Hi all of you nice folks checking this page! Have a few new updates to talk about. First is that today I woke up to rain! The weather is changing to be much cooler, and I can feel the winter inching forwards. I can't wait to walk outside in November and December in the cold to see the street vendors and everyone bundled in warm Korean clothes.
Secondly, the picture of the delicious food above is what I ate after a full meal of chicken at the Korean Language Institute. It is called Honey Butter Bread with Green Tea and Vanilla-Chocolate Ice Cream on top. I'm proud to say I ordered in Korean as best I could. It tasted delicious, but the Zoo Cafe I was in was even cooler. There were paintings of animals on the wall and stuffed animals you could take with you while you study. I read for my cinema class a bit. Then, went to find some street food with my friends. We found this great chicken kabob cart with a line at least 12 people deep. The chicken was temperature hot and spicy hot, the latter only experienced by me and not my other friends. We walked around Ehwa Women's University for a bit then ventured into a photobooth place. We took the classic Korean pictures and I had a good time.
Tomorrow, we have the day off regular classes except Korean language. I will meet my friend, JungAe, to eat my first Korean sushi dish then we will hike up Ansan Mountain on which Yonsei University campus is located. Next, I will tutor my friend Da-bin in cursive handwriting and attend Korean class. I am proud to say I achieved an A on my first vocabulary test; I hope I can keep that up! Saturday evening I will attend the Lotte Family Concert with my FLC (Free Language Class) buddies where we will see BEAST, FT ISLAND and BIG BANG perform at Jamsil Stadium. I have lots of reading to do for classes, but still will find time to skype friends on Sunday and Monday (October 3rd is Korean National Foundation Day Holiday). I'm finding out that I like being in Korea more and more with the many great friendships I am making. I am also in better health now, but the mosquitos are still pretty relentless. Just sprayed bug repellant before bed - hoping this will save me as there is one sneaky mosquito lurking around my dorm. I tried to smack it with my Creativity book that finally arrived today, but to no avail. Have a great Thursday US friends. This is Katherine saying goodnight.
