one hundred and forty.

I'm almost at my halfway mark here on exchange.. Wow...

Crazy...

Anyway...

It'll be a double post today as I have been struggling to survive staying up and being sick at the same time... 

On the morning of the 8th... I got this on my door =].


A very warm gift from a friend of mine. =]. If she's reading this, I hope she knows it's keeping me very warm.

The 8th was Lyna's farewell dinner/mini party.
At around 6.30pm, we headed over to Itaewon for a Brazilian bbq buffet... But it was full and it was approaching their closing hour... =[. It was okay with me because I needed a break from buffets.. 3 buffets in one week cannot be good for me..

One of the posh streets of Itaewon.

Fanshyyy.

GROUP PHOTO. Thiago, Jessica, Justin, Lyna and Eero.

We went to a Thai and Chinese restaurant.. Interesting feel. It had a young atmosphere with a nice decor.. The food was pretty good for what I believed to be non-Thai chefs... But their service was very good. Definitely one of the better restaurants I've been to here in Korea.

I paid around $11 for a Pad Thai and around $4 for spring rolls - standard Australian price really.. But it's what you expect at Itaewon.

After dinner, we went back to Wangsimni and headed over to Beer Friends for some drinks.
Shot some darts, watched some good in-house entertainment (TV projector) and enjoyed each the last few hours we had left with Lyna.

Oh meet my girlfriend. Some random cheerleader (?) or someone...... Anyway...

After drinks, Wonjoo, Eero, Lyna and I went over to play pool until the trains started running again (5.30am)
After 3 hours, I couldn't go on anymore and needed to go home.. Especially when we had to wake up in 5-6 hours to take Lyna to the airport the next morning..

MORNING OF THE 9TH.

Train station waiting for our Incheon Airport train... Sad times.


How cute.

Arrived at the airport after 2 hours transit.. Had just enough time to spare before boarding.

Checking in.. Bags weighing in at 100g past 50kg limit... Which was fine.

My brunch!! Bulgogi Deopbab. Sooooo good. $9. Good side dishes, good soup and good food. Especially for airport cafeteria food.

Lyna's last dish in Korea... Yookgaejang. $9. Also very nice. Eero had a stir fried seafood udon which took home the prize. 

Cafeteria. 

Goodbyes are hard =[. It's now Eero left... Who will be leaving in about a week.. =[.


Bye Lyna!! Thanks for everything. You were like an older sister to me (actually everyone was older than me so I was the baby in the group)... Hope you've arrived safely back in the States and all the best for your future!
