Went for Shopping

Date - 2nd September 2017

Today was a saturday so we went to a mall for shopping with our mentor. I bought myself a top and a skirt. We also watched Lotte World Tower. Thats the tallest building of South Korea. It is the first sky scrapper I have ever watched. For me even to capture that was so difficult, but I have made a try.

We went there via subway and our achievement for the day was we came back alone from there. It was easy though once you understand things because everything is writen in English there.

We also ate Aaloo ke paranthe today which were prepared by Anamika Di, Sheetal Di and Varsha Di. They were yummy and I loved it.

Today Avi bhaiya played Cricket with a few of his new friends. We also enjoyed watching it.

We all have our dinner together alongwith Avinash bhaiya outside the dormitory on thebenches and then we go for an evening walk. But today we got to know some people thought we are family and what was even more bizarre is a boy thought Anamika Di is my mother. 😅

But here it seems like we are learning everything from the beginning. Obviously we have to make a few adjustments but there is not that strangeness I had expected of being in a new country and that's great.

Yeah its different but not so different.

I always keep asking everyone's name and then forget it soon so I have began a new thing today. Whenever I meet a new person and ask their name, I note down the name of the person's name alongwith their country name. Its proving to be really helpful and sometimes we do share our Facebook accounts. I think once we begin with our classes I am going to meet a lot of new people and make a lot of new friends. I am just gonna love it.

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.

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. 😊 ...

Stop Expecting Them To Understand!

Source - Pixabay The advice we empathetically present to our friends is often the same ones we learnt too late, at a cost we wish wasn't so huge. As you tell them that not all has been lost and their worth and what they bring to the table is way beyond the biggest of their dreams and worst of their failings they may have known. Yet in your own shoes, besides all the words you throw around to sooth your heart ache, you often feel defeated and lost beyond despair. You finally woke up but knowing that it probably is already too late doesn't really help your sleep. Nor does it do much to help you get out of bed as suddenly you begin to wake up with the worst of your fears each day. There is so much you know today; you just wish you had garnered enough will yesterday. But, I guess Bob Marley was right when he said, "You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice." © Source: Quotespedia Me being me, I didn't come back to my senses untill all...
