This weekend we headed up to Gwangju for our school seminar (which was held on one of our holidays and none of the teachers was excited to be there...) Apart from 90% of the seminar being in Korean and nothing we said would have any affect any way, it was an ok seminar (please note the sarcasm...) ANYWHO..... We had a free day in Gwangju after the seminar was over. With our coworkers, we spent the evening shopping around downtown Gwangju. We also rode the subway for the first time in Korea. The Gwangju Subway is pretty simple compared to Seoul or Busan, it has one line and its 1200 won per ride (thats about $1)!
Tequilaz
After a couple of hours, our coworkers were getting pretty hungry so we decided to go to Tequilaz, a Mexican restaurant with margaritas! We ordered the steak quesadilla, fajitas, margaritas, and some shots of tequila of course! The food was delicious and it definitely filed the craving for tex mex.
Gwangju Champions Stadium
Kia Tigers vs. Lotte Giants
Day 2 of our adventure we got tickets to the Kia Tigers baseball game at their brand new stadium! It was my first time to a baseball game and it was awesome! Baseball games here are a lot different from back in the states (or so I've heard). They are a lot more energetic, fun, and a lot cheaper! Seating areas are different with table style seating and a big picnic lawn. Chicken vendors sell fried chicken outside the stadium which you can actually bring in! You can actually bring your own food and drinks which is awesome!
They were also cheerleaders at the baseball game and a mini kpop rap concert. We also got the chance to play with thunder sticks, which lasted for about 2 seconds because the noise was unbearable. All in all, it was a great experience and we will probably come back for another game before the season ends. After the game, we decided to hit up Krispy Kreme! It is strawberry season so they were running a strawberry special which was delicious ;)
** April 12th, 2014: Kia Tigers won 3-0
