First night out

After a long introduction day I went home to my dorm. So tired after all the information they have tried to get into our heads today. But I only got two hours at home before I had to be at the main gate again for dinner. We went to a place, that I don´t know the name of since it was only written in korean, and had some korean barbeque.

Our two buddies Trisha, Gyumi and the a few exchange students from all around the world.

This is probably how my meals will look like for a year or so. I have learned a bit about the korean etiquette, for example that the cups or plates are not supposed to take away from the table. You will only use your chopsticks and eat directly from your cup. They also give you a spoon, so you can enjoy the soups. Unfortunately there is no other option than the chopsticks. Me and Benjamin from France were laughing cause we had a hard time with this. Lucky us, we will both stay for two semesters and at least I´m getting better at using the chopsticks all the time so it won't be a problem. I like how fresh the korean food is. We always prepare it together, socialize and drink until the meat is done. I think this is a good way to hang out and get to know each other. This is absolutely something that is missing in Finland. On the table you see some different kind of onion, hot sauces, Kimchi (a traditional korean dish), egg soup, the korean beef and much more. 

Marlena, Ludo and Nicole are practicing the typical korean pose!

     

Me and my buddy Gyumi at dinner! We have had so much fun and I like this girl a lot! 

So, on the right side picture you see the korean vodka Soju. Here in Korea they use Soju in drinks but also in beer. I tasted it, and I have to admit that Soju is definitely not my thing. I might get used to it but lets see. Also, the alcohol in the clubs are very cheap. Less than an euro for a shot of Soju for example.

ICE CREAM TIME! After our delicious dinner we bought some ice cream. I ate some korean melon ice cream and it tasted like bubblegum! And again, the korean pose!

     

The Soul Club&Pub was the place where the party was held. Me and Ludo are posing in the disco lights!

Me and Trisha in the club! Team Trisha, yeah buddy! She is so sweet!

 Since we started the party already at 9pm, I was too tired at 12pm already, so I decided to go home. When I was walking home from the club, I recognized all the lightning in the city. It looks so beautiful! I also managed to get home before the dormitory closed at 1am. Good job Meri!
