up and down this path. A bunch of kids are playing some game with a soccer ball and said what up to me.

2 many big buildings.

Homies.

Eventually my knee hurts and its cold. Can't find the bus I want and end up taking a cab.

Dgaf about the bus, I wonder if they found this fool.

Tell the cab to let me out at a pizza place between Ilsan and Justin's neighborhood. Get two pizzas to eat on the fly before the train to Seoul.

I guess they do this at all the pizza places but for a second I thought they thought I was dating Justin.

Justin and I barely make the train but at least we don't have to wait an hour. We watch Ip Man. Beast movie.

 There is a miniature plunger holding up the phone that Justin won from a 100% win guarantee crane game type machine (It's not 100%).

Justin's friend Austin meets us at the station. His girlfriend owns a bunch of bars so we head to Hongdae.

We find a cheap motel thing (called Hotel Plus+ or Full house depending on where you entered) and leave our bags.

First sign of true luxury.

Go to a bar called Blue Monkey and get some VIP treatment. Here you can straight up order a bottle of Jack. It's awesome. We split one between the three of us and play some pool.

 Had the flaming Blue Monkey shot with four types of alcohol. Not bad. Not good either.

One bottle of Jack, plz.

Austin said he went out the night before and decides to dip. It's like 3AM so we say bye and hit a Korean BBQ.

Here it gets really exciting. Cold as shit and we can't find our motel. Wander for an hour. Sun starting to come up. I see a refrigerator I noticed earlier that night and we find our way back. Relief.
