Cheonggyecheon Lantern Festival

Today I spent most of my day studying Finance. I was hppy and thrilled that I had read and completed atleast one chapte from the book.

In the evening, I went to meet Subee. I really wannted to meet her once before leaving. So, we decided yesterday to see each other in the evening today.

Subee is a University Student, I first met during my Cultural Exchange Program with an NGO group called Youth Goodwill Guide (YGG). Later during the Chuseok holiday, she toured me around Seoul as a guide. That was one of my best days in South Korea. I had an amazing time with her and thats when we actually became friends.

After that we stayed in touch and decided to meet again today. As usual, she had to meet me near a subway station (Jongno - 3 - ga station). When we saw each other, there was a bright smile on both of our faces and we just hugged each other.

We went to the Cheonggyecheon Stream. Luckily, today was the last day of the Seoul Lantern Festival that I could not attend because of my Korean exam.

We looked around the stream while having conversations. All those lights and cartoons were looking very cute and pretty in the night. In the end, I also left a lighted lantern in the stream after writing my wishes on the paper.

I simply love being with Subee because she makes sure I get to see and experience everything I can wherever we are. I still remember how we got along well just the moment we met and she simply made me feel like I was a friend.

Today, she was telling me about her schedule for the weekdays which is so busy and tiring. But she still likes to take the time out on weekends to take foreigners on these tours as a guide all around Seoul. She has also got a job in the Samsung Hospital which she will be joining next year after completing her graduation. I congratulated her and was really happy for her.

After around an hour we left since she had to meet some of her other friends too. When I apologized for disturbing her plans and thanked her for taking the time out for me, she sweetly replied that I am her friend too and it felt good to hear that. Even in the end, when I said goodbye before leaving she simply replied See you.  I don't know why but that just felt nice and sweet.

So just with these sweet moments, my another week ended on a sweet note leaving that wide smile on my smile before I sleep.

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.

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...

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. 😊 ...
