Day 10 - Mos Burger and Hongik University Children's Park

Today was the first day I didn't have to get up early for any reason so I slept in! After I got up, I went with some friends to Sinchon station and ate lunch at Mos Burger, which is an interesting Japanese hamburger chain. I got a yakiniku rice burger, which is seasoned beef and lettuce on two "buns" made out of rice, which is really just rice that has been packed together. It was delicious but kind of expensive so I'm not sure I'll be going back there very often.

The yakiniku rice burger I had for lunch

After lunch I shopped around for a new cell phone case in Sinchon but couldn't find any that looked good and were decently priced. Eventually, I headed back to the dorm room and just hung out for a few hours.

Around 9:00 pm, I met a friend in the lobby of the dorm room who told me about the Hongik University Children's Park, which is a playground in the daytime but turns into a venue for street performers on Saturday nights, so I went with him and a few other friends to try and find the park.

It seemed easy, but finding the park was actually much more difficult than we imagined. After wondering around for about an hour and asking at least three different people for directions, we finally managed to find the park, only to discover that we had showed up too late and almost all of the street performers had gone home except for one group of guys playing djembe and conga drums.

A picture of Hongik University Children's Park at night that I found on the internet, because there was nothing cool to take a picture of when we got there!

We hung out in the park for a bit and then decided to go explore the streets of Hongdae, since the Children's Park is located right on the edge of the heart of Hongdae.

That's all for now~
