Guess who Geraldine saw after lunch!
Teeheehee. And Geraldine bumped into Seohui-oenni too! At the bookstore in yawoori. Donne, if you are reading this, the following picture was taken for you, as requested by Shinho-oppa.
And Geraldine saw super cute T-money "card" being sold in the bookstore.. If only they weren't so much more expensive than the normal boring card.
Just wanting to catch up with friends instead of rushing around to visit "famous" places like a tourist, Geraldine felt really satisfied doing things like just sitting in a cafe with her friends, taking neoprints (known as sticker photo in Korea or 스사), going for dinner and a game of bowling.
The group took a bus to the campus and Geraldine was shocked to find out that it's a 40 minute bus ride from downtown. Shinho-oppa explained that the parents wanted the school to be in a ulu place so that their kids would study.
When Geraldine reached KUT, she was pleasantly surprised by the VIP-like welcome from her friends. They were so cute to stand by the roadside!
One of Geraldine's favourite Korean food, samgyeopsal (삼겹살).
After dinner exercise..
Supper to replenish the energy lost. The 2nd photo shows Korean-style "co-lo-yok". You know that delicious fried thing that pretends it isn't fried? Otherwise known as sweet and sour pork.
The next day, Geraldine had a sumptious lunch and played squash and table tennis in the afternoon. Wondering why she played so many sports? Because her Korean friends know that she loves sports and they accomodated her. 고마워요!
Thanks to Youngji's senior, Minwoo-oppa, the girls had a crash course for squash. And for dinner, Geraldine had yet another sumptious meal. This time, she tried something most people might not like. Sundaegukbap (순대국밥). No, not sundae as in sundae sold at Macdonalds for SGD1.5 but unknown fillings (to Geraldine) stuffed in pig's large intestines. It was delicious though. Favourite sundaeguk restaurant of KUT students. Geraldine eats everything except insects and worms.
Being tired out by the squash game in the afternoon, Geraldine opted to go back to her buddy, Youngji's dorm to take a shower and a rest before meeting the rest up for a game of pool (known as pocketball in Korea).At the pool palour, it was a surprise for Geraldine to see only a single pool table. The rest are pool tables without any pockets played with just 2 red balls and 2 white balls! Geraldine's friend explained to her that it's a game unique to Japan and Korea. How interesting. Geraldine later on figured out that someone who is good at that game, will be good at pool for sure.
After pool, they all went to a pub-ish place and had some beer. Geraldine hates beer in Singapore, but Korean beer is so smooth she doesn't mind a little. The atmosphere of the place was quite nice and she enjoyed the company of her friends. ^^Thank you to all those who took time out to come and meet Geraldine for a meal or two and send text messages to Youngji to say goodbyes to her, and special thanks to Boram-oenni, Shinho-oppa, Youngji and Eunbi who accompanied her the whole way!
