I have a big bone to pick with whomever decided the Seoul public transportation hours.  Subway closing down at 12am on weekends and holidays?  In a city where there are 24-hour coffee shops and clothing stores, and where it’s not uncommon for business-people to work super late hours?  Really?  I DID find out that the buses run later than the subway, though, which is helpful.. but still.  I’ve spent $50 in the past three nights getting home from Hongdae or Sinchon.  Ugh.  White Whine, I know.

Side notes: there are an obscene amount of people from Illinois here now—which is awesome, and the number will only increase when Patrick and Jen come in the fall :).  And the Lovely Bones is a really terrible movie.
