Waking up in Korea

Hello blog readers,

On Sunday, February 21 I woke up in Korea, my first morning confirming it was no a dream. I woke up pretty excited and pretty early due to the 12 hour time difference. I unpacked my things and found out that my laptop had a three pronged plug and my converter could only plug in two pronged plugs. I was really upset at myself. 

So I asked Nicki if she wanted to walked down the dormitory hill to find a converter, get some breakfast, explore. We happened by a small coffee shop. We chatted and learn about each other. Unfortunately we were still hungry. So we explored a bit walking through the alleys. We found Dak Galbi place. It was so cute and the food is great. It is one of my favorite places.   

         

After breakfast/lunch we search around more for the adapter with no luck. We went to Daiso, GS25 and even the local stationary stores but nothing. Kind of giving up we decided to walk down to the campus to look for Incheon hall, the location of Orientation tomorrow. After we found it we run back home because the wind was freezing cold. Before we went in we stopped by a small convenience store, it wasn't GS25. What do you know we found it, more like Nicki found it. I was ecstatic.  

When we went home we chatted and then our third roommate Margaret, came in. Our other room Cynthia had church so we didn't get to chat with her much. We talked for hours talking about ourselves, Korea and before we knew it, it was like 9 pm. Starved we decided to get something to eat. On the way down the hill we meet some other international student and they joined us. There were six of us and we got a huge meal for about 12 dollars. It was great and delicious. Since it is tradition to drink or have dessert after a meal. We decided to go to a Noraebang, or karaoke room to sing and drink soju. My first time drinking soju not the best, tasted like acetone. (It grew on me later) It was fun. Although we could only since American songs, we played and before long we went home.
