Partiglots

La gente aqui es muy amable, ayer mi TA me llevo a conocer algunos lugares y a cenar y luego a conocer a su 'english presentation group', esta gente en Korea si esta en las pilas, todo el mundo pensando todo el dia en superarse, aprender idiomas, cultura, habilidades tecnicas, etc... ayer fuimos a una libreria a las 8pm y estaba llena como si fuera disney world...


Everything is well, just as I finished unpacking they gave me a bigger room, I moved yesterday afternoon, still jetlagged, despite sleeping a lot on first day and staying out last night past eleven... I was falling asleep in a cofeehouse with my TA.. we were in a business district full of trendy restaurants, karaoke and language schools, public offices and corporate offices, and his 'english presentation group' it was a great chance to meet real everyday young Koreans, just going about their daily routines of self improvement. They meet twice weekly to practice their english skills fot 2 hours, first two members present a light topic and then there is a group discussion about a current topic the topic yesterday was changed to social drinking as a Korean tradition.. it was for my beneffit and we had a really pleasant exchange. Of course, these young Koreans can share around a table of iced coffees, instead of alcohol, which is a change that was part of the conversation.

este es un lugar a la orilla del lago donde la gente viene a tomar cafe, que lo sirve una maquina por 20 centavos, ese cafe es el unico que le gana un mercado local a nescafe, segun me dice Sangduk, mi asistente (TA).

cerca de la U hay estas callecitas con tiendas pequenias y precios razonables, son muy peatonales las calles, pero tambien entran motos y algunos carros. Posted by Hello
