the great thing about studying in Yonsei is their graduation vacation. (even though I heard that other schools like Kyunghee provide FREE vacation every level). although the location is always the same; Seorak Mountain, but this mountain is known to be beautiful at all 4 seasons. and a little update for the friend’s I made in Korea ^^.
드디어 우리 우아한 학교의 졸업 여행 사진을 정리했네요~ 요즘 너무나 바빠서 업데이트 못했다 힝힝힝. 이젠 성균관대 다니고 있지만 연대의 추억들을 안 잊을건다. 친구들이랑 곧 해어져서 좀 아쉽지만 새로운 생활이 시작하는 표시다. 우리 6급 6반의 공공칠 쎔은 매일 밝게 가르쳤음에도 불구하고 우리 잘 했 때엔 막 초코나 과자를 사준다. 그래서 연대 6급 다니면 (이 쎔은 6급을 2년동안 가르쳤어요~) 공공칠 쎔의 반에 들어갈 수 있다면 좋겠어요 ^^. 이젠 발표들 다 했고 논문도 했고.. 졸업좌담회 까지 했다. 어려운 산들이 곧 다 넘어져서 보람이 느낀다 정말. 그러나 이젠 성대에 다니다가 연대의 출석시간을 주의해야겠다. 운이 안 좋으면 내일 친절하지 않은 성대 쎔을 만나면 졸업식과 시험을 못 갈 수도 있다. 내말은 연대의 시험과 졸업식은 둘다 금요일에 있단말이에요. 그래서 무저건 연대에 가야되거든요. 그러나 만약에 진짜 재수없게 나쁜 성대 교수를 만나면 금요일의 반은 절때 못 빠진다고 하면 성대에 가야죠? 어차피 대학교는 더 중요하니깐. 아무래도.. 6급에 들어간이상 졸업해야죠? 비싼 학비도 한 이유중이지만. 아.. 난 본래 좀 금한 성격이라서 걱정 많이 하고 있다. 수업을 갈때마다 좀 어려움을 느껴지면 막 조마조마할 듯? 성대에 좋은 반에 들어갔으니 매우 행복하다만 자꾸 애들이랑 놀러갈 수 못해서 정말로 진심으로 미안한다. 애들이 정말 많이 도와주시고 노력해서 소통 잘 못해도 많이 대화하고 있다. 이젠 대학생활도 시작하고 그런 미팅이나 소개팅 같은 것도 해보고 싶고 술 게임도 많이 배우고 싶다. ㅋㅋ 걍 뭐 웬만하는 남자를 만날 수 있다면 좋겠고 없다면 공부에 더 집중할 수 있지 뭐. 우리 나라의 문화와 큰 차이가 나지만 한국학생들 하는 것은 한번이라도 해보고 싶다. 대학생활은 아주 어려워질 거고 힘들지만 이층에 왔으니 최선을 다 할게요~
my all-girls class picture! well there’s only 3 guys in my class and 2 didn’t attend. =S. but I love my girls =3. all nice people.
trying to look stupid haha.
I couldn’t jump with them because I slipped down the stairs right before the trip and hurt my back T____T. I didn’t exactly enjoy the trip because I was in pain. =(.
we are very lesbo. but believe us all we talk about are guys =X. I mean, superstars lah. we both love Chansung from 2PM =3. =3 << that’s how Chansung look like actually hahahaha.
Seorak Mountain is located near the eastern sea of Korea. and the sea here is said to be the best. something geographical. something about the sea being cleaner and all. the sea waves in winter were strong. very very strong.
Han-u Bulgogi. Han-oo. han-u means beef bred in Korea. it’s something like Japan’s Kobe. ridiculously expensive I heard. I don’t buy myself beef since it’s expensive usually =S. so yeah, I’m not sure. haha. but the bulgogi is the cheapest of all han-u’s.
made sausages!!! with awesome mustard (biji-biji punya!) and ketchup yummmm. never loved sausages so much until I came to Korea. there is something about Korean people and their love for sausages and spams.
as “free” as it is, we actually have to prepare our own dinner. means using our own $$$. we clearly over did it. we spent almost 15,000won each person for all these ingredients. there were 9 of us. imagine. that’s around 400ringgit. seriously.
Masayo (Miss Kyopo Korea!!!), Karlan, Me, Megumi!
with our class teacher (we call her 007 teacher but her name’s 이은경 Lee Eun Gyeong) and our reading teacher (김보경 Kim Bo Gyeong).
I can’t believe we have been friends for a year now and that we’ll be apart in.. 2 weeks T___________T. I loveee Megumi as a whole and I really hope I could spend my years in Korea with her but she had to go back for Uni in Japan =((.
the view was so surreal. only bad thing visiting Seorak in Winter is that even with wearing very super thick clothes that would turn you into a gigantic fat bear, you’d still shiver. because it’s THAT cold.
wanted to make a snow angel but failed as the snow on the ground hardened =(.
more views of Seorak Mountain.
we walked up to the entrance to some temple and we couldn’t take it anymore so we walked back =S. I blame the weather. will definitely go back again next time!!!
the adorable Megumi with that enormous snowman. believe me, making a snowman that size isn’t easy.
my favourite candid picture. =3. Karlan, Megumi, Mari, Jin-woo.
“the road less taken”. teehee.
last picture before we left =3.
we then went to a hotel for buffet at Ashleys (famous buffet chain in Korea. reasonable for lunch @(#&@($(@ expensive for dinner. for the SAME THING.)
so here’s what they served. it was really good. better than that Ashleys (supposed to be most posh) in Sinchon.
yum that rice tasted like Nasi Gorend. that pastry sucked though. nice noodles they have =3.
everyone loves desserts!
I’ve always wondered how the beaches are when it snows. I bet you’ve wondered the same. here’s how they look like ;).
and more class pictures (taken recently).
suddenly feel so tall hahahaha. I am really glad I am in this class despite our class being the first in history not having anyone wasted (we didn’t even drink soju/beer!) during the trip. according to my teacher at least. we are now in the Yonsei Book of Records for not drinking during the trip! yay! drinking = culture in Korea.
okay time to sleep! GOODNIGHT!
you wear bikini by the beach, not winter jackets!
Jamie, you are one tall lady! Ive read you say that you are tall, wow. you really are! <3
