For some reason I didn't download the video quite right. I hope it works.

Today we took the subway to what I thought was the "Great Wall of Korea." That's what it is compared to on a smaller level. However, I took us somewhere off the beaten path. It was raining so hard that we needed to find shelter. So we warmed up to one of my favorite soups called bulgogi jungol.

After we left we headed towards Itaewon. A district near the military place. It is considered the melting pot of cultures. It had restaurants that served French, Turkish, African, food from Dubai and so much more.

For dinner, we went to Hongdae, which is a very popular place at night for young people. We got there before dark and it was already busy. We met some guys from California who said the shops are closed during the day but everything is open at night. It was still pouring and there were so many umbrellas that I felt like I was under a large walking tent at times. I wore a rain jacket and an umbrella and still got wet. When it rains, it literally pours here. It was so slick on the streets that I slipped at least fifteen times. It was ridiculous. I was foolish and wore my sandals thinking my shoes would get too wet. We ate at a Korean BBQ and had Samgyeopsal, a popular korean dish. They give you all of the sides and you cook the meat in front of you. It is so yummy. 

Tomorrow morning I start Lupron, which is an injectable hormone, that will hopefully do the trick. I will have to have shots for two weeks. At least that is what I understand so far. I really don't like needles. It will be all worth it, if it works. If not, at least I tried. 

Reagan learned a new word on his own today that I didn't know. He clicked his glass with a group of men. We would say, "cheers." But here they kom bei.
