After the fireworks were over, we started to walk back to Monica´s dad´s condo. Monica´s dad and his friend had gone home early because Ajashi was not feeling well. The crowds in the streets were fantastic, and after making only a few blocks of progress, Ji-Young suggested we go to the amusement park to pass the time until the crowds were more managable. Actually, she more like insisted. And then bought us each unlimited passes for the rest of the evening, even though Monica and I both said we didn´t really like amusement parks. As a final cruel injustice, Ji-Young refused to ride any rides at all and just sat there and watched as we were strapped into this monstrous tower of horror.
