Been a long time since I last wrote! It's been a busy few weeks here during and after the midterms.
I've eaten a lot of good food & studied a lot in different cafés. I like studying there since it's quite common in Korea and I feel like I am more productive there than just at the dorm lobby or room. They also have nice atmospheres :)
Halloween here was super fun! We were at a big "haunted factory" party organized by Global Seoulmates, I like that name haha :D We decided to go with a purge-theme, even though our outfits turned out to be kind of diy, quick versions. Everyone at the party had really put effort on their costumes and we, for example, saw a Hillary, a Deadpool, another purge-group and many Harley Quinns.
Right after my last midterm last Wednesday we decided to visit Ewha Womans University area in the evening with Zarah and Sanni. The campus itself was really beautiful, putting our Cau campus to shame a bit I think. We ate at the Two meals restaurant we found there and did a bit of shopping, I bought a shirt, a knit and a winter jacket there since it's starting to get colder here now. I love the color of the jacket!
We also had a "social gathering" last Friday in one class where we had to prepare a costume and theme for our group (ours was rainbow) and make our own business cards. The meeting itself turned out to be having chicken & beer at a restaurant with our whole big class!
I think two of the best ways to explore a city are riding a bus in it, and taking long walks where you just wander without really a certain destination. We've been doing both here and, for example, one evening during midterms me and Zarah went for a short evening walk that turned out to be a 10km walk to Apgujeong. And last week when I felt a bit stressed because of my last exams, I went for a walk and found new areas I don't think I would have gone to otherwise. It's good that there are subway stations everywhere and after walking around you can just take a subway back, which is exactly what we've done! :)
Aand this weekend we had a second culture trip organized by our school to a traditional Korean village where we got to pick pears from trees, ride a tractor, and make Korean traditional toys and rice cakes.
So there you have it, kind of a quick recap of what life in Seoul has looked like the last couple of weeks! :)
