halloween in seoul

this weekend was halloween. and a few friends and i went to hongdae in seoul to dress up and dance. 

i wore my ears and yellow at school to resemble a giraffe. we played halloween games and i passed out sour warheads. after school, i caught a local bus and raced to ssangyong where jod was dressed like a witch and carefully applied brilliant face paint to transform me into a giraffe princess. i wore a giraffe scarf and tribal-looking jewelry on the ktx and got my fair share of stares. 

we finished getting ready at our hostel. i put my ears on and i was ready to go. we met our friends at the beastro and dined on hanger steak and buffalo mac and cheese and fried brie. we pressed on to the park. we made it to magpie for some porter. we listened to a little live jazz. we went clubbing at gogo's 2 and we ended the night (morning) at 4am eating chicken on the side of the road as the city began slowly waking up again. we rolled out of bed, had an american breakfast, and caught an early ktx. i was back in cheonan by 12. and i spent the afternoon in a theater, on a solo date, watching gone girl. relaxing, resting. and today, i woke and skyped the parents. and later, i'm going to costco to pick up 25lbs of cat food and some litter. and i'll study too. 

weekends.
