It's been too long since I last posted! Am currently in Korea for my final semester of study exchange so I guess there's no better time to get started on blogging again then right now.
It's day 3 today and we had our orientation in Korea University where everyone is split into large groups then sub-groups. Orientation was held in Incheon Memorial Hall and begun early in the morning at 0830hrs. Our school has really nice gothic style buildings but they all look pretty similar so I'm guessing that it won't be easy to find my way around when lessons begin.
We were brought around the school for a campus tour after introductory talks by several speakers. The campus tour felt more like an opportunity for the entire group to have group photos taken but that's fine with me. There were plenty of chances for us to interact with the KUBA buddies and fellow exchange students while walking about.
Lunch was included and we were provided with a lunch coupon! We only one choice because the other option - Bibimbap (which sounded alot better!) had already ran out since our lunch was the later time slot. The kimbab was courtesy of my KUBA buddy who brought it along in her bag. See the last piece of kimbab which is exceptionally large? She stuffed the entire piece into her mouth after some contemplation about how it could be eaten and it was a comical sight because she spent a good minute or two after that trying to chew it.
After orientation was over, the bunch of us SIM-UOB folks staying at Rachel Livingtel had dinner at a place in Anam area, near our school and livingtel. This restaurant serves only korean army stew (부대찌개 / budae jjigae) and it was really yummy. I love the cheese they added into the soup which gave a deliciously creamy taste. Possibly my favourite meal here so far and very reasonably priced! The serving below was for 4 people and came with rice. It costed about ₩5700 each which is approximately SGD6.
Another long day tomorrow in school for more orientation activities, and more things to get used to before lessons start this Monday. Goodnight!
