Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook!!

This is an AWESOME TV show that was introduced to me by my Korean friends in Winona.  Especially, Dora, Stella, Cindy, Betty, and Harriet (because they thought I looked like the host).  It is a show that K Pop artists perform on, and are interviewed on.  I like it, because the host, Yoo Hee Yeol, is a musician himself, so he often performs with the guest musicians.  Also, his voice is really nice to listen to.  Even though... I can't understand what he is saying (someday, maybe)  It was a realllly great time, despite my poor Korean skill, and before the show began, and in between sets, I was able to go on stage, because I was the only American there haha.  There was an MC who entertained the audience between sets, and the question came up, who was from the farthest away.  So I got a Sketchbook, with the autographs of the performers and the host.  It was a REALLY fun time :)  It is also a little interesting how to attend this show.  To become an audience member of Sketchbook, you must write an interesting story to KBS, the broadcasting company, and they choose your story if it is interesting.  I know that it is super competitive to get on!! But my dear Eunbyeol is such an amazing writer, her story got accepted on her first attempt :) Although, she wouldn't tell me what she wrote about, so I am not exactly sure ;) But, it was a really awesome time, and I am really thankful to her for getting us the tickets :) :) :)




















PC Bong and MUSTOY cafe

In Korea, there are PC rooms everywhere!!!!!!! They are open 24/7, and they have really fast internet, and lots of games you can play online with your friends.  If anyone wonders why Koreans are so good at Starcraft, this is definitely a big part of it!!!! This is where Eunbyeol and I went to reserve tickets for Yoo Hee Youl's Sketchbook!! After that, the gamer world was calling to us, so we stayed and played some online shooter game for 2 hours. EPIC.  After our PC room adventures, we went to a cute little cafe where you can paint little characters, and spent another two hours there, perfecting our artwork ;)
