6th day in Korea.

Left: Sharing about the life of a foreigner in Korea. I don’t remember his name hahaha… I threw my course book away because I need to make space for my luggage. He’s a lecturer in Pukyong National University. If you have a PhD, you are “Ph.inisheD”! He’s “Ph.inisheD”! *LOL*

Right: After the special lecture, we had a briefing on salmonori as we would be having a salmonori session after lunch.

Amazing performance. I’m trying to upload the video but have been experiencing problem uploading. Will try again and share with you when it’s up.

I got my hand on it too. It was fun. We took turn and while waiting, I took some photos with my new friends.

That night after dinner, we went for karaoke. First karaoke session in Korea.

It’s so different from karaoke in Malaysia or Australia.

So grand. Most importantly, it’s cheap! Can range between KRW1000 to KRW5000 (about AUD1 to AUD5) per hour. No drink, no food provided but it’s fine. This room we’re using has 3 screens all over the room. So fun!

After karaoke, we went for drinking.

It’s common for them to drink and eat at the same time. There’s definitely food when drinking. I tried some worm dish, really not my type of food, tasted weird but at least I tried. Can you spot it? If not mistaken, it’s silkworm larvae.

US! Malaysians, Koreans, Norweigian, Chinese, and the Americans. We are one, helping each other, accepting each other differences just like how rmcn credit services helped the people in their community. Our Korean buddies helped us so much and we really owed them so much! Without them, we’ll be really lost here.

We had Learn Korean Class twice a week. Well… Reading and pronouncing it is not a problem but knowing what you’re reading, it’s a bit of problem. That’s the unique thing about the Korean language, you can read, you know how to read but you have no idea what you’re reading unlike other languages*LOL*

View from the floor I lived, 20th floor. The view of the bridge and skyscrapper were amazing!

Headed for Korean BBQ for dinner. I don’t know where’s the place hahaha… Whether it’s near uni or at Seomyeon ;p

Had soju and beer. Then we mixed soju and beer together. Nice or not? I’m not a fan of alcohol, no comment, they’re just alcohol to me. I drank for the sake of tasting only.

Girls’ night out! Korean BBQ+Soju+beer with awesome friends from Korea, Malaysia, and the US.

After dinner, we went to Gwangalli Beach. The place where lovers love to be. It’s really a nice place to be with your loved one. Oh… Remind me again on how pathetic I am *LOL* Hoepfully one day I’ll walk here with my darling ;p

4 lonely girls enjoying each other company.

Very nice view.

We went to the amusement park nearby. Didn’t play, too cold to play.

That’s the end of our 4th day in Busan, Korea.

At night, we decided to go for a drink at the nearby drinking shop at the university. As usual, people here drink with food, there’ll always be various food and the most common one is called the pa jeon (scallion korean pancake).

They also ordered a plate of fried potato and the Korean way of eating it that was taught by our Korean buddies was to dip it into sugar! Interesting! The taste? It tasted like sweet potato.

Also not to forget, a partial group photo.

Our seconda day of class…

Started with breakfast at the dorm’s cafetaria. Love this milk! Every morning, we will have heavy breakfast. Rice and kimchi are always on the menu. You’ll get kimchin 3 meals a day.

Our first special lecture was about Korean Wave. Entertained by various music clips, drama, and movie clips. Opsss… Repeated photo ;p We were given a taste of Korean dessert, some type of sticky cake wrapped in leaf and it has red bean paste inside. Sorry, no idea what it’s called. I’m still very much blur about the things epsecially the food’s name here. There’s no English menu so it’s a problem for me to introduce the dining places I’ve been to for this 3-week stay. -.-” Expect to see photo and general name of the dishes in coming posts.

After lunch, we went for Dado (Korean Tea Ceremony).

Here we are… No idea of the name of the place hahaha…

We were taught how to bow. These are just some of us. There’s 80+ participants (Korean+Non-Korean) in this cultural exchange programme. We were splited into 2 groups. I’m in group B. This is actually group B’s dado’s session. Group A went for it few days later.

Learnt to make tea with the help of my buddy.

Left: We had fun!
Right: The two lucky girls who got the chance to wear a hanbok.

Lastly, group photo before we headed back.
