One Rainy Day in Hongdae

On my way to Rivers studio....

Hanyang University

Waiting at the bus stop

At Hanyang University, famous for its engineering department

Why did I come here???


2Touch and Fihz Workshop. It was dope.

Gamblerz Studio!

Weekly lessons at the Gamblerz studio, 15000 won per class

Tried to find the Gamblerz Studio...and failed...

I couldn't find their studio, so I just took some pics instead...

Bus (6003) Ride...Incheon Airport to Seoul National University

TIP Studio

Wussup, just went to Sinsa earlier this week to check out the free session at the TIP Studio. Instead, I found out they were practicing for a show. It was still a chill time. Met W.E.B. the in-house beatboxer, bboy Virus, Spring and Ant, and saw the rest of them doing their shit. 


I got to see the back office and chill with some other guys, and I got some freebies, including a TIP DVD!!^.^

If you're ever in Sinsa, hit it up. They don't have shows all the time, so you can practice 5PM-10PM. 

RIVERS CREW!!

Well, I didn't actually meet Rivers crew but I made it to their studio after looking around Hongdae for an hour, which actually isn't bad considering the density of hot korean girls in this region is slightly higher than other parts I've been to. It's a pretty hip area that actually has some legit street art on the walls, and of course lots of clothing stores/restaurants/bars. 

Now fo' sum pics;

bboy Born & I

After that class I met up with Mee Hee, one of the moderators and posters of big Korea events on bboyworld.com. Met this other bgirl from Brooklyn (her name is JinHee aka Bgirl Peacock); looked real tough..and this girl named Kat, who paid for my dinner (this will remind me to pay you back!), which was shabu shabu. Which was awesome by the way. 

Day two:

Profo Won from Rock Force and Floorgangz came in to teach a workshop...but look who I bumped into...!

Tino-Roc & I

He taught a lot of dope tricks for rockin'.

End of class pic: 

Class and Profo Won

After class Ben and another bgirl (Holly) and I went out for some drinks with other Floorgangz and Mis Lee. Not many pics but lotsa bboys:

Guy in the red plaid is NautyOne, beside him is Mis Lee from strife.tv, on his other side is Profo Won, then Tino. Guy in the tank is Phoenix and beside him is Two Touch. White guy with the funny face is Ben from New Zealand. Bboy like me haha. 

We went to a couple bars and we met up with Mee Hee, Dyzee and Puzzles.

I ended up leaving Hongdae at ~5:30am ....zzzzzz.......sojuu...ewww.......

I was really elated to know that I didn't have any class Monday. 

In Korea!

I was actually in Korea two days ago, but I've only now had sufficient time in front of a computer to write anything. Lots of pictures have been taken; the environment is just so different and interesting. My roommate is pretty chill, and seems friendly enough.

Best part so far is the amazingly cheap food (breakfast is ~1.70, lunch is ~2.50 and dinner is ~3.00) and no shortage of eye candy :]

once I get an adapter for my electronics I'll start posting more
