Preparing for takeoff

Accommodation is all booked and waiting for us in Daejeon and Busan. 3 nights Daejeon, and 4 in Busan. Saturday and Sunday we have planned to meet friends at our favourite haunts. I'm just happy we didn't have to stay at a jimjilbang (open spa/sauna) for the duration. Would have been 5x cheaper, and 100x times more restless though. 

John and I were watching our first and favourite k-drama series until 8am, as usual. We found out that the actual movie sets for it have gone display in Dongdaemun, a half dozen subway stops down the line. When we get back to Seoul in a week, we plan on checking them out, to further cement our Korean assimilation. 

At 11 am, I decided it was too hot to sleep and went to check out the shops, planning future purchases for when we return (and for when my pay comes through, running on fumes here!). I'm heavily in overdraft to the Sleep Bank, and that bank always collects in the end. I image I'll coma out for 16hrs one of these days. 

One thing I did buy though, is a couple volumes of a Korean comic/manga/man what that I've only read through in English. I will surely be the envy of my nerd friends. 

Being our last night in Seoul, we having a couple drinkies to get us in the mood for whatever plan gestates. Sickness be damned. Surely the purifying qualities of Soju can act as medicine!
