Prof Chen and the rest of the professors were invited for a heritage tour while the rest of us (the student that is) from the different universities were left behind to tend the booth. It is a rather boring day as there are lesser visitors today or maybe the excitement just kind of died down. Luckily we still have our local interpreter/host Susan, Rachel and Yeon Hong to keep us company. The day just pass by so slowly today and everyone just sort of get very restless.

After a long wait, the day just sort of ended, we had dinner at the food court at Basement 1 of the Convention Hall. At around 6pm, the bus was here to pick us up and leave for the hotel.
After reaching the hotel, I made an arrangement with Brandi to meet at 6:35pm to go out to capture the night scene of the neighborhood near the hotel. I really regretted for not bringing my tripod with me as the night scene here is really beautiful even though there is quite a bit light pollution here. I did try to capture a couple of shots by using higher ISO and larger aperture; however, the results are not really up to my expectation. We ended at 7:10pm or so and decided to come back the next morning instead as it is really getting dark and cold.
At around 8pm, the rest of the people are meeting up to go downtown again with Susan and Yeon Hong, the fun part is that 2 lecturers (one bring his spouse along too) from Cal Poly joined us too. We explore part of downtown and we ended up in a pub again. Hahaha. This time, we didn’t drink Soju but tall beer. The beer mug is very tall and there are 3 sizes, ACE – 900ml, KING – 800ml & Queen - ???ml (didn’t check how many ml as none order this). I ordered an ACE without really checking out the size but luckily it seems that my alcohol limit had reached a new level as I can finish that ACE beer and as what is left of Brandi’s Soju cocktail lemonade mix. Since our Korean host/interpreter Susan, Rachel (yes, Rachel meet us up at the pub) and Yeon Hong have been really great hosts and helping us a lot, we decided to buy them this session of booze to show our appreciation.
We drink until 12am or so and decided to call it a day, but Susan, Ryan and Jeff decided to stay for another round. After taking a cab back to the hotel, I just returned to my room and have a good rest. It is really fun, interesting and crazy night. How I wish that the night will not end…
I am going to miss this place, the people and the experience when I go back to Singapore. Sigh… Good times usually fly by without you noticing it. Alrighty, Cheerz.
