Annika and I decided to dress up and go to a nail salon.
We did.
We ate at a traditional restaurant for dinner. The rice had grain in it. There was also fish on the side. Kimchi, roots, rice, red spaghetti that we didn't touch. It was all in front of us.
Then, we were off starting our adventurous night first at Mango's then at Zara's. They were having a 70% sale! Soon, I notice.. no Annika in sight. That's okay, I thought to myself, she's probably in the dressing room. Another 10 minutes go by. Nope no one is coming out. Wait, are they closing the store? No.. Okay, maybe she is in Zara's .. nope, no one there just a bunch of girls desperately looking for a dress that will fit them. hmm, okay maybe I'll wait at our meeting spot. Hmm.. okay, I know I'm dressed up with heels and I am a foreigner in this city, but does everyone have to stare so much?? Hmm Alright I'll get off this seat and walk around to see if I might have missed her. Ouch these shoes hurt. Okay, calm down Ale she's not in the store. Well, at this point I might as well go to our coffee corner and get something for myself.
Turns out I never found Annika that night, so I bought some cheese cake and some coffee until it started pouring from above. So, I caught a cab and headed off back to KAIST. The rain made me take cover by the building with a piano on the second floor. For some reason I wanted to waste time and play. If you know me, you know that I have no experience on the piano, at least with a private teacher. But, I tried. That night I found out how hard it was to follow music with two hands... ehh but I got the hang of it and I was able to play the first two lines of... a music sheet.
Would you like to know what happened to little Annika? She went outside Zara's, looking for me. A guy saw her, snatched her and threw her into his white van as his Asian eyes cautiously looked everywhere to see if anyone was watching. Then, he drove off into the night. She was never heard of again.
She couldn't make up her mind about which pair of boots to buy. She was in the changing room for quite a while. In the end, she bought all of them, took a taxi, and went back to the room to talk on Skype to her boy "friend".
