today is our final day.. i woke up again really late with another hangover... chris and i chatted til like 330 until we went to bed so i am so tired today. This morning my roomate Flavia and i woke up super late... we had to be in the auditorium by 9am for the teaching contest but i wasnt up til like 845... i felt so crappy haha

i made it on time anyways... our final day included a teaching contest.. the ppl who were doing it in my group were simone and james.. they made up a song because their topic was music... to make them feel better the whole of A1 decided to come up on stage with them... the winning group would win 100,000 each ($100aud) and our group won! i think everyone just enjoyed it because it was different.

after that we just packed our bags to leave. we were given tuna/ham sandwiches, a bottle of water and sent on our buses. it was sad saying farewell to everyone... we made plans to meet up the following weekend though so i guess its not too bad.

the bus ride was quick ... we were dropped off at uijeongbu and then all went our own way. Moises Hector and I decided to go shopping cos moises needed to buy a phone. we went to every single store trying to find this one phone that he wants a HTC diamond.. it wasnt available anywhere so we gave up and decided to go yongsan the following day.

we decided to go eat ... this was the biggest part of our day.. we were walking around looking for a samgyeopsal place.. thats like pork and lettuce etc.. we walked past a store and saw pictures of 2 pigs holding up frying tongs and they were wearing glasses... they looked cool so we decided to try it out. We went in and saw the menu which was tiny so we decided lets order the set... thinking it would come with strips of pork and lettuce and all the side... 10 mins later the man bought us a big pan with food already cooked.. we were like.. ok this isnt right but all well we'll just eat anyways cos we we're hungry. Started digging into it and realised where is the meat? we searched and searched and all we saw was sundae (this black sausage thing.. i dont know how to explain it) some pig skin and jabchae and cabbages.. we were like wtf is this? we kept eating not knowing what it was and was still confused to why there were cool looking pigs outside but not the dort of food we were looking for. After eating about 1/4 of that (i only ate the noodles and cabbages) we took and break and kept laughing at where we were... we looked into the kitchen and saw them cutting up long strips of intestines.. we were like what did we get ouselves into... we're like in an intestine house or something. We then looked outside at the huge sign and decided to use my phone to translate what it said.. it said 급창타온 (gupchang town) which meant .... intestine town... from that day til now we will never forget this word and will never enter any restaurant with that word ever again hahaha

안녕
