Day 4 - The DMZ & Seoul Tower
I actually don't have any photos from our trip to the demilitarized zone (DMZ) because I "forgot" my camera (it was actually in my bag the whole time!). But Jack helped me take lots of photos, so I'll just steal them from him afterwards >:)
Seoul Tower.

Day 5 - Namdaemun & Dr. Fish cafe!
We went to Namdaemun to buy souvenirs for friends and family. We came across a famous bao place and got some (by that time, we decided that long line-ups = really famous, therefore, must have)

I think it was Maggie's idea at first, but then we realized that the bao had pork... too bad!

We left early in the morning the day after, so that was pretty much it. ^^ It went by pretty fast. Got pretty close with my friends... Overall, I had a really enjoyable time. Thanks everyone! ^^

Maggie had to leave Hong Kong early to start summer school at UofT, so we tried to spend as much time with her possible before she left. We met up on campus and took photos at Main Building, omg, I'm gonna miss it so much...

With Andrew, Vicky, Amanda, Crystal & Maggie
