Munchkin's First Weekend with her Big Sister!

Saturday the 14th Nicole, Lauren and I headed into Seoul for some St. Patrick’s Day celebrations! There was a parade and music festival open to the public by Dongdaemun station, which mostly consisted of foreigners.
This is the North gate, called Dongdaemun. The South gate, Namdaemun, was burned down last year.
We stopped to play around with the fun sculptures we encountered along the way.
Since, we got there so late, we missed the parade, but we got to enjoy some good music. The weather was cold except when we were standing in the sun, so we had to keep moving around. We checked out the area we were in and Nicole and I enjoyed some soju and cider, while Lauren enjoyed a coffee.

Lauren also joined in a little dance of with a drunken Korean man, who ended up wanting to talk instead of dance.
Proof that Lauren did in fact try and dance with a Korean man. The debate is on as to whether or not he was drunk.
We met up with some friends a few hours later and headed in to Itaewon to grab some dinner at a Mexican restaurant called, Amigo’s. A few of us enjoyed some margarita’s and we all enjoyed the band that played.

It was only a matter of time before Lauren tried out the "Victory" sign...two days to be exact.

After dinner we headed to Hongdae to put on our dancing shoes and get the St. Patrick’s Day Party really started. We headed to Jane’s Groove because that night club always has good music and I have yet to have a bad time there.

Around 11:00 p.m. I was getting really tired and a little bit bored, so I decided I wanted to catch the bus home. Lauren and I left together, obviously, and I became known as the “lamer” because it is so unlike me to leave a party early, let alone first. Sunday, we slept in, but because we didn’t stay out late Saturday night we didn’t have hangovers to deal with.
