Jeju Day 2

In the morning of the 2nd day, we were awoken by a dog bark and the running footsteps of little children in the pension. This was at the ungodly hour of 7 am. Since we were in Jeju for only a short period, we decided to just get up and start our day. We . . . → Read More: Jeju Day 2

On Friday, we were lucky enough to have a field trip organized by the school to a folk village down south in Andong, about a 4-hour bus ride from Inha.

My dorm and around

I realized that we have not shown you guys pictures of where we are actually living. We share our rooms with 3 other people. We each have our desk, a bed and a closet. It’s enough space if you don’t stay in more than an hour at a time and to sleep. It does . . . → Read More: My dorm and around
