Wonder Girls were doing their "Like this" flash mob at Times Square that day. The shopping mall was overcrowded by Wonderfuls. Supposed a flash mob where fans dance together with wonder girls but the situation is getting slightly out of control when Wonder girls came out. Thanks to them I was squeezed to the front and able to see Wonder girls clearly. One of the wonder girl member got squeeze out from the stage too.

After the wonder girls flash mob, we were too tired that we decided to settle our dinner in foodcourt of Times Square. The food order system is different with Malaysia, Korea food court has a counter specifically for ordering and paying no matter food from which counter. After making your order and payment, you will received this "UFO". It will notify you once your food is ready to collect from the counter.
Food court is a place you can find cheap food (less than 10,000 won) in Korea other than street food and convenient store. Water is free of charged where you can get it yourself from the water station. Everything in food court is self-service. You have to bring your finished food tray to the collection shelf yourself too after meal. Our dinner of the day is jajeongmyeon and Kimchijiggae. Food tasted not too good nor bad. After that we had a walk inside the mall before back to our hostel and ended our day 1 kpop fangirls trip.
