Some good 'ol Kimchi (con queso?)...

Samgyubsal, which are pork slices made for grilling.

An old fashioned octopus leg. Definitely dinner tomorrow night.


And Bulgolgi with a raw egg on top (using my new lens!)

Food has been delicious.

pc 방

It's 5:21 am and I am not sleeping in my dorm. Depsite how bad I want to be in my bed, I am currently in a dirty, smoky internet cafe waiting for the subway to open. I was at a coffee shop late with a friend (in fact, it was the most expensive coffee shop I have ever been to in my life. Talk about a $12 cup of coffee!) and I accidentally missed the last train, which was slightly before midnight. One would think that the subway would stay open later on a Friday night... It came as a shock to me when I looked at my money clip to only discover that I did not have enough for a cab back. The ATMs in Korea rejected my Bank of America card because the ATMs only allow 4 digit pins, and mine is 6 digits.

So I thought to myself, totally not a problem! I'll just camp out at a PC Bang (Internet cafe)!!! And it's not bad at all. I have this sticky keyboard all to myself, and I managed to nap on my leather executive chair! I got a game of WarCraft 3 in as well. Lost. Oh, and the internet cafe is out of hot water therefore I can't buy any ramen!! I had to settle for this creepy hot dog bun and a banana milk (바나나맛우유)

Only fifteen more minutes left before the first train! I'm excited to go home.

i'm shakin'


Baskin Robbins in Korea. It's a sit down restaurant! And one of their flavors is (still) 'My Mom is An Alien,' as pictured here:

my room



















OK I have no idea how blogger works. Anyways, from left to right: my desk and bookshelf, my Asian entrance, my bathroom and roommate's desk, my sink and shower (we don't use it because water goes everywhere and it's just easier to use the public showers down the hall), my glass elevator (super cool!), kitchenette and balcony, my keypad lock to my room, and finally my bed with Guido! There's also a balcony that I don't know how to access next to my bed. I'll figure it out one day.

Woke up at 7 am again. I am having a tough time sleeping. If you want the feeling of sleeping on a flat rock, then my room is definitely the place to be. Not to mention if you've ever wanted to sleep on top of a tortoise shell, then let me introduce to you my pillow.

I 'hit up' the gym again downstairs. They don't have much in terms of weights, just four machines which exercise random muscles. No bars to do dips, so I managed to create one from these really heavy beams. Pictures to come later.

Hunger called, and when I tried gathering some people to get breakfast with me, everyone was asleep. Their loss! I did some exploration on my own and here are some pictures. From left to right: a street near the campus, my awkward Bulgogi Burger, my drinks (notice the Let's Be coffee), and the Campus Center (coolest looking thing ever).
