Today i was to Dongdaemun and Itaewon whit my exchange student friend from Finland, Jaana. We was supposed to meet at 11 am in Dongdaemun and fast buy a dress to Jaanas host sister and then go somewhere ells, well that didn't happen. First i woke up at 10.50 but Jaana sms'ing that she will be a bit late [what would i be i thought]. So I hurried to make myself ready to go and i was around 12 in Dongdaemun, as you maybe should know it was raining like heaven but that didn't do much to me, except that i didn't need to pay my subway be cause the water that came in had destroyed the "T-money money taking thing" (T-money is a korean card to witch you upload money and u use it in subway, busses and taxi. and in some stores and automates you can buy stuff whit it) so i had to just walk true like the other (that made some problem when i was supposed to go out be cause the "T-money money taking thing" saw me as a cheater when it hadn't registrate me going in. but luckily a friendly man who was cleaning the floor helped me thru :) ). But yeah i was there at 12 and when did Jaana come? ye well she was there 1.30pm -.-.. haha her way that should have been a 1h ride whit the subway turned out to be a 3h way whit bus, be cause the subway didn't work at all places. anyway i had some cozy time in a small café :).
After she got the dress we went to Itaewon and now something terribly happened. In Itaewon is plates on the ground for different countries (Itaewon is like the "foreigners place in korea" the reason why im not going there so often)(it really felt like a korea-town somewhere ells) like this for korea...
BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FIND FINLAND????
TERE... TERE??? WTF is that? TERE ISNT "HELLO" IN FINNISH... ITS ESTONIAN... In Finnish its TERVE.. omg. well at least they got the capital right and not Tallinn. They probably have bonjour on the Estonian one haha. Anyway I'm gonna find out who is in charge of those plates. If you know, please let me know.
But even if it might sound like that was the worst thing that happened today its far from it. Todays rain combinated whit yesterdays have made big problems in korea. roads under the water. When i came home whit the metro and it went over the Han river i saw a lot of things floating there, things that shouldn't be there, and at the side you could only se the tops of the streetlights. And many houses has been destroyed, not speaking of cars. Mountains has made mudslides and many people have died (over 38).
East Asia is going thru much right now.
