추석/Chuseok + 타사의 정원/Tasha's Garden + 홍대/Hongik University

Hope everyone had a wonderful 추석/Chuseok/Korean Thanksgiving holiday! Mine was pretty uneventful, but I met my cousin's sons. Apparently, they're my cousins once removed? They're SOSOSOSO cute:

Insoo/인수

Here's Hyunsoo/현수 being adorable and playing by himself. He did this for like 30 minutes straight: 

So cute.

Here are some of my aunt's watercolor paintings. My family is so talented! 

And here is a cousin who isn't directly related to me, but he's quite talented: 

The day after 추석/Chuseok, I met up with my uncle and aunts at this quirky restaurant called 타사의 정원/Tasha's Garden. It had fusion food with so many courses. So good: 

Beautiful with so many flowers.

Complimentary coffee. 

I then hung out with my friend in 홍대/Hongik University again, but this time, I got to experience the street musicians! Here is my absolute favorite: 

First time eating 호떡/hodduk/mini pastry with sweet filling in Korea. Noms. 

Saw these things and thought they were hilarious: 

Back to real life on Monday! I'm picking up my alien registration card, which is exciting! I hope they don't take ridiculously long for the pick up too...

Shinchon/신촌 + Night Out in Hongdae/홍대/Hongik University

Haven't posted in a few days, but here's a recap on the weekend (+Thursday):

Had chicken in Korea for the first time on Thursday (not really the weekend, but w/e):

Noms.

On Friday night, I met up with some friends from DC in Shinchon/신촌 and even went to Sogang University/서강대, where President Park went to college.

Kimbo, Miran, and I.

The famous Albatross.

Campus photos.

Creepy sculpture in the Shinchon/신촌 metro station.

Last night, a group of friends from KU went out in Hongdae/홍대/Hongik University, which has a vibrant night life. It was a fun experience:

Shiloh and I on the very very long bus ride to Hongdae/홍대/Hongik University.

Group photo! Stole this photo from Reena!

And to end this post, here is this awesome guy who was dancing in the streets of Hongdae/홍대/Hongik University:
