PKNU Cultural Exchange – 7.1.2012 (Part 1)

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on PKNU Cultural Exchange – 7.1.2012 (Part 1)


On the 7th day, which was a Saturday, we decided to go for Busan City Tour. We had to take the bus outside Busan Train Station.


We got on the bus by paying KRW10,000/adult. It’s a hop-on-hop-off type of bus. Quite worth it I guess as it will cost you more on normal bus or subway to have an overview of Busan city but too bad I didn’t fully utilized it as we change course half way to go somehwere else. Do bear in mind that the ticket only valid during the day time, you have to buy another ticket for the night tour.


Off we went… Without any of our Korean buddies with us. We’re on our own exploring the city. Sat on top of the bus, soooo cold~


But worth it. Great view. Just couldn’t believe it that we actually gone back to our university area ;p The building on the right, that’s our dormitory.


Left: Megamart is the place we always go, very huge. It’s everywhere in Busan. It’s a hypermarket and everything was sold in bulk or big-sized.
Right: The view of the buildings at Gwangalli Beach.


The highways.


The bridge, popular landmark in Busan. The night view was nice.



The day time view of Gwangalli Beach. You can see the night view here…

Australia Day 2012 – Part 2

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Australia Day 2012 – Part 2

Last day of January 2012! Gone is the first month of 2012! WOW! Last week today, I just got back from my Korea trip and it was 2nd day of CNY.

Anyway, back to the topic ;p Took a video during the start, here you go…

I’ll just let the photos do all the talking.






After the ending of the parade, everyone shifted to the Torrens River for the concert.

So many people! I didn’t stay, I just had a stroll there and went back to my apartment. At night, there’s fireworks and it gave me the CNY mood hahaha… It was a long and grand one. At first I heard the fireworks from my apartment and was lazy to go up to the common area to have a look because I thought it won’t be long and it might end when I’m up there but it went on for so long that at the end I went up and caught the last few minutes only, should have gone up earlier.

So many things need to do, still have so many days of my Korea trip to post. Now have to rush two assignments even though due date is 2 weeks away because welcome week and orientation week is coming and I’m going to be involved in many of the activities and will be busy so must get the assignment out of the way.

Hope you guys had enjoyed the first month of 2012 and CNY is going to end soon.

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.

26th January was Australia Day.

I decided to check out the parade as this is my first time and likely to me last time to see this event.


It’s celebrated annually nationwide.


It’s the national day of Australia.


In Adelaide, there’s parade with many people from different walk of life taking part in it.


I was expecting there’s Malaysian community in the parade but none.


Very colourful costumes.


From the Chinese community.


This sure gave me the feel of Chinese New Year. It was the 4th day of CNY.

More to come…

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.
