Museum of Korea and Ice Bar

Well it was a fun day for sure. First we hit up the Korean Museum which contained some amazing pieces. I was fascinated with the section on Buddhist sculptures. It was very interesting seeing how different Asian cultures depicted and understood Buddha and the Bodhisattvas! Funny little story, as we were in the Museum shop looking around at stuff to get this Korean woman approached me and asked "Vanessa Hudgens?" I of course confused just gave her a look, to which she asked where I was from and if I knew High School Musical. "American, and of course I do" being my response. She then goes on to tell me how beautiful I am and say that she and her son thought I was Vanessa and she then asked for a picture of me with him. Talk weirdness. I complied and told her that hopefully he can at least convince his friends that I was really her! We had a good little bonding-joke moment and went on!

After that, we meet up with Anne and explored Hauinde University (I am killing that spelling but opps!) We had an awesome fried rice meal and then went on a very long journey trying to find Sub-Zero, an all ice bar. We were lost for a good hour, until I got their phone number, found a Korean who could speak English and had him call and translate directions for us! We eventually found it after much confusion and boy was it worth it! It basically is a room with only ice, ice cups, ice walls, ice seats, ice sculptures. Included in out entrance fee was a drink and an Eskimo get-up! It was basically cool!

Now am off to bed, hitting up a hopefully awesome shopping area tom.!
