After dinner, we went Tongdaemun which is a famous shoping place and we can shop all night. There were lots of people although it was night. Today was Tursday and I wondered if they could work well and study well tomorrow! We walked around and went window-shopping. After a little while, NT and WD said repeatedly that they began feeling hungry. But I thought it was a joke and ignored them! Because we had just eaten dinner!!

We left for our hotel, when it was past 11 p.m. Express bus terminal station, the closest station to the hotel, has two subway lines. And there is a big underground mall, and an express bus terminal is built into part of the building. So it has a complicated structure.

As soon as we arrived at the station, NT and WD began saying that they were hungry again. So we looked for a restaurant in the station building. We found lots of restaurants around the 1st floor near the bus terminal. We went to a restaurant but of course the menu was written in only Korean. Fortunately, we found some menus with pictures and ordered them. NT doesn't like spicy food and so it was too risky to choose food just by looking, for her! It was almost 12 a.m. and we ate enough food!

After eating midnight snacks, we went to the hotel. But we weren't sure which exit lead to the street our hotel was on. We couldn't find our way through the building and we went in and out the wrong exits. It was midnight but we were attended by a body guard, WD. He was strong-looking and it made us feel reassured. But I think that it is just for show! After a while, we asked a security guard and at last we got out of the building. On our way to the hotel, we stopped at a convenience store. WD said, "If I can't eat a sweet after each meal, I feel like something is missing." And he bought a carton of milk and an Anpan, which was an red beens bread. It amazend me to see it!

We went back to the hotel around 1 a.m. and drank some beer. WD was having the Anpan and some milk. NT was eating some Senbai, which was Japanese traditional snack....Their stomachs were bottomless!!
NT fell asleep as soon as she lay down her bed, without taking a bath. And WD went to his extra bed with a sad look. I enjoyed sleeping on my double bed!!
