*In Jacklyn's "Adventures in South Korea" Facebook photo album*

We can see South Korea coming towards us in the distance! We're almost there!!!!!

This is our skyline from the hotel. Pretty, pretty, pretty Seoul. :)

Gangnam~! Okay, we didn't actually spend very much time here, because it's the party district. but it was pretty at night. We absolutely did NOT go there because Mel got us lost. Absolutely did not.

Mel- "I did NOT get you lost! I told you we were going the wrong direction and you said that you were following the map! So then I tried to use the map, and THEN we got lost!"

Em- "Still your fault."

Mel- "Is not."

Eliz- "Is too!"

Jackie- "Geez, Mel, getting your friends lost in South Korea."

Mel- "Shut up, sibling, you weren't even there!"

So here we are in our actual destination, EatYourKimchi studios! We weren't able to actually go in and talk to them, sadly, but we were here. And then we went and got Ramyeon because it was cold outside. 

Ali- "Very cold."

Jacklyn- "Not very much snow, though."

Mel- "Not really, in Korea."

Eliz- "Well, at least compared to Wisconsin."

Em- "Very true. At least it's not like Finland or something. XD"

Ali- "But whatever, because the ramyeon was delicious.

And here's a picture of the five of us trying out banana milk. It was kind of an odd texture, but you get used to it pretty quickly. It's actually pretty tasty.

In a mini airlift, here's a picture of Ali and Eliz waving at us from down below! You can see our feet, too. Ali was too scared to go on any of the rides. Heehee. Lotte World is so cool!

Now Ali has my camera. Of course, as your can see, this is a picture of me, Mel, and Em on one of the rides. Our expressions are great. Look at how BIG Mel's eyes are!

Tessa- "Emily's expression is the greatest."

James- "What was the name of the ride?"

Jacklyn- "I don't really know. It was all in Korean."

James- "What, you went to Korea and didn't even pick up that much Korean?!"

Em- *shrugs*

Ali, Em and Mel in Pororo land! Mel makes such a serious, adult idol. Kids'll love her, kekeke. 

They wouldn't let us in the kids' land because we were too old... Ali was sad. 

Mel- "You are never too old for an indoor swingset!"

Em- "That's what I said!"

Jacklyn- "You think they would've let us by because we're foreigners..."

Mel- "Not really. We're American, remember? There are a few... negative views about us."

Eliz- "But we were trying to be nice, polite, happy people!"

Mel- "I know, I know. It's okay, we were able to go on the carousel, at least. :)"

There were sooooo many couples here! Is there something weird about going to an amusement park as friends? I honestly don't think it would be as much fun with a boyfriend. Maybe one of us should get a boyfriend and come back here see what the difference is, hahaha.

Jackie- "Oooh, sounds like a good idea! So who's the closest? Meeeelllll?"

Henry- "Mel. Definitely Mel."

Mel- "Are you kidding me, Henry? I'm the FURTHEST away! I'm too much of a trainee/fangirl to spend any time caring about boys!"

Henry- "That's what you think."

Em- "Henry! Divulge nothing!"

Henry- "Oh yeah, sorry."

Mel- "What, what?! Divulge what?!"

Jacklyn- "Nothing. :)"

Ali- "Nothing, Melly."

Eliz- "Noooothing, nothing at all, Mellison."

Henry- "I'll tell you eventually, Mel, don't worry." 

Mel- "Henry, you . -.-"

Riding bikes on the Han River! But we didn't have enough money to rent five bikes, so I was the only one with my own bike! Ali and Em, Eliz and Mel had couple bikes. XD People were giving us weird looks. But come on, you just don't see couple bikes very much back home! And we had fun.

James- "The river wasn't really crowded, even though it's Christmastime?!"

Jacklyn- "Well, we were there at like one in the morning, so the only people there were couples making out, some homeless people, and a few random drunks. But we were okay."

Henry- "You were at the Han River at ONE IN THE MORNING?! And you talk about the drunk people so lightheartedly!"

Ali- "We're from Wisconsin. Do you know how many drunk people we've seen?"

Mel- "Yeah, you think the Han at one in the morning is bad, you've never seen Green Bay during Oktoberfest in the middle of the day. Appleton, too."

Jackie- "Hahahaha yeah... of course, it's bad enough just during Packer games."

Tessa- "You guys, Oktoberfest in Germany..."

Mel- Yeah, I saw those pictures. That is INSANE."

Henry- "Mel, I worry about you sometimes. You guys seriously shouldn't do stuff like that."

Mel- "We'll be fine, Henry. I still have Tessa's knife, remember? Not to mention that I scream as loud as a firetruck siren. And seriously, the river was BEAUTIFUL at that time of night. Can't you see the picture?"

Henry- "Don't make me tell Sungmin..."

Mel- "AH! Don't do that! Fine, we'll be safe from now on, I promise!"

Henry- "I know your weaknesses, Queen Be. o.O"

Mel- "-.-"

And this is Ali and Em racing against Eliz and Mel! The bridge was the finish line! 

And here they are, collapsed, at the finish line. Eliz and Mel won, but I think that's because Mel's been working out way more than the rest of us. :P

Aunt Tammy- "Wow, Mel, you've gotten really skinny..."

Mel- "But I'm so strong! Look at those amazing legs, they beat both Ali and Emily!"

Eliz- "Hey, you didn't do it by yourself!"

Aunt Tammy- Just as long as you and your friends are staying safe and healthy. I'm sure you guys can take care of yourselves, I don't know what your friend Henry is talking about. :D"

Henry- "Hey!"

Jackie- "Mel doesn't have a boyfriend because the boys all hear her and run away. Drunks are no problem!"

Aunt Tammy- "See, that's what I thought."

And now we head back to the hotel on the city bus, using our visitors' passes. Mel has a permanent pass! See, we're holding them up together, and Mel's is cooler. But you can't read what they say because they're all in Korean. XD

Em- "The city bus was really fun. It rememinded me of the sad scene with Jeremy from You're Beautiful, though..."

Mel- "Yeah, the bus is fairly empty that time of night. Unfortunately that's usually when I'm riding it..."

Eliz- "We dared Ali to try to go talk to one of the guys, but he moved away when she sat down by him. I think we freak out the Korean guys. :P"

Ali- "It was so rude! I was trying to be FRIENDLY!"

Mel- "At least it's not like Kyuhyun on SJM Celebrity Tours, where he was totally flirting with this one poor Chinese guy he sat down next to on the bus. Mostly because they weren't sure if they were on the right bus. XD"

Henry- "Yeah, Kyuhyun was being really awkward... even for a SuJu member..."

Jackie- "And these are the people you idolize, Mel? *Shakes head*"

Mel- "Absolutely! I wouldn't love them so much if they weren't so dorky!"

And now we're getting ready to go to a charity concert that Mel's going to be in!!!!! With Sungmin!!! Here we are, the Wisconsin Girls, dressing up in our Christmas best to go see Mel play the ukulele! We hear there's going to be a really big surprise! U.S.A. hwaiting!
