19days
hello! its the end of week 2 of class! time passes so fast here, but sometimes, its so slow! especially in class. no one responds to the teacher (besides me) its so frustrating! the class is so dead, i don’t know why everyone is so unparticipative! aside from fabian, the french guy, we look at each other and snort everytime our teacher asks if anyone wants to do the conversation thing, because everyone looks down at their books! super wtf. so most of the time me and fabian do it = = the japanese are realllly shy in class i guess! but outside class they are okay.
and omg its so tiring to communicate with them! using my shit japanese and our similarly shit level of korean! haha and right now my japanese is even below the level that it was when i was in hong kong! in hong kong i listened to sooo much japanese. and now here in korean, my japanese brain is fried. but its funny how we communicate this way lol… oh and during break our class is really quiet! we have all run out of questions to ask about each other haha!
today we had our first cultural event thing! we went to watch this beatbox action comedy live show which was pretty funny except i fell asleep halfway… i got really sleepy. waking up everyday at 745am is not fun! haha but at least this forces me to sleep at around 12midnight everyday. anyway this show only lasted for an hour! and when it ended everyone was like, “is this it?!” we spent almost an hour to get to the place and it ended within 1hour = = lucky this was free, i wouldn’t pay to watch it! the mall we went too was really nice tho~ TIMES SQUARE! as nice as hong kong’s haha. cept shinsaegae is a really expensive department store. we went to have dunkin donuts after and talked about whatever lol
speaking of which, dunkin’ donuts is really popular here! the donuts are pretty decently priced at 1,200-1,500won for one. i don’t usually eat donuts cos they have this weird smell but i ate a chocoholic one today and it was pretty good hehe. and earlier this week i met my student helper! she’s korean and her major is french. she speaks decent english tho so i’m glad. and she’s really nice!!! i like her and i guess i’ll be hanging out with her more in the near future. our first meeting and we met for 3 hours! haha it was really funny that we were both thinking of what to say and ask each other at the same time haha! i’m hoping she will bring me to see some inkigayo or music core show cos she says she’s gonna check it out for me lol. and of cos i did not reveal that i like snsd… way too gay! she likes ss501 haha
some random food pic, korean fried rice which we fry it ourselves. pretty tasty mmm
korean yakult! omg i have to buy it in such a big pack. 15 bottles! really cheap tho, 1,600yen (~sgd$2) and the delicious cheese cracker in the background. i love it! pretty pricey for only 4 packs tho! 8 biscuits = 1,000won :( i saw it for sale in some korean marts in singapore
and this korean style fake mochi sucks! i have no idea what it is but the other day my land lord came knocking on my door and gave me this. i put it in my mouth thinking it was gonna taste like green tea and sesame powder, but no.. its.. ew lol
and also this week i visited the hello kitty cafe that is 5mins away from my house. too near! just walk up, turn left to go down the stairs and there it is! there is also some sushi buffet along that street that i want to try soon. also the okonomiyaki restaurant that is further down the street! its popular! i saw people queuing up for it that day haha. yes the hello kitty cafe, its decently priced and okay~cute lol some pics~
