It’s 8:32pm and I’ve been inside the dorms for the past two days. For some reason I think I write letters and blog posts when I’m supposed to be doing a paper. haha. My roommate is sleeping right now, but she’s been kind of sick lately. Usually she sleeps around 2am though. Next week is finals week over here at Yonsei and I have a bunch of papers due, but in general it’s not very stressful. I think this is the first Christmas away from home and it was somewhat on purpose because I wanted to experience it in a different country, but I’m not sure if it is really worth it. I think it’ll be okay though. Christmas in Korea is not really a family affair, but more akin to Valentines day. Actually I think every holiday is a couples day except for Chuseok. haha.
Over the weekend Jessica, Christine, and I went to Jeonju via the Visit Korea bus, which was awesome as usual. I’ve used the Visit Korea bus for all three destinations and the guy in charge of the bus recognized us. haha. I’ve been traveling alot with Jessica and I think she’s a great person to travel with. I’ve had some problems with other people in the past, so it’s really comfortable traveling with Jessica even in rough situations. haha. At the same time, we never encountered anything particularly hard, so I can’t say that is totally true.
Jeonju is known for its bibimbap/비빔밥 so we just ate 비빔밥 the whole time, though it was a little expensive. It was good nonetheless. I could eat 비빔밥 for a week straight before getting sick of it. Jeonju seems to be also known for Hanji or Korean paper and so we went to a hanji museum. We also went to Dukjin park and the hanok village. They even had hanji ties, shirts and socks. It was kind of expensive though so I didn’t buy that many. there are so many socks in korea… the land of socks. hahaha…
Recently I had some fellowship time with my bible study, which was kind of sad and then a final dinner with the college fellowship that I have been attending. It was alot of food, but so good.
