Day 17 - Ho Bars & Hyundai Blazer Girl

Today I decided to re-visit Hongdae. In Seoul, there is a thing called Ho Bar. It's basically a bar where they assign your group a table and you can eat and drink there. And there is not just 1 Ho Bar, there is Ho Bar 2, Ho Bar 3, etc. So I made it my mission to see up to how much the number goes and take pics of each one ;)

I have already been into Ho Bar, Ho Bar 2 or 4 and 1O I think. I still need to find them all.

This is only Ho Bar II

The Ho Bar is actually a respectable place (except the toilet). The women are friendly and I think they can all speak English.

Ho Bar V... oh, it's the Hello Kitty Cafe

Since my new guesthouse is close to the Hyundai shopping center, I went there to get some food. It was Friday so of course I thought the blazer girl could be there... and she was! (1st time I met her was Friday)

From the side I walked to the store where she was, and she kept looking at me from a distance. I was not really expecting her to be there and at first I was not 1OO% sure it was her, but then I saw it was. We greeted each other with a "happy" annyeong haseyo (like "haha, it's you again"). Her hair had changed. I decided to walk by her and eat first (on the top floor). Maybe then her colleague would also not be there.

After eating I went down. The strange thing is that the mall closes at 8 but for some reasons the restaurants close later, but ppl don't eat after 8 except me? Anyways, when I went down, the escalators didn't work. The employees on each floor were busy with cardboard boxes or they were gone. So, I was too late.

At one of the lower floors, a guard saw me and he asked me if I was a customer. "Yes," I said in Korean, "I came from the restaurant." Because my Korean is a bit slow, he must have thought I work in a restaurant. I had to follow him and we went into a staff-only area. He showed me to the elevator and we waited with some other people. The elevator was full so we took the stairs and I exited through the staff exit. I didn't see blazer girl any more... ;(
