Sasang & Seomyeon

On Saturday I went to Sasang neighbourhood where there is an Asian Market. It’s kind of ironic considering I am already in Asia and that I went to an Asian Market. However, this market is technically for Southeast Asians where Indian, Sri Lankan, Pakistani and Bengali spices, curry powders and other important ingredients are found for flavourful and delicious dishes. I was able to get some important ingredients for myself such as coconut powder, dried curry leaves, Sri Lankan curry powder, and fennel seeds. I also ate a wonderful Indian lunch buffet for 18,000 won (naans included in the buffet menu). John, Ann and I overstuffed ourselves because it was that delicious. I also took a random picture with one of those Indian crown hats. I don’t know the name of it, sorry.
I was also able to take the light rail for the first time from Sasang to the town of Gimhae! That’s where the international airport is located at. The new light rail opened just a week ago so it was quite an experience. Light rail in my opinion is better than a subway. It’s above ground and I can look at sceneries instead of staring at ads. I took some pictures of the view I had. Enjoy!

After exploring Sasang we headed to Seomyeon. That’s where we met Victoria. We walked around and shopped at Alpha store for stickers. John and Ann left around 7:30pm because they were tired (and I don’t blame them because we walked and ate a lot since that afternoon). Victoria and I walked some more around, played basketball, shooting games, air hockey, and other random games. We also went to the photo booth to have some Korean style photos made into stickers. The picture is blurry but the photos of us were hilarious and we were goofing off a lot. We also went to a music store and talked about K-Pop for an hour. We were like kids in a candy store. The staff probably thought we were a bunch of crazy foreigners. Victoria and I saw New York Fries and decided to eat there as well. We also discovered bubble tea at Dunkin Donuts but sadly no fruit flavours! No Mango Bubble Tea! Pathetic. Oh well, Saturday was a great day at Sasang and Seomyeon regardless. I am happy that these two locations are so closer to me than Jangsan or Haeundae!
Sunday, I just stayed at home and watched movies, cleaned up my room and organized for my trip to Seoul. The trip will be from Wednesday, September 21st to Monday, September 26th! I am finally going to attend my EPIK orientation! Two and half months later but better late than never because I am looking forward to going back to Seoul to do the things I didn’t get a chance to do last time.
