Recently it was my birthday, and I had a fantastic day with my closest friends in Korea. My roommate took me to some places to which she knew I wanted to travel, one of which was the YG Entertainment building in Hapjeong.
I made a video of this adventure for our ZISSpop channel, so you can view our shenanigans below ^.^
The night before my birthday, my friends were kind enough to take me to a cafe that I had not seen before, called "Cafe Poem". It was super cute and we had a lot of fun. Clearly they have paid attention to my cravings for new cafes. I cannot get enough of the cafes in Seoul!
The rest of my birthday involved brunch with my dear friend KiJoong (before my roommate Tinika woke up :p), pho with my Tinika (a favourite cuisine of mine!), mass at the Catholic church on campus, a Skype call with my family, a late-night birthday cake with my favourites and then ANOTHER cafe called "Coffeesmith" for midnight coffee (no regrets). I then stayed awake for a prolonged period of time watching pointless YouTube videos.
I also was blessed that my kind friends gave me some lovely gifts, most of which were snow-themed thanks to my newly-discovered love for snow! Thank you to my friends for the gifts and to my family in Australia for the lovely card.
Overall, a brilliant, intimate birthday with my closest friends; the activities of which proved that they truly do know me!
My life in Seoul is coming to an end and I am coming to terms with the fact that soon, I will have to say "see you later" to the dear friends that I have made here (note, I didn't write "goodbye"!).
Thank you for all your beautiful birthday messages. Keen to see your faces soon!
Signed in Seoul,
