It was Brittany's birthday today, so I treated her for lunch at Mr. Pizza. They actually had a vegetarian pizza, so I got excited. After lunch, we got gelato for the umpteenth time along with doing some window shopping. Afterwards, I watched more of my drama until a large group of us went out during the evening to celebrate her birthday by going to the 노래방 (karaoke room). Afterwards, we went back to her apartment to eat birthday cake and other goodies. Her cake was a sweet potato cake, which I personally didn't like, but everyone else did. I'm just not a fan of sweet potatoes, but they're super popular here in Korea. They make lots of unusual things out of sweet potatoes, including cakes obviously. Anyway, we also watched the movie Up, which was really good.

I got lunch with Brittany and then watched some more of the drama and then worked the afternoon shift. After the shift I went to Bjorn's apartment and chilled, watching some of the proceedings at the UN about Syria because there wasn't much on TV.


Friday, June 8th
I went to Emart and 서시장 (West Market; outdoor produce market) with Eric, which a bit under two hours. After that I tried to make fried rice in my apartment for lunch and it failed tastewise, but since it was all with fresh ingredients, I guess it was at least healthy.  Then I had the PM shift. We just got a speaker to blast music out in the waiting lines, which makes it so much more fun since you get to dance and sing, instead of just standing and letting people in every 10 minutes. However, the songs on the playlist are going to drive us insane by the end of the summer even though we like all of them now. Party Rock Anthem especially since we play that so much.

I had the morning shift. During my lunch break, I attended a special event at the Thailand Pavilion. There was a performance first.

Then there was a performance you could join in. It was essentially a massive congo line with people trying to do traditional Thai dance moves. Mine weren't so stellar, but it was a lot of fun.

After that we got some flowers and walked down to a fountain where they floated off into the water... 10 feet. But they were still really pretty.

After my shift I went out for a late Lunch with Esther, Anne, 승진, and her Korean friend that works in the Italian pavilion at a Chinese restaurant on the main street outside of Expo. Then we (minus the girl working at the Italian pavilion) went shopping in downtown. I was going to get gelato like always, but I was devastated to find out that they were having refrigeration problems. It was tragic. Later we went to an outdoor stall for dinner because most of the people in our group wanted 회 (sashimi). By this time Grace, Brittany A, and Rachel had also joined us. I got a 파전 (savory Korean pancake) with just veggies, which was the first time I've had one since being back in Korea. I got to eat the whole thing while everyone else split the other food. We didn't get back till like midnight and I only got back then because I left early so I would be well-rested for the morning shift the next day.
