Yonsei vs Korea!!!

Sorry I have been busy with midterms for the longest time so I haven't updated my blog at all. 

So on September 24, it was the BIG sports event of my school, Yonsei, versus its "rival" Korea University. I had to wake up at 7:30 in order to catch the bus that is taking us to the game. I was soooo close to not going because it was really early for me on a Saturday! However, this was a once in a lifetime chance so I dragged myself out of my room and made it to the game. 

The bus ride was an about an hour. When we got there, there was already a lot of people. We followed the rest of the students that were with us. I didn't know where to go, so me and my friends were trying to find out where Yonsei students sat. We got Korea University towels from students who were handing out free stuff. We finally found our spot and sat down. 

We waited for a while before the games started. The games were Rugby and then Soccer. The game finally started and during the whole time that the game was on, the yonsei students cheered to the music that was playing. After a while, I started to think that no one or at least a majority of the people, were not even watching the game; they were too busy focusing on cheering to the songs and dancing correctly. I saw that everyone around me had a Yonsei towel and a visor so I wanted one too. My friends and I decided to go and find where they were giving it out. After a while of searching, I spotted them in a box so we finally got a visor, but we couldn't find the towel :(

We went back to watch the game and cheered. However, I didn't have that much spirit so I didn't cheer for the whole 5 hours that I was there, but the rest of the students did. This is seriously the most spirit I have EVER seen; which is a nice thing lol Yonsei lost the Rugby game though :( The second game started. Our University was giving us water and kimbab so that was nice of them. By 3 pm, the sun was shining straight in our faces so I began to have a headache :(

I endured the sun for a bit, but then I decided that I want to leave because I also had a concert to go to at 7. One of my friend, Cristina, left with me. That was the end of my day there at the game. I was really glad that I went and I enjoyed my time there a lot ^_^

Namsan Tower!!!

So today is actually Yonko Geum Games for my school and Korea University. Yonko Geum games are when Yonsei and Korea University compete in sports: Baseball, Basketball, Ice Hockey, Rugby, and Soccer. I plan to go on Saturday because this night, me and my friends are going to Namsan Tower. So me, Paoyee, and Cristina had dinner before we headed off to Namsan Tower. However the dinner we had was horrible. We had noodles and these are some of the least tasty noodles I have ever tasted :(

After a not very satisfying dinner, we headed out to Namsan Tower. We took the subway there and finally after an hour, we arrived at the house where we can take the cable car up to the place where the tower is.

It was about 6 dollars to ride the cable car one way. There was a lot of people in the cable car so I barely got the chance to enjoy the view or take pictures. It was about a 3 minute ride before we reached our destination.  Paoyee and Cristina didn't want to pay 9,000 won to go up to the tower so I went by myself. I would really regret it if I didn't go up the tower. I bought my ticket and went to look around the area before it was my turn to take the elevator up the tower. I saw the threes where the locks of love were. There were so many of them:

I then went to get in line to go up the tower. The guide took us to the top of the tower though an elevator that is supposed to make you feel like you are flying into outer space. When we got into the elevator, we were told to look up and there was a movie that was playing. It was a clip of us going out of Earth and into outer space. We finally arrived at the second to top floor of the tower. I went around the tower and looked out. The scenery is beautiful; the camera did not do a good job at capturing this beauty, but it was better than nothing. I spent a good 30 minutes looking around the tower. It was really nice! I went down one floor and there was a cafe shop there and also big cut outs of JYJ and Jan Geun Suk lol I saw some old ladies taking pictures with the cut outs. After like an hour in the tower, I finally got back down to the first floor.

 I went to explore the shops around the tower. There was a teddy bear store so I went in there and that was where I saw Paoyee and Cristina. After taking pictures with the toys, even though they said that there are no pictures allowed, we left the store and headed back down the mountain. We had to walk back down the mountain. There were wooden stairs that led us all the way down. The walk down was really nice and relaxing. We finally got down to the bottom and headed back to the Subway station. However on our way back, we saw some SUJU posters on the wall of a building and we decided that we liked it. lol I know it was bad, but we took the posters from the wall and took it home with us. We felt ridiculous lol That marked the end of our night.
