Day 2 in Korea












Countdown: 113 days to go.

You know, it is not very good to have a room mate that wakes up early and then keep asking you "hey are you okay?" because he just disrupted my beautiful sleep 3 times & I mean I can't blame him because he is a Mongolian so he is pretty in order. Anything that falls out of place, he will just go bersek. For me, not having breakfast and probably skipping lunch is okie, but to him, every meal is important. It is only day number 2. I am starting to feel a little annoyed.

Anyway, I finally dragged myself off the bed @ 2:30pm (slept @ 10:30pm last night), washed up and took a bus to school (because I can only take a bus from school to town). I happen to meet a Korean student, who is in charge of international students and his name is Howard. Apparently, we are taking the same bus, so I chatted with him abit to find out more about life in Daejeon. The night life here isn't the most fantastic of all. The eateries are not 24 hours, so it pretty much sucks. You have a certain time to eat your lunch and dinner here as well. Their lunch is from 12:30pm to 2:30pm and their dinner is from 6pm to 8pm. After that, you just gotta source your own food.

My roomie was with me as we made our way downtown. He totally got no clue about anything and relied heavily on me so it forces me to take on a little more responsibility. He isn't irritating, but he irritates me alot (unintentionally). I guess those who interacts with me in Singapore must be rejoicing at the fact that I am getting my own medicine now. Seriously, it ain't funny and I am trying hard to be a big brother to him. Anyway, we made our way to E Mart, this super huge supermarket like GIANTS, Sheng Siong, NTUC in Singapore. They got 3 levels - 1st floor for all the foodies, 2nd floor for home and furnishing and 3rd floor for all the fashion stuffs.

Oh yah, they have got POPEYE and MAC in E Mart. I had POPEYE for dinner and it rocked!! The price is roughly the same in Singapore, but the Macdonalds is way cheaper by like 50 cents and above. YAHOO!! Seriously, my roomie isn't much of a shopper, so he is always giving me the "sian" look.

So in the end, we shopped for 30 minutes before we made our way back to school. The next time, I am gonna go out shopping alone because I think there is this decent shopping centre right across the bus stop where we took from town and it has a cinema in it!! Yay~

Anyway, I am going off right now cuz the bus is scheduled to come pick us back to the dormitory @ 8pm (7pm Singapore time). Take care people.

I will post up the photos once I am done uploading them to my comp. See ya'll and have a great weekend!!
