1st week in Seoul!
Hello everyone!I have successfully landed in Seoul (the flight went well tho I didn't manage to sleep much) and now the 1st week in Seoul is coming to it's end. And the 1st week in Seoul has been a very nice one indeed!
I have slept well, managed to almost get over jet lag (or completely I'm not 100% sure), learned how to use the subway (I did get lost once tho hehehe), met my two friends who're here too at the moment, eaten good food, shopped, and managed to get lost twice, once in a shopping mall (they're HUGE here) and once when I was going to my level test for Metro Korean Academy. I suspect more cases to happen in the future, this is a new city for me after all, and Seoul is huge. And hot! It's been 28 and 30 degrees of Celcius every single day, and it will be around the same next week too. Not bad, except I don't have airconditioning in my room...
I have not been to any turist spots, yet, and I'm going to start going to those either tomorrow or Thursday next week. And I'll most likely spend days while going through them all, there're so many of them! And riding the subway takes time, tho it is the easiest and cheapest way to move around Seoul, since one ticket costs about 1 euro. Cheap compared to Oulu's prices huh?
There's also no sign of a culture shock happening to me soon, although I do suspect it'll happen at one point. But maybe I've been too tired for it, or I've studied enough of Korean culture to avoid it. But that remains to be seen.
To be honest, I didn't remember to take many pics this week, but hopefully next week I do! But here are the pics from this week~
Coffeetime with Eki in Hello Kitty Coffee (don't judge me, I had to see it) |
Very tasty dumplings ♥ |
The best strawberry smoothie I have ever tasted! |
Korean chicken! Very good! |
I've eaten this twice now, it's good! |
My best friend in my non-airconditioned room |
My very tiny room that doesn't need much, except that airconditioning |
Body lotion and makeup remover tissues from Nature Republic ('cause I forgot my makeup remover home...) |
Elbow mask from Etude House, I wanted to try it since I have really dry elbows |
Concealer brush from Etude House, I needed one! |
Samples I got from Etude House and Nature Republic! |
A street in Myungdong at 8 am on Sunday. It wasn't quiet anymore after couple of hours! |
Dry shampoo which I found had Finnish text in it! Made me laugh, it was so unexpected |
I'll move to my dormitory room next Wednesday, so I'll post lots of pics of the room and the school next week! Bye until then~
P.S. My instagram still has daily updates, tho they might not be very informative (sorry about that).
PP.S. If the pictures appear blurry, just click them and you'll see HQ full pic. Blogspot is being annoying with them.
