The day started really early today as it's Day 1 of orientation for all exchange students at Korea University! All the students staying at Rachel Livingtel met and walked together to school which is approx 10-20min walk depending on which part of campus you're heading, which sadly to say Biz school is pretty far ):
I didn't manage to take some nice pictures but you get the idea, KU is a really grand and gorgeous campus!
The orientation started with 2 hours of boring talks and introductions which I struggled to keep myself awake. All of us were split up so I was in Group 6, 'SIX ON THE BEACH', yeah so punny but... wth. It was pretty interesting interacting with different people all over the world and I met 2 really nice Japanese and a Korean that studies in Hong Kong and is back home for exchange? The funny thing was that the Japanese can't really speak/understand fluent English so we had a little hard time conversing. Then all of us ended up speaking in Korean cos they learned Korean and it was more comfortable for them. I'm still amazed by how I can survive here with the Korean I learned mainly from dramas hahaha. The buddies were pretty impressed that I didn't take any lessons and picked Korean on my own, sounding good in pronunciation most prolly cos I learn from dramas too. Told ya watching dramas is useful after all!
It was lunch time and all of us were given a meal coupon with a maximum spending of 5000 won! Just grab only haha the side dishes were mostly like 200won only so it's really pretty hard to max out. I should have gotten more yoghurt and drinks to bring home, saw the others doing that HAHA #cheapskate
It was IT session to create our student ID before we head on a campus tour. It was pretty boring and I left halfway with Wen Min haha but overall the campus is simply gorgeous!
What a pretty library to mug in hahaha except that I don't really wanna mug in Korea... :b
Their One Stop Service Centre with just amazing exterior, not like ours at YIH lolol
Some shots with the campus because I realised this post is gonna be boring without my face right right hehehe :b
Walked back home with Wen Min, the walk wasn't as far as we thought, prolly less than 15min from the main gate. Took a short nap and had dinner with Sherri nearby! We are always on a constant lookout for shops with shabby exteriors cos they look more authentic and cheap, but the criteria is there must be customers inside (singaporean mindset: got people eat means nice) LOLOL
Here's the choice for the day, looking shabby enough eh? It says Chun Cheot Kul Dal Gal Bi :)
Their signature is dalgalbi (what Yoogane in Singapore sells) but it was a little expensive, like 7000won and they didnt allowed sharing. So we ordered Octopus fried rice which was 4500won (S$5 ea) and it was really good, cooked right in front of us. Serving was huge as usual but satisfying!
Had a short stroll after dinner, date with my beloved suda mei hehe and I can finally haz time to watch some shows! Put on a mask from Nature Republic we got few days back which was really cheap haha loving the me time :D
