Miss Morton
Saturday
I went with my partner, Hye-won, to play pool with her class. We had a cheeky ice cream at home before heading out for a Thai body massage! It lasted two hours and was a vigorous massage by a very petite lady, not sure where she got her strength from!
We then went for 샤브샤브 (shabu-shabu) which is the Vietnamese/ Japanese fusion dish we also had on Friday... Love it!
In the afternoon we watched Frozen in 3D at home
For dinner we went out for Bibimbap, a popular dish where you mix together meat with rice and noodles (!) and different vegetables. I guess it's the Korean version of bubble and squeak as it was created to use up your leftover food.
Sunday
I went to The Hyundai Department store with Hye-won and her mum. Hyundai own a number of different things in Korea, it's not just a car manufacturer. We ate sushi for lunch!
The afternoon was great fun! All the students joined together to have a photo shoot in traditional hanboks (the national dress).
Finally, everyone came to my apartment for dinner and a party, including two Sungkwang teachers (I felt like a teacher at a school disco!) - DJ Morton had all the tunes though! A great time was had by all!

Dear diary,
I've woke up at 8:00 were I should be up by 7:30 (ups). I got ready in 10 minutes so therefore I could be able to drink a protein shake ( it was delicious). Me and gayoung we ran out of the apartment and we ran towards the bus stop where we waited for gayoung's friends. Finally after 10-15 minutes the bus arrived and it was very packed with people. The journey to the cinema which is based in city centre took us around 30 minutes. After, the long journey we walked towards the cinema where I have met gayoung's teacher for the first time, to be honest it was pretty scary also I had to introduce my self to 20 girls form gayoung's class. The movie that we all went to was "Dawn of the planet of the Apes". Personally I think this movies was incredible and it has shown the real side of humans, also during this movie I have cried a lot. The movies finished around 12 and me, gayoung and her 8 friends we decided that we are going to have a lunch together so we have walked towards the restaurant which was "200Gram". Gayoung ordered 3 dishes which were pasta with seafood, French pastry with cheese on top and finally medium rare steak. ( it was amazing and not even expensive). After having a delicious lunch with amazing people me and gayoung we met Ikea and Suyeon and after 20 minutes Nicole and Youngseo. As we walked out way to the "singing room" we have brought some cold smoothies. After cooling our bodies down with the smoothies we have walked towards the singing room which is "Rockshy". First I was very couriers why they are calling it singing room but when I went in there was many rooms where you could sing and dance……we had small stage in the top left corner which of course me and Ikea totally owned :) we all have sang a lot of songs including Korean songs as well! Haha! Me and Gayoung we went to "lottelia" which is pretty similar to McDonald's but it's more spice hahaha -.- I ordered some hot crispy chicken burger, don't get me wrong it was nice but too spicy for a European person haha. After having amazing food, gayoung went to pick up her sister and then 5 of us we went to "Roomiya". We watched "The ring 2" in Japanese with Korean subtitles (don't even know what they were saying but oh well ) while watching they movie we ate popcorn and we played "Janga". I had to pretend for 10 seconds that I am a chicken. After 40 minutes I fell asleep and Ikea took a picture of me -.- After nice sleep we went to the shop and I got some sweets and then we went to gayoung's home to have a girly night :) The day was pretty long but very good I hope I will have these kind of days everyday :)
Sunday
me and gayoung we got up around 11 o'clock. gayoung's dad dropped us off near the shopping centre. I bought some really nice clothes like skirt and a white top. Then I've got changed into them and gayoung helped me to look more Korean by putting the front if my t-shirt in my skirt! (Loved it) haha. After that we went to really nice bakery and got some nice stuff like cheese and sausage on a croissant (I had 3 of them!) :o. Then we have met Ikea and Suyeon we went to game centre and we played different games! After that all of us had to meet up to try on some traditional hanbok, after picking the one we wanted we could put make up on and do out hair. Then we had our professional photo shoot! After this we all have went to the apartment that Miss Morton is staying, we ate lovely dinner and we danced all night ;)
