Monday, June 22
Monday was an interesting last day. I wish Chris and Laura could have taken the day off from work, but such is life. It was still a good day. After many Korean feasts over the week, we decided to just have cheap pizza for lunch. Afterwards, we got some coffee and lamented over C&L having to go to work.
I spent the afternoon in Coex Mall. Apparently it is the world's largest underground mall. Fascinating, I know. I didn't care to shop, especially since I was running short on cash at that point. I had come to visit the aquarium and kimchi museum. The aquarium is the home of a famous two-headed turtle. Laura reminded me several times to take note of it.
I was wary of an aquarium in a mall, but it turned out to be pretty good. I like watching turtles and manta rays, and they had those, so check mark added. I do not like seeing live tarantulas at the entrance to the Amazonian exhibit, x mark for giving me the heebie-jeebies. Aquatic life only, please!
Unfortunately, the kimchi museum was closed on Mondays. This was the only kink in the otherwise flawless itinerary put together by Laura and Chris.
Outside the mall was a Buddhist temple. There were a lot of people praying, so I used my camera very little and unobtrusively. Since I had a lot of time left, I took the opportunity to relax and peacefully write some journal entries while there.
After that I rode the packed subway back for the last time. It was sad. Before meeting C&L, I stopped at a park to do some reading. There were some public outdoor exercise machines, and people seemed to actually use them regularly.
After they got off of work, Chris and Laura took me out for more barbeque. It was a place right next to their apartment that they hadn't tried before. It was decided that we would have a low-key evening, so we went back to the apartment and just chatted and played Wii games. Then Chris and I stayed up late laughing at action movie clips on youtube.
