First day of classes was nothing exiting. All the teachers just gave us the syllabus and told us to leave. I have a huge break from 1-5 so I just went back to the dorm and tried to upload pictures. It failed, I'm pissed. After my Korean Language class (2hrs a day, 4 days a week. 0.0), I went to the other side of KU and just walked around for a bit. There was nothing spectacular, just a couple of restaurants that looked like they would be good. But I can't test that theory out yet b/c I can't order in Korean yet *sigh*
Anyways, I discovered a massive Daiso (like a dollar store but cooler) in Myeongdong and I think I died and went to heaven. Things were so cheap but I had just made myself a budget earlier today and I plan to stick to it so I just bought a binder, a mini camera tripod ($1, that's pretty beast), ginger tea, and a snack. But let me tell you, if I don't so shopping for a week, I'm splurging at Daiso and getting buttloads of cute asian-y stuff! But yeah, I basically had my earphones in the entire day and was listening to happy songs so that made me really happy. Current favorite is Lupin by KARA. It's soooo addictive. I think people were staring at me b/c I basically skipped around Myeongdong because of my good mood. Some of these people need to lighten up some, I've notice a lot of em looked stressed :\
Oh, and I figured out the reason while Koreans are so skinny, they walk...A LOT. Basically, you walk everywhere. Up and down subway stairs (2-3 floors each stop), down streets for long stretches, and up backbreaking hills b/c Seoul is nestled in between mountains so the terrain is quite hilly. After today, after walking for hours on end, I understand how Koreans stay so skinny. But what I don't understand is how the girls can do all this in heels. It's mind-boggling how they fly down subway stairs in 2-4 inch heels so effortlessly. I will learn that art by the end of this trip hopefully. Nothing spectacular happened today, it was just a shopping day. I'll write about more interesting stuff later
