Winter is here Wednesday

Brr, what a chilly day!

I had a nice morning chat with my Mom and Grandpa before heading off to class. Classes went well, we got a lot of homework and a few last minute updates about our field trip tomorrow! (Will return Friday evening)

I came back and chatted with Jenny for a little. She is so great. I was asking about some motion sickness medicine my teacher suggested I get, and I asked if she knew how much it cost. She said she didn't know and then stopped chatting. A few minutes later she said, "I've been googling the average price and it should be between 1-3,000W". I know I had asked how much it was, but I wasn't expecting her to go look for a price if she didn't know it! And, when I did find and buy some, mine was 1,500W.

Then, I was off exploring. I found the science museum. It was kind of fun-but I think it would have been more interesting if I could have read things and had someone to go along with to do some of the activities together. After the museum I walked around the area--and I found myself back along Cheongyecheon--so I walked to Dongdaemun and did a little bit of shopping-finally bought a new dress!

I made my way back to campus and got japchae again--I was really craving the taste I was expecting not the one that I got yesterday. So, I went to a Kimbap shop. It was pretty good-on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the perfect taste I'm looking for, I would give it an 8. I'll have to keep looking. After dinner, I packed and listened to some Korean lessons online and it really helped me understand better what we've been doing in class the last 2 days.

Ahhh!! T-REX!!

Love this skyline
Changgyeong Palace

All this food for 5,000W (this japchae didn't have carrots like I was expecting and a lot of mushrooms)

My new dress

  1. 1.We like your lively writing style. Rather than saying merely, "It's chilly," you write: "Brr, what a chilly day." 2. We applaud Jenny's kind helpfulness. 3. We're glad that you're getting closer to "10"-tasting japchae. 4.That's a great comic photo of you posing with a T-Rex! Other photos also good. 5. What a nice surprise. We were going to ask you to include a photo of you in your new dress, on a future blog entry, and you thought of it before we could ask. Ruth & Mike.
