My Piece for the day

Finally I got my first perfect score in a Korean test. We learnt about the dates and times in Korean. I also have to revise countings for my test tomorrow. There is gonna be so many of our memories from the Korean class itself. I think I am improving and I am feeling great about it. Today we did went to see things but there were some gaming competitions and food stalls in the ground. Since there wasn't much to do or see, we came back after sometime. But all of us (especially the foreign students) are really excited about tomorrow's main event. Talking of the food stalls it was really nice and there were a lot of people were having fun but I cannot personally eat a lot of things and then it was expensive and we want to enjoy it tomorrow when all of us would be together. I also saw a Korean movie Baby and me after dinner. It was the first Korean movie I have actually watched entirely since I don't watch a lot of movies. It was nice. Honestly I have tried watching Korea

Date - 26/09/2017 Today it was just a usual day but I was finally very happy with the way I spent my day. I woke up a little early today and went for the morning walk. There was so much of my blog posts that were pending so I posted a little in the evening yesterday and completed my posts on the Cultural Exchange Program today in the morning. Since there wasn't nothing really important that had happened on the last two days so I skipped it and wanted to start afresh from today. In the Strategy Management class we got a treat from our Professor for keeping perfect attendance and good response in the class. She was very generous and we were definitely very happy about it.😁😁 Gachon Festival started today. It is the annual fest of Gachon University that continues for three days. Major event for the day was Taekwandoo Show from 17:00 - 19:00. Our class finishes at six so we couldn't see the entire thing but we saw a part of it while coming back to our dormitory. We were impre

Date - 23/09/2017 Today, I felt so good when I entered that room. We were greeted by the Youth Goodwill Guide Staff from Hi Seoul Youth Hostel. They were so cheerful and friendly you can feel tje positive vibes in the place as soon as you enter the place. Hi Seoul Youth Hostel is an organisation that provides foreign students in Korea with free tour guides and organise programs for them to let them know more about the Korean Culture and traditions. Youth Goodwill Guide is a group of University and high school students who volunteer for helping the foreign students and organise such cultural programs. I think it is so inspiring when kids of our age are volunteering and giving their weekends to foreiggn students like us. We were divided into four teams and began with the general introduction with our team. We were four girls in my team. Two of them were from Indonesia Amanda and Mita and Julie who is a native Korean. Julie is a young volunteer in Youth Goodwill Guide. The name of ou

Date - 23/09/2017 All of us were asked to prepare a speech about our country's culture and national holidays beforehand. So in the last segment of the Program, we sat with our other friends from our countries,  discussed and gave some informal presentations about our cultures. We were around 25 people in the room. There were Korean volunteers, some participants from Indonesia and three students from Singapore alongwith the five of us. Indonesian students talked about their Independence Day and Labaran. These are two of the major national holidays. Flag hoisting is the main event on Independence day and they organise games like Sack race, etc for the children throughout the country. In Singapore there are four races and all of them celebrate their own festivals. But the major three groups are Chinese, Malays and Indians. They were Chinese so they told us about the Chinese New Year and other Chinese festivals they celebrate in Singapore. Indians in Singapore also celebrate Diwali.

Date - 23/09/2017 Today we went to Hi Seoul Youth Hostel. We woke up a little late as it was a Saturday. We quickly got ready, had our breakfast and left in the subway for Yeongdeungpo-gu Office. We reached there in around 1 hour but then we weren't sure how to reach the Venue from the station. We had searched and also saved the Screenshot for the way but we got confused as we had to go on foot ahead and we were standing clueless on that street. Since we don't have a Korean Sim right now, none of us even had an Internet Connection. When you are already getting late and you have lost your way not a great feeling. If being in a foreign country counts you can add that too. But when you are with your friends worry is not even the last thing on your mind. We were rather laughing at our situation and simply tried to find the way together. We asked a few people, some could not understand our language so we tried showing them the address on the phone but some people just didn't

Date - 22/09/2017 Today we went to the Seoul South Korea Immigration Office for our Alien Card Registrations with our mentor. The Korean class had already been cancelled because our Teacher had a meeting in the evening. But today all of us were tired so we ate outside in an Indian restaurant tonight.

Date - 22/09/2017 Today we tried Gimbap for the first time. It is a famous Korean Vegetarian dish. In Korean Gim means Seaweed and Bap means rice. The leaf is placed in round shape and filled with a layer of cooked rice and the innermost part is filled with sliced vegetables. For me Korean food is like when I have my first bite, I love it but then I feel it tastes a little weird. Korean food is strange and strangely delicious but I just can not complete a single dish alone. I am still trying to develop a taste for the Korean food. I can be really picky when it comes to food but here I don't want to miss out any chance to try any of the Vegetarian Korean dishes available.  😉😊😊😊😊
