So, we finally wake up early enough to go to the COEX mall to see the Wax Museum exhibit today. Outside of the mall (I might have mentioned in my other COEX visit blog post) advertisements for Bean Pole with Daniel Henney (cutie from My Name is Kim Sam Soon) are everywhere! There's also an oversized cell phone that shows commercials of Daniel Henney and Kim Tae Hui. When we got to the mall, we were greeted at the entrance by 2 mascots! One was a monkey and the other was mouse or dog? But it's always fun to take pictures with mascots! I dunno the act of taking pictures with mascots makes me smile for some reason.
Caption: See what I mean! I'm beaming!
FUBU is pretty popular in S. Korea. It's kinda weird seeing asian people wearing FUBU, because from what I know FUBU is For Us By Us (for African Americans basically). But it seems like it's pretty popular despite the fact. We also walk by a comestics store called "Etude." Apparently, Song Hye Gyo is their main spokeswoman because her face was plastered all over that store and outside. Okay, I get the picture. LOL.
Anyways, on to the Wax Museum... outside of the exhibit, there's a wall covered with famous faces--which makes you believe that all of these featured people had wax exhibits in there... WRONG! I really wanted to see Jessica Alba but such false advertisement made me wanna cry. Ahn Jae Wook's (from Oh! Pil Seung) face was featured as well, but again false advertisement.
1. Me standing in front of a Song Hye Gyo Ad. 2. Me posing like Angelina Jolie (my belly isn't really that big! I stuffed my front pouch with a long wallet >_<). 3. Me with Abe Lincoln. 4. That's Nic Cage! You know he married a Korean girl. 5. Me with Jackie Chan (yah, doesn't look like him).
1. That's Bi! Notice his right hand, there's song fingers missing. (I'm guessing a rabid fangirl took 'em). 2. My sweetheart So ji sup. 3. Me kissing So ji sup! 3. Me with Jang Dong Gun 4. Me leaning against my dear Brad Pitt.
After the wax museum, we go to my friend's mom's bar and drink our asses off while helping out customers. Some drunkard friend of the mom's was infatuated with me and kept asking my friend about me in korean. He had won some money at the races and kept giving us money and buying drinks. Luckily, my night wasn't all spoiled by the drunkard... because the cute young korean boy came to say bye and help out also. Afterwards, we go out to karaoke and sing till our throats are hoarse. The nice lady gave us extra minutes, which was very kind of her because in the Oakland karaoke bars that never happens! While trying to catch a taxi back home, I see my first korean drunk fight between 3 ladies! LOL! It was an amusing thing to see, I should've took a picture but I didn't want them to see me.
