Summary of Liz & Kirsti's visit and our last day~

Alternative title; Stuff I Ran Out Of Space For Or Forgot To Mention In The Last Post.

I'd only found out on Thursday that I actually had this Monday off school for the school's anniversary. It was perfect timing, as it meant I could spend extra time with Liz and Kirsti for their last full day here.

We started off by making our way to Hapjeong, to the YG Entertainment building. We didn't spend all that much time there, though we saw some trainees or staff every so often and TOP's manager go in (later he was smoking on the balcony and watching us - apparently a common occurrence).

As it was April Fools and friends knew we were at YG; the opportunity was too good to pass up. Between us, we tweeted we'd seen Seungri and that he'd gone blonde. Cue lots of uncontrollable cackling over our phones, watching our Twitter mentions explode. Liz even used my phone to take a blurred picture of the back of one of their vans parked in the car park and we pretended we missed taking an actual photo...


It was even more hilarious that a couple of other fans who were there had no idea what was going (although we did explain to them later about it) and TOP's manager was with another YG staff member, who were smoking and watching us. One of the other fans kindly took a photo of us all together - again, we had our UK Big Bang banners!



After this, we went back to Hongdae (as it's only one station away on line 2) and did a little bit more shopping. We ended up in Artbox, where Liz and I both bought small wheeled suitcases. Liz needed hers to get back home and... after all the stuff I'd somehow acquired over the weekend, I needed one too... But it'll also be really useful for short trips!

To round off the afternoon, we went over to TS Entertainment. It's actually also a nice building in a quiet neighbourhood. We found it easily enough and took a few photo's. The car park ahjussi was lovely and there were a few more fans about. Liz played on the exercise thing and slide in a small park opposite whilst the car park guy took our picture and had Kirsti sign and leave a message in a visitor's book.



Next thing we knew, a van pulled up opposite, people got out and Daehyun walked in. We'd thought B.A.P weren't in Seoul at all (they've had a lot of fan signings recently) but really had no idea about their schedule. It was surprise to see even one of them, but to be honest, if other fans who'd gotten much closer hadn't said who it was... I wouldn't have known. He had his face pretty much entirely covered, and was wearing one of the concert goods face masks.

After all that, we made our way back to Gangnam to drop off everything and start packing. We stopped at Baskin Robbins for ice cream shakes and then went allllll the way back over to Hongdae again for the evening. We met up with a girl who'd been to Tokyo for Big Bang's concert with Liz and had just been to Tokyo again to see Daesung. We went back to Teddy's Twosome cafe. It took me a few tries but I finally got a picture with us all in it! Sort of, anyway..


We spent so long in the cafe, I didn't really have time to do any more, and had to head home. We got one last picture before we went our separate ways;


Now I can't wait until more of my friends are able to visit!

P.S. Blogger, why do you insist on only justifying some of my paragraphs?! The only way I know around this is to re-type them again... T___T
