Pictures of the past week with the new camera. I’m so happy with it! I’m in no way a professional photographer or something but just someone who really likes to take pictures (especially on food hehe xD) so you may … Continue reading
As many as you already know, this is my new baby! Bought it 2 days ago and it’s been following me everywhere since. So, so, so satisfied with it! The best thing about it is that you can take selcas with it since the LCD-screen can turn 180 degrees! I luuurv! So from now on, you guys can expect a lot of photo updates!
I’ve been feeling a little under the weather lately and on the verge of catching a cold and a cold is really the last thing I need right now so yesterday me and Sofia decided to eat something healthy for once (aftereatingalotsofunhealthythings….) and 삼계탕 was the first thing we could think of. So we went to a restaurant that Sofia had looked up, who were supposed to be very famous for it’s Samgyetang and that it was among late President Roh’s favorite restaurants.
Said and done, we went to the restaurant called Tosokchon, located near the Gyeongbokgoong station. Didn’t know what to expect really because neither of us had tasted Samgyetang before but we arrived to a beautiful traditional built restaurant and surprisingly, we were greeted in chinese! Is it because of the many tourists? .__. Don’t know really.
Samgyetang, Ginseng Chicken Soup, is a healthy soup consisting of a whole chicken, stuffed with Korean ginseng and glutinous rice and other herbs and is traditionally eaten during summer to replenish energy and cure sickness because of the healthy nutritions.
It tasted really good and refreshing after all the spicy food that i’ve had since I came to Korea. The chicken was really soft and tender and the ginseng flavour was there but it wasn’t too strong so that was good. However, I don’t know how much you guys are able to eat but the portion was almost enough for two and I literally rolled out from the restaurant after we were done xD. I don’t know if it’s because of the soup but I do really feel a lot better today though, hahah!
How to get here:
Gyeongbokgung Station (Seoul Subway Line 3), Exit 2.
After the exit, you walk straight about 5 minutes or so til you reach a GS25 convenient store. Turn left here and you’ll see the restaurant ^^
So if you have your ways around here or Seoul and want to eat something healthy, do visit this restaurant!
(This post was supposed to be posted on sunday but for some reason it didn’t so all of these things really happened last week xD)
This past weekend has been…effing full of partying! I don’t even recognize myself!! I’m usually the one who parties maybe once a week or less because I prefer staying at home, chilling with the friends, grab a coffee or wine or other activities except clubbing. I mean, it’s fun once in a while to go out and shake your booty and stuff but you can’t really socialize in a club because the music is too freakin loud.
And one thing that i’ve found so disturbing here is that everyone freakin smokes INSIDE the clubs, restaurants and everywhere!! ;__; My clothes and even my underwears (underweaaaars!!!!) have the smell of cigarette smoke when I come home gaaaaaah!! Waaaae?! Besides from that, the clubs i’ve checked out so far are freakin A-W-E-S-O-M-E!! And the guys..!!!! Omg, the guys are just so hot! There’s like eyecandy everywhere!!
Our partyweekend began on thursday when we spontaneously went to a club named Octagon in Gangnam. Sofia had been invited to that event by other friends and she asked me if I wanted to go too. We were a bit hesitant at first since we had Korean class the day after at 9am. But then we were like, what the heck! Let’s go!
Said and done, we went there together with Evelin (who’s also an exchange student from Sweden), all pimped up and had a really good time! The club was so freakin awesome and the interior was really cool and everything was shaped as an octagon, hence the name. It was a party thrown by SKY Events and apparently, Seoul National University had their welcoming party there too (maybe that’s why there were so many hotties there o.o).
Club Octagon
Unfortunately I haven’t had the chance to purchase a good camera yet so it will be borrowed pictures from either Google or other friends until I get one myself ;__;
Then on friday there was a welcoming party for us HUFS students, organized by our student organization. It was quite fun but it ended around midnight so some of us decided to keep on partying in Hongdae. After many ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ we decided to go to M2. I usually don’t really like dancing to electro and house music because the only way you can dance to this kind of music is to jump up and down and like…fist pump…sorta. But it was quite OK actually. I approve, hahaha!
