Today, Nobel Peace Prize winner George F. Smoot gave a talk at EWHA. He received his title for Physics in 2006. I can't really write too much about the lecture, because to be honest, I didn't understand a lot of it. My knowledge in physics is minimal at BEST! haha But basically his findings proved the Big Bang theory correct. Also Einsteins theory that the Universe isn't expanding to be wrong, that the universe is expanding. It was pretty cool though to hear a Nobel Peace Prize winner speak so it deserved an entry. I only wish I had something more intelligible to say about the subject. ... read more

I thought I would write a second post about my weekend, since I didn't really do that much. I was so sick and having the food poisoning at the beginning of the week just exhausted my body, and if there's one thing I know about myself it's that proper rest and TLC is the only way I feel better. On Saturday I woke up feeling like I had glass shards in my throat but I had planned on meeting up with Quan, my friend from university who has been living here teaching for the past year. I was really looking forward to it so we planned to meet at 3 at Sincheon station. As I walked up the steps in Sincheon station I saw Quan's familiar face, I was so happy to see someone I know ... read more

노래 방 means a Karaoke Bar. it wasn't at all what i was expecting. When I think of a karaoke Bar I think of something like in my best friend's wedding. You go to a bar get a table and some drinks and take turns volunteering your friends to humiliate themselves singing in front of strangers. In Korea, it is not like what. We walked into a very fancy place and rented the room for 30,000KW for the hour (that also covered unlimited ice cream which is why I liked it) You literally go to a small room with a big long couch and the group that you go with sings all the songs they want for an hour. The part I think i hated the most was when you get there, you aren't allowed to ... read more

Hi, today I slept after I went on the airplane,then watch 101dalmations,when the kiddies meal which insists of kit-kat,troblerone,fruits,orange juice,macceronie cheese with tomato sauce too,arrived at my seat.Oh and hagendaze ice-cream which everyone had was certainly what I liked most of the flight to Hong Kong. I went to Hong Kong and waited for the next airplane to Korea.I ate fish fillet,peas,potatoes,vegetable , wholemeal bread and pudding while watching'Wall-E' on the airplane to Korea . Whoa we finally reached Korea ,specifically Seoul.I had to change into longjohn,jacket and wear a thick hat.We had to take MRT of three different lines before we could reach our destination,the hotel,'Casaville'in Sincheon. Daddy and I waited at the lobby while my mother and sister went to the 15th floor to check-in.Later on,after what seemed like eternity,my sister brought us ... read more

Hi guys, So last weekend was a holiday here in Korea, making it a beautiful long weekend and the last one till Christmas ☹. It was our friend Danny’s birthday, and he wanted to celebrate it in Seoul. Like us, Danny lives in a small town so he wanted to have his birthday with our crew from Orientation and not just him and the other foreigner in his town (I’m kidding…sort of, its probably more like four foreigners). So the plan was to go to Incheon on Thursday night, where our friends from orientation live. I thought Incheon was right next to Seoul, and it is on a map, but as we found out it takes about an hour and a half to go from Seoul to Incheon. We were fortunate enough to have to go ... read more
