Iron Man !!!
Well We've been back from the Honeymoon for awhile now. Life is good and I'll have to write an entry about that soon too. Yesterday I saw that they are making an Iron Man movie.
I managed to see the trailer. I was so excited because Ironman was my favourite Superhero as a child. The movie looks like it'll be awesome !
Here's the trailer:
And here's the official blog Iron man blog
I was really impresed to see that they use the song 'Iron man' by Black Sabbath too. One of the guys from work broke his wrist from Snowboarding and had a metal thing in his arm so we used to do that song when he entered the room.

Last day In Seoul
Last Day in Seoul
Today we met with Yeni's childhood friend from Korea at the Coex building. She was very nice and bought us lunch and Coffee. I was feeling pretty seedy from drinking the night before so I didn't eat much which was a shame. Yeni got some skin products and the lady in the shop gave her heaps of free stuff.
After that we met up with Juwan and his parents for our last dinner in Korea. We went to a Korean BBQ place which served smoked duck and smoked pork. It was awesome ! It had the best flavor and it was in this olden style building which was really cool. After we left and said goodbye to Juwan's parents, he drove us out to Incheon to our hotel.
I tried to take as many pictures of Korea at night as I could because it was really pretty with all the lights. Also all of the stores seemed to stay open all night. So I had quite a few pictures but most of them were too blury. The hotel itself was nice and it had a shuttle to the airport the next day. We had a good sleep because we had to wake up at 6 the next morning.

Sean's Birthday
I went shopping again with Yeni and Lisa, that was fun (not). They dragged me around the underground mall again. I'm not too sure how long we were there but it seemed to take forever. After that we went back to Yeni's auntie's house with a cake for Sean's birthday.
It turns out that the caught the guy who ran over the soldiers and stole thier weapons. He was an ex ROK soldier who has mental problems. Sounds like he turned himself in and the police didn't have much hope of finding him otherwise.
We had a lot of food and quite a lot of Soju. The Soju wasn't too bad but the drinking after caused a bit of a problem. After dinner we met some of Yeni's mum's friend's children. That was good fun. One of the friend's boyfriends spoke really good English so that was good for me. They were all very nice and I managed to ask where the Men's toilet was and be understood.
Juwan came to meet us when we got back about 12. He had the Friday off to hang out with us and Lisa. He stayed with us at the motel but was a little worried about putting us out. We said it was fine. The room we had this time was a traditional room which meant there was no bed, just matresses on the floor.

Final day in Jeju
Today we left Jeju to go back to Seoul. We were quite lucky to get a flight back a bit earlier than our scheduled flight. It was really hot in the airport so we were all pretty tired waiting for the plane. When we got back we went to Yeni's auntie's place where Yeni and Lisa were eating "Sundae" which is like black pudding as far as I can tell. I didn't like it but at least I've tried it now.
We didn't do anything else too exciting. I stayed with Yeni in a motel which was a little expensive considering you only have the room from 12 hours. The lady at the front desk thought Yeni's dad was a pimp. It was the kind of motel where you can rent rooms by the hour. It was quite a nice room, it had a massive TV and a heat pump which was good. The problem was that the underfloor heating was too hot and we didn't know how to turn it off.

Final full day in Jeju
Final full day in Jeju
Today we set off to the main mountain on the island. It has a great view all over the town. After a breakfast of Ramyeon(spicy noodles) we left on the complimentary shuttle. It turned out that it only went to the botanic gardens. We went to the gardens instead of the mountain and took some cool pictures there. After a spot of lunch we went back to the apartment we were staying at for a little rest from walking and then we were back out to see a waterfall. We started along the waterfall trail which was quite long and while there were a bunch of lookout points, trees obscured most of the view.
We got one picture and headed back for dinner before it got dark. I managed to flick an email off to Dad while I had WiFi access which I leeched from a surrounding building. We went to the same place we were at for Bulgogi cooked on a gas plate at our table. Man I missed beef ! It was great with some Soju too. After that we were all pretty full and beat so we went back to the hotel. Back to Seoul tommorrow ! We headed off to the arcade to see if we could play some games but there was too many school kids. We went for a night time stroll. It's quite pretty here at night as there are alot of lights.
On the way up back up the elevator there was a school girl who was tring to get in. We were annoyed with the school kids so we closed the doors and left without her. When we got to the 5th floor I pushed all the buttons so she would have a nice wait. How mean eh ?
