## Resource

Staying one more night? Why?? Cause it's so quiet! Walking around Hongdae again, did one live stream on YouTube... I think I have a new content creation idea. Met up withthe Korean lady we met back in Australia! She lives in Gimpo so came over to Hapjeong for tea. Tried some BBQ, but not samgyupsol, some sort if pork barbecue. And I'm missing Trump again!
