Global Field Trip

The whole trip started at 12am at the Main Gate. Attendance was checked and a group of about 100 students was going to participate. We started to walk through Hoegi and ended up at the station. I have never seen so many foreigners in the subway at the same time, and we were definitely too loud in there.   After two hours we arrived to the station where our camping area was located. A 20 minute walk didn't bother anyone because we were all so excited. We stayed in a big guesthouse that had two big buildings, one for the ladies and one for the gentlemen. Bags were left in our rooms before we gathered in one of the buildings where we were divided into 6 different teams. The teams were named based on the colors of the shirts so here are all the 6 teams: Blue: The Jumping Smurfs, Red: Hot Kimchi, Purple: Super Sexy, Orange: Soju Time, Green: Gaeguri (frog in Korean) and Pink: Pink Attack. I was a part of the blue team. Together with the team we decorated our shirts and we had to come up with a song.

There was a small field outside our guesthouse, a perfect place for outdoor games. We had many laughs about the fact that 50% of our team was from Finland and Sweden. For once, these two countries are friends and we are all on the same team. We played a lot of games and I must say that we had an awesome team with a good team spirit. After the outdoor games we were all hungry and could't wait to get some Korean bbq. Around the table I had time to talk with some new friends from all around the world. That's the thing I like about eating here in Korea, because there is a lot of people from different countries, with different backgrounds, opinions and stories. After the food, we all started to clean up before walking down to the beach. We had a campfire with fireworks, beer and soju. It started to get cold so we went inside to play some more games. The only problem was that people were getting too drunk so it was impossible to keep the groups mouth shut, so it was time to reveal the results. Say what, we actually managed to win the whole thing! All smurfs were jumping in the air singing the smurf song. We won a big bottle of vodka that we shared with our teammates and that's when the party started.

I must say that is was a successful trip and a nice way to spend the weekend. I think there will be a similar field trip next semester and I can't wait for that one! Here is all the pictures, enjoy!

Here we come!

The IFCC Members. What would we be without you?

Jongyoo has a hard time to get attention.

Here is our team - The Jumping Smurfs. We really had a good time while we were kicking some ass!

All had a good time and I must say that it has been a while since I played these kind of outdoor games. 

One of the funniest things with being a part of an exchange group is that everything happens so spontaneously. One person starts to drum on the table and everybody follows, Jongyoo crabs a mic and here is the result. 

Korean BBQ for dinner with beer and soju. 

 The campfire and fireworks were beautiful.
