Friday - Day ....... I lost count

Today started off with some of the guys from my floor going to help one of them get his alien registration card at the immigration office.  After that, we headed off to find this music mall that is 3 floors of nothing but musical instruments everywhere.  Stuart was the only one to make a purchase, and he got a small keyboard to help make music on his laptop.  After that, we found a "sports place" in Insadong that was full of cheap sport games to play.  The first thing we all did was a pitching speed competition.  We each had two throws to see who could pitch the fastest.
5th - Eric           - 60 km/hr (37mph)
4th - Frank        - 65 km/hr (40mph)
3rd - Stuart        - 83 km/hr (52 mph)
2nd - Myungsuh - 96 km/hr (60 mph)
1st - John (Me)  - 113 km/hr (70 mph)
Then, we headed upstairs to play more games we found.  The first I played was the basketball shooting game.  The high score on the machine was 361 points, and I was able to set the new high score of 496.

(This was me after just passing the high score with a whole other quarter left to go.)

Next, we messed around with a soccer power kicking thing and a how hard can you punch game (which I also set the record on).  Finally, we finished with the batting cages.  All of these activities cost 2,000 won or less (<$1.80).  The batting cages was the most expensive one, and you got 20 pitches for less that $2.  

We were all hungry after playing around, so we got dinner at a dumpling place.  Those dumplings were amazing (sorry mom, no picture).  We were all craving dessert, and we came across a place that sold the most famous dessert of Korea, the J cone.  

This picture is all you need to describe the J cone.  

Then, we decided to wander around some on our way to a shopping area one of the guys wanted to go to.  On the way we found a cathedral in Myeongdong.  I thought it looked nice, so I'm including it.  

The shopping area is pretty neat and packed full of people.  They had some of the biggest individual stores I have ever seen.  

After this, we called it a night and headed home.
