Club 27

It's official. I'm 27. I can no longer introduce myself as "Hi I'm Angel, I'm in my mid-twenties." There's no way around it. I'm required to now say "Hi I'm Angel, I'm in my LATE twenties" which don't get me wrong sounds weird. I'll have to focus on the "twenties" part. For the birthday I spent my day traveling to Seoul (technically Osan) to spend the weekend with a really great friend. Although she met me at the bus terminal once we arrived to her apartment she ran ahead of me. This is what I walked into:

I personally found this to be hilarious AND very thoughtful, but she kept apologizing. Since it is vacation time for most (if not all) schools, our friends are traveling the world or are back home visiting their family and friends. Thus limiting the number of party guest. I had no problem with this. I just wanted to spend the day with a really good friend and explore more of Korea; explore is what we did!

1. Dr. Fish.

I would definitely go back! I loved it. It was like a $2.00 pedicure without nail painting, but included free bread. This place is located in Gangnam, Seoul and was really easy to find. As you can see from the video it was extremely difficult to get used to. After about five minutes I was finally able to calm myself down and leave my feet in the water to feed the fish.

I did have the option between little fish (pictured above) and large fish (pictured below). I stayed with the small fish for obvious reasons.

 Something about the large fish just grosses me out. If they can eat your little toe I don't think it's safe to stick your feet in their home and taunt them. Not wise.

2. Vatos

I was too excited, restless and hungry to take pictures. Not realizing it was Friday and we didn't make a reservation there was an hour wait. We put our names down and headed out to do some converse shopping and grab a quick drink. One beer later we ordered another in a to-go cup (which they advertise) and headed back to Vatos to wait another hour. Two hours later we were seated, buzzed and had ordered our food. I'm not sure if Vanessa was having fun playing the wait game, but I went to Seoul with two things I wanted to accomplish 1. Dr. Fish 2. Eat Kimchi fries. Once we were seated and  had ordered our food came rather fast. The Kimchi fries were absolutely amazing! My mouth is watering just thinking about them. I would like to go back, but maybe next time I'll go for lunch.

Random photos from that weekend.

If you can't tell, this is a backpack. I do find it a little funny, but also disorderly. I think I would need a system to work with all of those pockets.

  Vanessa and I on the subway. This is why I probably wont ever live in Seoul and why I tend to have yelling fits when I visit. Granted this was during rush hour in a popular area.

Today is officially my last day of vacation and for the most part I've accomplished all I wanted to. Most goals included catching up on TV shows/movies I've missed, eating new foods, cooking and staying home laying in bed. I'm personally okay with that. I may have developed bed sores and a sleep disorder, but isn't that what vacation is for?

Happy February