Saturday we met up with lovely Eunji to have beer and food with her friends whom she introduced to us. Hilarious bunch of people!! We sat in a restaurant and had some beer and chicken and talked and just had a really nice time. After that we went to NB in Gangnam, which I’ve heard soo much about from Jainie. How hot all the guys were, how awesomely good the music is and things like that.So I was expecting A LOT from the club haha! Luckily enough, they delivered! The music, gosh! SO GOOD! There was a lot of RnB and Hiphop mixed with a tad electro and KPOP. I absolutely LOVED the music there! It was so crowded though so I couldn’t 
But yeah, that was my weekend xD Imma have to die for a while to load up all the energy that i’ve lost! See ya and keep on Gangnam style-ing!
Getting ready for a night out in a club named Octagon, think it’s in Gangnam or somewhere near there hoho! Heard a lot of good things about this place so I have high expectations! Unfortunately 우리 와이피 (wifey) couldn’t join me and my roommate, Sofia, and classmate Sonia today but she’ll just have to make it up on saturday ’cause we’re going to check out NB (Noise Basement) in Gangnam then!! Exciiited!! Rumor has it that YG Ent. owns the place so the place’s gotta be good! But for now, Octagon will do! Good night everyone!
Music, especially K-POP (since we’re in Korea daaah!), are played loudly from the small stores and bars on the street of Seoul. I think it’s so nice and makes the whole street more vibrant and lively but when different stores have different music at the same time it makes all gaaah!! @_________@ but still, it’s nice, haha!
The week that i’ve been here, PSY’s song 뜨거운 안녕 (Feat. 성시경) has been very popular and is frequently played everywhere! Just yesterday I heard it from a guy on a scooter who had this song blasting on a freakishly high volume from his scooter, making it sound over the whole area! I was like: Why do this song sound so familiar..? And when I came home, this song suddenly popped up on my playlist! Turns out I had this song the whole time when I downloaded his album hahah! And now it’s freakin stuck in my head….-__- Listen and get addicted too!
Another one is the duo Tasty (I know…lame name but supercute guys!!) from the same company as Infinite. They debuted just a few months ago but their debut song, You know me(너 나 알아) has become pretty popular already and the MV is played frequently on TV. The great thing about them is that they’re –88 liners and I can fangirl without being a total pedonoona ehe…hehe…hehehe. Watch the MV and drool with me!
Hey guys!
Sorry for the bad update! I’ve been so busy running around town and exploring that I haven’t had the time to sit by the computer and update that much >.< Mianhada! I promise to update more whenever I have time! *O* But yeah, It’s been exactly a week since I got here now and the classes have started and everything’s going smoothly so far! Came home from the Cultural Anthropology class a while ago which seemed like a very interesting class and gooosh are there many eyecandies here at campus!! *O* okey, okey, gotta focus!!! I’m just waiting for an alien ID card right so I can get a phone because i’ve been soooooo freakin lost without one! I can’t contact anyone when to meet, where to meet, or tell them where I am and no one can reach me….gaaaah!! And I haven’t bought a new camera yet either so that’s why the blog’s poor with pictures. But yeah, this first week has been good and i’ve just been trying to adapt to life here in Seoul and at school.
My Korean classes are held everyday from Mon- Fri 9AM to 1PM and although it’s only the second day, we’ve already received a lot of homework >< So I gotta hurry and do them now and go to sleep. (I wrote the first part right after I came home from school but then I forgot about so it’s already midnight here now xD). My roomie, Sofia, is already fast asleep so I gotta be real quiet and hurry so I can sleep too! *O* untzuntzuntz! Until next time my dear readers! 잘 자~~ ^ㅅ^
My school 😀
