Got a lot of things done today!

First thing done today was sorting out my phone plan.. and now I have a new number and a less stressful credit plan =P. I had to go to Gwanghwamun's global Olleh store in order to speak with an English service rep... it was a 1 hour wait because they were quite busy...

Before, it was a prepaid account where I'd spend usually 10000 won per 10 or so days... but now I am paying 21000 won per month for 11000 calling credit BUT 500MB data with access to Wi-Fi throughout Seoul =]. Lovelyyyyy~

After that, it was lunch time!
We went to a restaurant called Option. They had very nice rice dishes (fried rice, doria, etc..).. $6 per dish with a free drink/ice cream.



My Bacon + Seafood fried rice.

Pretty place.

After that, it was study time at the river...

A path on the side of the boys dorm (left) and the girls dorm (end and right).




After that... was probably the most exciting part of the day... my haircut LOL.
It was my first time at a professional hairdresser for the purpose of a haircut.. My mother has always been the one to cut my hair (but in the younger years.. I used to go to unprofessional barbers).

Anyway, it was quite hard finding a salon who would cut my hair because I could not speak Korean well... I think the language barrier and the fact that I couldn't tell them how I wanted my hair cut posed a security problem, so I had to find a salon who could speak in English... Off I went to Juno hair.. A bigger and seemingly more popular salon among foreigners.

During the wash.. VIP seats to a mini concert haha!  It was a singer that I haven't heard of.. But there were a lot of people!

Bus home.

A shorter/smarter look.. haha!

And to finish the night... my dinner.

Oh yeah..

Tomorrow is my mentor group meeting and we are heading to a village... This'll be fun!

In the meantime.. I shall stop looking at cars and shark documentaries and maybe head to bed.. its 4am.

Thankful: Lots of adventures today... Phone credit, haircut, new side of the river. Fun times ahead!

Prayerful: Direction. My days have been rather empty these days...

Dangers: My body is winning by a fair bit.. Resisting and fleeing is getting harder and harder.
