First Cultural Program (Tae Kwon Do & Hanji Arts and Crafts)

  It's me Winny here again. ^_^ Today, July 6, 2016 we went to our first cultural program activity after class. It was Tae Kwon Do, which is Korean Martial Arts, and there was also Hanji Art & Crafts. I made a mirror, well not the actual mirror, but the outside part containing the mirror. After that, we went to dinner together as a group of like 20 people, I think. We were a group of about 30 something people, and so we split into 2 groups. Our group went to eat pork, the other group went to eat spicy rice cakes (tteokbokki).










My Trip(s) to Emart~

  Hi it's me, Winny again! :) I went to Emart a few times in the past 2 weeks that I was here in Korea. I will be in Korea for 2 more weeks. Here are the photos that I took while inside and some of the things that I bought. There is almost everything here, ranging from groceries, to home supplies, and snacks. Some people say that this would be kind of like a Korean version of Walmart. Anyways, I find this place really cool. It is located in the basement area of Lotte Department Store. I also saw a movie theater in the 1st floor that I will go there one day within the next 2 weeks. Plus, it took a while, but I finally understand how Korean Won works here in Korea. If say the item I wanted to buy is 2,500 won. Then it would be two 1,000 won, and one 500 coin. I'd like to summarize it as more of a after the comma, the last 3 digits would be the cents. However, if you are getting something expensive, then I think the last 3 digits after the comma would also be the coins.


















I thought this was so cool! It's a UV Ray that sterilizes cups.
