Formula 1 and Honey Chicken

I spent most of my weekend on the bus.

This weekend I took the bus to Daejeon to meet up with my friend, to then take another bus to Gwanju to meet up with our other friend. The Formula 1 race was in Korea this past week so we decided to go.

I was on the bus to Daejeon when my friend called and said that there was no more buses to Gwanju that night and we have two options; one was to take the KTX train which about about $52 and other was to take a taxi for $50. We decided with the taxi. So we each paid $50 for a taxi ride that took about 2hours. I'm not sure how to describe that experience. There was another lady in the taxi with us. She also missed her bus. The taxi driver dropped her off her in Jeonju then took us to Gwanju. By the time we got there, it was about 12:30am. We were exhausted but was glad to see our friend. We got back to her place and saw the chicken place that I really really like. We ordered chicken and ate around 1 in the morning. The chicken made everything better again :P

The next morning, we took a bus to Mokpo to catch the shuttle to Korea International Circuit (more bus time). We got there around 1pm and went to the stadium. It was Saturday so the cars were just doing trials. I liked it; my first time seeing racecars. 

We decided to stay for the k-pop concert that night. We got in line, got into the stadium area, heard few bands/singers perform, then left. It was really not worth our time. They all sounded the same and we didn't know who they were. The headliners were TVXQ and Girls' Generation but we didn't want to stay that long. We left, had dinner, and walked around downtown area. 

We got back to Gwanju around midnight and ordered chicken again. We had to... haha 
On Sunday, I took the bus from Gwanju to Pohang. It took about 4 hours.
