A Zombie Walk in downtown Toronto? Don’t people have better things to do? People these days.
Well, since we (lunato, sikander, and alidooh) have “nothing to do” why don’t we go there and see what’s happening :D
Next year, we will definitely be in the zombies group dressed up as zombies and not just spectators. Alidooh, you would be the first Somali zombie :D
a saturday is always a weekend and that meant lunato would not be going to work today. we decided to spend the day in downtown seoul, wandering from one mall and shopping centre to another. we didn’t have any specific items to buy, the aim was to enjoy rather than spend on things neither of us really need. i enjoy foreign cuisines so we had a bite at a few choice restaurants. yumm.
while passing by the SETEC exhibition place, we saw numerous kids dressed up as anime andcomic characters. the annual Seoul Comic Book World exhibition was taking place today and since we were there already, we decided to visit and see what it is like. i had heard of comic- and anime-cons but had never been to one. this was a unique opportunity to explore and experience this fad.
the tickets were only $5 CDN and they allowed access to entrance area and the numerous halls inside. we took a lot of pictures :)
COEX mall wasn’t too far away from SETEC so we visited it again. we went there last time i was in Korea as well. it is a nice mall and a definite visit if you’re in Seoul area. there were some interactive games in the mall that lots of kids were playing. a projector was displaying a pool table and a soccer field on the floor and you could interact with the pool table balls and the soccer ball with your feet. it was quite impressive and fun as well. lunato just had to play them.. even if it meant winning against a poor little kid haha.
later at night we had a dinner reservation with lunato’s brother’s family tonight so after the comic-con and COEX mall, we took a bus that would take us to the yoido district. on the way we saw a Trump World tower.. in Seoul.. Trump is everywhere :P lunato’s brother’s favourite restaurant was in yodio and we spent about half an hour trying to find it.. but luckily we were on time and didn’t keep them waiting too long. mmmm, more good food. i’m going to gain so much weight here in Korea!!
as i mentioned earlier, last night dooh and i met at shekhar’s house in barrhaven. we watched Underworld:Evolution (mainly because of kate beckinsale in a black skin tight leather suit… and vampires.. everyone like vampires!.. and also because there was nothing else worth watching) at the new Barrhaven theatre (small theatre but close for all the people living in barhaven). the movie was a sequel to Underworld and i had forgotten most of the first movie so couldn’t really follow what was going on in this one. in any case, the vampire and werewolf fights were pretty fun to watch.
later we ordered pizza and went to the basement and started watching the Die Hard movies; Die Hard [1988], Die Hard 2 [1990], and Die Hard: With a vengeance [1995]. my personal favourite one is the second one. shekhar was really sleepy so we had to stop after watching the first two and decided to watch the third the next day… today. good times.
after finishing all three movies, we dropped dooh at home, and then i went to the bus station to take a Greyhound bus back home to mississauga. it was a fun weekend and hopefully i’ll get to repeat it again. there are so many excellent movies that neither shekhar nor dooh have seen. i have much work to do to get these two up to date.
btw, here is dooh’s writeup about the weekend.
