[Part 1] 163. Ulsan 울산 Day 1

I have 5 more days left before the start of my final semester in Silla. Not looking forward to it at all because I’ve just heard that my favourite and best Korean teacher ever, 이 선생님,  will be teaching the Chinese students instead of us ㅠㅜ nooooooooooooooo :( 참 슬프다 ㅠㅜ

Once the term starts, I won’t be able to go to Ulsan often so I decided to head to Ulsan today.
Set off for Seomyeon at around 1pm and I headed to Hana Bank to update my bank book and got a new book too because I ran out of pages for my old one. I love the Hana Bank branch at Seomyeon. It’s relatively empty and I never have to wait for more than 5 minutes for my turn.
Bought someone’s favourite 코코호도 walnut snack for him and arrived in Ulsan at almost 4.17pm, which was around the time I left Ulsan last Friday. Yes, I remember things like this lol.

Thanks Ah Ling jie for the charm bracelets! 

As usual, we went to a mart to get food before heading to his place. But on our way to the mart, there was an injured cat in our path and we didn’t know what to do. EH wanted to shift it to the side of the road but he didn’t know how and I think it was best that we didn’t touch it because we might injure it further and it was bleeding so much too. We stood by the car, wondering what to do until a car came behind us and we had no choice but to drive away so that the car could pass :( Poor cat! And we were so afraid that the car behind would think that we were the ones who injured it. What a situation!
On our way back to his place, we stopped by 땅땅치킨 which I’ve wanted to dine at for the longest time and it was finally open when we were there! But right after I had made the payment, his mum called him and told him not to buy the chicken because we were going to eat raw fish for dinner instead! Luckily, the cashier allowed me to cancel the order. But yet another missed opportunity to eat chicken.

Back in his home, everyone waited for me (so stressed!) to finish a nutritious drink his mum prepared for me before we set off for the seaside. We did some sightseeing while his parents bought the raw fish.
It was so cold by the seaside! I was only in a thin hoodie and my faux leather jacket. The daily temperature range is getting wider and wider these days as we head into end winter early spring. Just earlier today, I was perspiring in Seomyeon as I went about running some errands and then I almost froze when I was in Gangdong.

Headed back to his place and we had a very sumptuous dinner that left us so full that EH and I went for a walk after dinner and ended up at his primary school’s tracks where we met his parents who were exercising there too.

The table got fuller with more dishes after I took this photo

EH brought me to a very brilliant spot where we could see the sights of Ulsan.
