Yesterday, my cell group and friends went out to Korean Barbeque "samgyupsal" and had traditional Korean ice cream afterwards called Bingsu. I enjoyed the group meal a lot. We all helped to cook the meat with chives of garlic! We ate the beef with lettuce, rice and spicy/sweet sauce. Next we went to the large ice cream shop indoors and four people shared one bingsu. My table ate yogurt bingsu ice cream while other groups tried green tea or vanilla. This group meeting last four hours in the heat, then it poured for an hour before we left. Thank goodness I carry my umbrella everywhere I go!
Today was technically the beginning of school, however, I do not have classes on Thursday so I enjoyed the day off. Just returned back from the Korean Language Placement test where I gave them my name and ID number for the beginning level class. I went to the bank all by myself this morning and toured the club tables on the main road of Yonsei campus. It feels strange to be the minority. There were so many people out walking today! The atmosphere is so different from the smallness and quietness of Santa Clara. I had kimbap for $1500 Korean won ($1.50 USD) and a one dollar waffle dessert. So tasty and cheap!
Tonight, I will be heading to the North Seoul Tower where you can take an elevator to the top and see the entire city. Then, my friends and I will go night shopping to dongdaemun (open ALL night!). Tomorrow, I have my first class called Giftedness and Creativity and Language class too. It's all getting very exciting being a student here and seeing how much pride the Yonsei Students have for their university. Good thing the mosquitos stopped biting!! Until more cool things happen in my life...
