Home sweet home, Korea :)

Time goes by so fast. Soon it's going to be October and I feel like I just arrived to this country. Life has been so hectic :)

During the past month I've experienced so much, that it's hard to wrap my mind around it. I've sweat in crowded clubs, relaxed in jimjilbang, admired the Sea of Japan in the night time in Busan, tasted chewy raw fish, had mind-blowing conversations with my new friends, lost my soul in Seoul and more :)

Maybe the best thing during my stay in this country has been our Chuseok-holiday trip to Busan and Seoul. It is said that traveling removes prejudice and I totally agree. I've never been this open to trying new things in my whole life and I've never felt more relaxed than now. There's something about this country that makes me forget my worries and appreciate life as it is.

Cutie cute umbrellas

First week in Daegu is over, on one hand finally and the other already. Weekdays have been really hectic and full of all kinds of hazzling. From choosing courses to getting internet all the everyday stuff has been complicated. Things really work differently than in Finland. Despite of all the hazzle I've settled down very well to the campus life. It feels like home here :) I've met some really amazing people!

The past week's theme was cutie cute. Everywhere you go, there is always something cute: cute little unnecessary stuff, cute clothes and all the korean girls look really cute, I'm so jealous :) The best purchase I've made so far is sun umbrella, and it's soooooo cute. I'm starting to think that by december I've transfered from cynical scandinavian to all cute, over energetic happy person :) So you guys back at home, prepare yourselves!

Keimyung campus is really beautiful! It's nice to be surrounded by nature in a big city. Now the area is green, but I can't wait the autumn and the change of colours. Of course I'm looking forward to autumn for another reason: It's so hot! Daegu is the hottest city in Korea and it's been sunny all week :)

After the drop and add period the classes are starting with full speed today. We'll see how well I'll adapt to the korean way in studying ;)

For some reason, I haven't been able to download any photos to the blog :( I hope that some day I'll be able to do it!
