Seoul Grand Park!

This weekend I met up with my friend Grace from WWU! It was nice to see a familiar face. We had a pretty damn adventurous day on Sunday. We went to Seoul Grand Park, an enormous place which consists of a museum of modern art, a rose garden, an amusement park, and a zoo. We were set on going to the zoo. I really wanted to go because last time I was there with my school, we only spent about 20 mins at the place. We saw 3 or 4 animals very fast, then the teachers decided it was time to go home. I was pretty mad, not gonna lie.

We got to see every single animal they house at the zoo. We even made it to the feeding/presentations of the tigers, lions, and elephants. I laughed a lot at the dolphin show. Most of the time I was thinking of my friend who told me she wanted to be a dolphin trainer after getting her psychology degree. We were also very brave and held a damn snake! I was pretty scared, not gonna lie. It reminded me of the time I did it in Miami. This snake was a lot smaller... but I was just as scared. As we were leaving the zoo, there was a live performance from an African group. The music was very upbeat and and the dancing was wild. I really enjoyed it.

We had some delicious lamb BBQ for dinner. I think I could eat lamb over beef or pork any day! I was also feeling very adventurous and so we ordered 똥 집, which literally translates to 'poop house.' According to everyone, it's the chicken's butthole. It didn't have any real flavor... more than anything it was just a weird texture.
