I got up later than the other days and had a late start out of the guesthouse. I took the subway to Hyewha stop and looked for the Lock Museum. I got out to another shopping area. It was a nice area with a lot of hip shops. My stomach grumbled and I found a place called Kraze Burger, which serves up hamburger concoctions. It was very good and I had some fries with them as well. I stopped at the local convenience, Mini Stop very close by and got some water and Pepsi.
After that, I went across the street to reorient myself. I found a Puma store and got some sweet kicks. A couple stores down there is a place called Basic House and I got a nice hooded sweatshirt.
I finally decided to find the museum and after getting lost for a bit, I found the place. It is called the Lock Museum, I know original right. It was supposed to cost me ₩5,000 , but there was no one at the place and there were not very friendly, so I just followed some women into the exhibit. The exhibit is not very big and it constituted of one main room and a couple little ones. The place had a lot of locks on display and it was really cool! I have always been interested in locks and how they work. I wish there were more explanations on how they worked and the differences between them. After browsing through the exhibit, I had a green tea latte downstairs in the café attached to the museum. It was nice as I read my book and just enjoyed myself. After that, I got a newspaper and headed back to the hotel. I didn’t feel like going out during the night because I was lazy and kind of tired. I ended up talking to the person at the front desk. She is very nice and probably one more generation older than me. I ordered some pizza from Dominos and shared it with her. It was nice to talk. I then met a retired couple from Finland and it was very interesting to hear their stories about traveling. Whilst chatting to them I overheard some young people checking in. I immediately picked out Spanish as their native language and introduced myself. There were five in the group and four of them were studying in Osaka (I can’t remember). The fifth worked in Taiwan and had met through their travels in Thailand during the summer. After they checked in and were settled, I helped out the Finnish couple find the right video camera for their son-in-law. After that, the group of students came back down and they asked me out. I obliged and joined them in finding a place to eat and drink some beer. We took a taxi and they insisted on going to the place where the hotel worker suggested. When we finally got to the area, they were enthralled at a crane machine where you could win stuffed animals. Finally, we got to the place, it was similar to an izakaya. We could only get beer and salads. When we were done, we went back to the guesthouse and splitted for the night.

Deadly jealous of your trip to Korea. I'm planning to go during Christmas but to Busan instead.
Stupid question but do you speak Korean? From your blog you seem to have got about pretty well.
