Day 43 -- Laundry

This morning on the walk to class I experienced what is probably the most rain I have ever seen in my life! The entire area around my classroom building was covered in at least an inch of rain, and even though the walk to my building is only two minutes and I had an umbrella, I got completely soaked. During class everyone was taking their shoes off and had their feet out so their shoes and socks could dry.

After class, I had lunch and Greek Day and then did my laundry. There were a number of complications in my attempt to do laundry ranging from difficulty paying for the machines to the fact that Ewha ran out of detergent, but over the course of the afternoon and evening I got everything washed. During the time, I worked on my homework, watched the finale of a TV show that just came out, and went to the convenience store to grab some food for dinner.

Day 53 -- Movie and K-Pop Dance Class

Image
This morning, I did some homework and then met up with Sonia, Sandi, and Adeline in Myeongdong. We went to Myeongdong Kyoja for lunch and had their dumplings and two noodle dishes. It was very rainy so we went to a movie theater in Myeongdong and watched the new Despicable Me movie. I enjoyed it, and it was also interesting to read the subtitles and see how the dialogue was translated because in a lot of cases it wasn't a direct translation. After the movie, it was raining even harder, so we stopped in the Lotte Young Department store until we finally had to head over to the Seoul Tourism Plaza for a dance class. It was a free class with about 15 other foreigners, and over the course of the hour we learned the dance for TWS's song "plot twist." It was a lot of fun and I was surprised by how quickly we learned it because whenever I learn choreography by myself it takes me a very long time! We went our separate ways after the class, and given the rain and the fact that ...

Day 62 -- National Museum of Korea

Image
After class today, I had a quick lunch at Waffle It Up before taking the subway to the National Museum of Korea. I briefly walked through the history section of the museum, but it was super crowded so I spent most of my time on the upper floors, which focused on wooden lacquerware, mother of pearl furniture, traditional paintings, and celadon pottery. Everything was really beautiful and I was glad to see it! After spending a couple of hours at the museum, I went back to my neighborhood and had dinner at Kkai Restaurant for their Singaporean chicken rice. I then went back to the dorm and studied grammar and vocabulary for a long time before watching some TV and going to bed.

Day 65 -- Hongdae

Image
Today was the first day of my final exams, and after the tests I was exhausted. I ate some food in my room before going to Hongdae for my favorite bingsu! I went into a few stores around Hongdae, including a photo booth on my bucket list that is teddy bear themed. Next I went to a store I have been wanting to go to for a long time called Object. It is four floors of cute pouches, stickers, phone accessories, posters, and tons of other things! I spent a long time there getting gifts for my friends before walking around the Sinchon area and finally going back to my dorm. I quickly stopped by the dorm before going to Aangan for dinner. After dinner, I spent the night doing laundry before going to bed.
