My cousin and I went to the God concert--it was mostly teens there, but I like them! It was their farewell concert, so it was LONG and expensive (3 1/2 hours and $77). Teens were singing along to everything (mostly girls). Everyone was bobbing these blue light sticks! They screamed "I love you" and "I'll miss you" and "You'll always be with me." Crazy!

Best part: My cousin and I snuck to the back of the arena where we ended up backstage. We could see the band literally like 50 feet. Then we found a staircase that led to the bottom floor. We went down and found out it was the staff access and VIP area! We walked around like we were staff. One of the guys even asked us if we were staff and I said, "Yes" and quickly looked away. We hid in the bathroom a couple of times. And we even walked into the dancer's dressing rooms and God's VIP room.

We saw the mothers (I think) and other family and friends. God was still singing when we were exploring. We got to see all the God members. But of course, we played it cool and smiled back.  I didn't have the nerve to approach for an autograph (since, remember, I was staff). But man! We totally had access to all areas!!

If you ever can go, you have to. We got to go into the underground tunnels that the North Koreans made to try to sneak into South Korea. I don't recommend this tunnel tour if you you're weak because it was over a mile long and you had to hike down and back up the tunnel! It inclines down at a very steep angle and you have to walk back up this steep incline. Everybody was panting and sweating up a storm!

We also went over to the North Korean side, inside that famous UN building where they have the military meetings. You can't even point, gesture, or talk to them. It was scary! We even signed a waiver that said we would be in a hostile area and that death or injury may occur. We saw the 38 Degree Parallel Border, Freedom Building (South Korea), UN building, North Korean building across from the Freedom Building, "Propaganda Village" with the huge North Korean flag, the South Korean flag, and the Freedom Village (saw from outside). The border's lined with mines (land mines, both hidden and in the gates) and heavily guarded. We had to stand in two lines in order to move around. Pictures can only be taken in certain areas. Oh, and the North Korean military was taking pictures of us from afar, BUT it was amazing!!! You have to visit this place!!!

Fake stuff GALORE! There's every name brand you can think of (including Abercrombie). We walked about 3 miles and there's still more!!! We're going back next week to see everything later. Did you know they bring out the fake stuff late at night so that they don't get caught by the police? But all the fake stuff lines the streets, too! And if people know this, why don't the police come by at night?

Nandehmun is another major swapmeet area (with lots of fake stuff). I got to shop around again and found a GREAT place--the ACCESSORIES WHOLESALE FLOOR!!!! All the accessories were REALLY cheap, BUT you have to say you're going to sell it at a store. Otherwise, they jack up the prices. They don't know if you're lying unless you can't lie. You can buy earrings for $1 to $5, but only if you bargain with them and buy a lot. If buying only a couple pairs, they'll charge you more.

This is the most expensive shop (other than Gangnam). It's got everything American there. It has the Galleria mall, which is all Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Christian Dior, etc.. It's the Rodeo Drive of Korea, BUT IT'S TWICE THE COST OF WHAT YOU'D PAY IN THE US!!!!

We went to a cute coffee shop called Choc House. We had choco fondue with fruits and cookies. And we visited Coffee Bean and Starbucks--no venti here, only short, tall, and grandes. We also visited F.A.S. (Fruit Alcohol Store). THE BEST FRUIT SOJU EVER!!!! It's a nice restaurant! The flavored soju comes in that FRUIT. Pineapple soju comes in a pineapple. Apple soju... they give you an apple that's cut out so you can pour soju in it and drink from it. It's quite expensive, though, at $18 for pineapple and  $11 per person for apple, but worth it!

It cost $39 for a straight perm at a hair salon!! You can't beat that in LA. Get your hair done in Korea for cheap. DON'T SHOP AT GALLERIA! But I would check out the SPECIALTY SHOPS and get your hair done.
