My first day in South Korea

Date -28/08/17

Today we finally left for South Korea in Asiana Airlines around 02:20 a.m. Since it was our first International flight all of us were excited and a bit tensed too.

But then we realised the entire procedure was really simple and everything went well. We reached Incheon Airport in Seoul at 01:13 p.m. Incheon Airport is beautiful and I was really impressed. It is one of the best and most popular airports in the world.

On gate one we recieved a warm welcome by the Gachon University students. On our way to the University we got to see a glimpse of Seoul, a port and the Seongnam city.

It is indeed a beautiful country. One gets to see huge buildings and technology enabled things everywhere and also a lot of greenery all around.

Sujin, our Mentor is very helpful, supportive and frieny. After keeping our stuff she took us to a store nearby to buy things that we needed urgently.

The best part of the day was when our mentors took us to a Korean Restaurant. We got to taste Korean food on the very first day. I couldn't learn to pronunciate their name but the food was delicious.

An exciting day, friendly people, beautiful views, group of Indian friends and a delicious meal - what more could I have asked for my first day in a foreign land. I am simply looking forward to my experience in this beautiful country.

First Sunset in South Korea

Date- 01/09/2017 I love watching sunsets. In the evening I was feeling a little upset so just went to the ground. I walked a bit and then sat on the grass for a while. While sitting there, I noticed sun was about to set so I began to notice. I wasn't really in the mood and did not really enjoy it much but felt good to notice the sunset after long. I did not had much to do today. In the morning, we went for the Induction of Korean language class. Professor Park Sun Kyu is going to be our teacher for the Korean language class. Initially, I just hated the Korean language when I tried to speak a few Korean words through some apps back in India. But after coming here and learning a couple of words I am beginning to enjoy it. I also learnt how to introduce myself in Korean. Now I really want to learn Korean. I think its gonna be fun. Our classes will be starting from monday and I will be selecting my courses tomorrow. I am feeling really sleepy right now so good night guys. 😊 ...

A Worthy Road With Healing Escapes

With too much time to spend on the clock, my mind -- eyeing an excuse -- offcourse went roaming back in the forbidden lanes of the past, amidst the tales still healing from pain. For most events, my dots do connect but maybe it's too early to number the same. A gentle reminder how I am best left in a tiring marathon. While I am definitely more aware than ever of my intentions and motivations; the journey itself is probably becoming an easing necessity. "What others see as a hustle is at times just an antidote at play." Until I am better equipped to truly let go of it all and before I am already too old for the same; I would rather just focus on my ambitions and take care of my dreams and deserving obligations. Yes, books can still leave me sleepy when left in their company for too long. But, I guess I finally have my reasons to let them consume my whole. From the few things I had envisioned for myself; topping the list were dreams of a young and...

Strange...

Today I got to know something about Korea that I thought was really strange. Gambling is generally prohibted for Koreans. Hailey told us that there is a huge Cassino in Korea where Koreans are not allowed to enter. It is only for the Foreigners or Koreans that have an American citizenship. In case of many clubs the situation is completely opposite. Lawrence told us that there are a lot of clubs which are meant for Koreans only and Foreigners are not allowed there. I found it really weird because I don't think there is any such similiar thing in India.
