After visiting the village and Insadong, we saw a group of people staging protests at Myeong Dong area along the way. It was quite a spectacular sight to see as there was a big group of people gathering at a place, waving flags and shouting slogans; and there was an even bigger group of policemen standing guard. The motive of the gathering was to protest against the South Korean government from sending troops to Afghanistan.
The following day, I went to Yongsan technomart to get my handphone with the help of flora's korean classmate, HyungMin. The place is really similar to Sim Lim back in Singapore and the shops in technomart sells a huge variety of nice handphones ( those which you can flip, slide, turn... You can also watch tv on some models. Really cool phones!) I bought a used Samsung slide phone which costs 30,000 krw (sgd 50) and comes with 2 batteries and 1 charger with no contract. I think its a bargain as the condition of the phone is good and I like its design. Too bad Korea uses the cdma technology for its handphones and thus the phone is not usable if I bring it back to Singapore.Later in the night, we meet up with the KU people for dinner and had a meal of "chicken rice". Here is a picture of the chicken...
