A Midnight Snack

Once in awhile you just need a midnight snack!  I was finishing up a powerpoint last night for my Sports Medicine class and afterwards I went to Andrew's room to hang out and plan our upcoming trip to Busan.  Around midnight we both gave each other the "I need some nosh" look.  Midterms were finally over and after barely leaving SK Global House for the past 4 days, we were feeling a little stir-crazy.

We decided to venture into Sinchon for something to eat.  We bundled up, which was an entirely new experience for us since being in Korea.  It was still 70 degrees just two days ago, and last night it was only 36 degrees!  Well that's Seoul weather for you.  It's hard to imagine Seoul being anything but hot and humid.  Walking outside with our wool coats, scarves, and gloves, felt really good though.  To me, it was the familiarity of upstate New York weather.  You could even feel the refreshing coldness in the air, I just love that wintery smell!

Between the quiet of the night and the cold temperatures, Sinchon was so peaceful!  Of course the only things open were Korean BBQ restaurants and coffee and waffle shops.  That was okay though, we found a delicious K-BBQ restaurant that we haven't tried before and it hit the spot.  Surprisingly, the place was actually busy at that hour, it seems that New York isn't the only city that never sleeps.

We headed back, and although it was late and we both had class the next morning, I'm still glad we went.  For the first time in awhile I slept really well last night.  And of course it was nice waking up to the heated floors.  So bring on the cold weather, Seoul!
