Showing Lauren Around!

Last week after I finished teaching I wanted to try and do as much with Lauren as I could before she leaves. Lauren came to my school on Monday for a visit and all the teachers really liked her and most of them said we look nothing alike. We got to leave early that day, so I took her Wolmido to show her the new bridge being built and to check out the pier area.

I made Lauren pose with Worldee, the Wolmido mascot.

However, it was really foggy that day, so she didn’t get to see the bridge and the pier is under construction.

Who needs street lights?? Some of the construction process.

Not the most attractive tourist attraction, but I can imagine it will look good when finished. We enjoyed a coffee at a small coffee shop and then headed home. I took her to Sinpo Market, which is by Dongincheon station, so that she could do some shopping. The market didn’t really fascinate us, so we headed to the underground shopping at Dongincheon. However, most of the stores weren’t open and Lauren wasn’t really feeling it. Then I decided we should head to Bucheon, so I could show her the popular bar there called, Rhythm and Booze and it was St. Patrick’s Day the day we went. The bar was dead, but we decided to stay and eat dinner there because the food is delicious. Afterward, we headed to Bupyeong and met Chris at the station before we headed to meet some of my friends for bowling. When we finally got there, they had already started, so Lauren and I just sat the round out, but then they decided to play another round, so I was on Nick and Julian’s team and Lauren was on Carolina and Jeff’s team. My team WON!! We headed to N’s pub briefly after bowling before calling it a night. I also took her to Bupyeong underground because I think it is the best underground shopping center in Incheon. Lauren bought a pair of shoes, some accessories and a few other little things. After we shopped the underground we had a small dinner and then headed to trivia night. Nicole, Mike and Paul were hosting that is why we went. We joined forces with Mike and Nick and then Andrea joined us later when she was finished at her staff dinner. We rocked a few categories, Canada and Korean music, to name a few, but we still came sixth.
