Friday - Immigration Issues

So today, my floormates and I headed over to the Immigration Office to apply for our Alien Registration Cards which we have to have along with a student visa to stay in the country.  We got there right at 9 am when it opened, and we were about 30th in line.  I was towards the end of our group and right when I went up to the machine to get my number it crashed.  So, I just stood there for 15 minutes while everyone looked at me as they tried to fix the machine before eventually just giving up.  They ended up just writing my number on a sheet of paper with a crayon.  When I went up to counter to do my registration, I learned that they switched people after writing my number, and the next guy wrote my number to the next person.  So at the counter, there were 2 35's.  I got my registration done pretty quickly once that was figured out, but the whole thing was pretty annoying because of the number thing.  After that, Johannes, Stuart, and I went to Itaewon which is the foreigners district to find some shoes for the gym.  The gyms in Korea do not allow you to use shoes that were worn outside, so I had to get some new shoes.

After shopping in Itaewon, we headed back to the apartment to take a nap and goof around before Stuart and I went to the gym.  After the gym, we all got some lunch before chilling in the apartment and going to sleep.
