Everyday Fight against Korean food

2009.2.29

Korean food, it may be the stronget enemy for my Korean life.

Very good. Korean food has various of face, not only spicy. Tonight, I ate 짜장면with my friends from Ameria(Scott and Malie) and I was surprised at this taste. NOT SPICY. Before I went to Korea, I have confirmly thought that I cannot eat Korean food so much because it is very hot(I'm not goot at spicy food). However, once I carried my chopsticks to mouth, my hope broke.

And more, every food is very good although it is so spicy that much of sweat spread off my face. I feel delicious even it is very hot. Actually Iam so fat. I have to fight against its delicious "enemy"...

Anyway, today was still no-class day so I went to Ulsan big park and took a lot of photo. There are many sight seeing in a city and around Ulsan. And its park is one of the biggest sight seeing place in a city. And other places, for example, there is a big soccer stadium that was used in Soccer world cup in 2002. Someday I will go there and I hered that it will be a game with Japanese soccer team(Nagoya). And today was also talked in English a lot. I wish my skills became up...

Arrived at Ulsan

2009.3.28

2009.3.25, I arrived at Ulsan. It was the first time for me to go to Korea and also go abroard for study. In a early morning, by a ferry, I stood on Busan ground. As soon as I came, Ulsan students picked me up and lead me to the way of Ulsan. Beyond my thought to usual Koreran student, they could speak English, so firstly I was very in peace, calm down Well communicated with them, but mostly talking in English but less of speaking in Korea... Anyway, my first experience was good. 

Next day, I met all of international students from this semester. Of course there are more than 10 people from Japan, but also many country' s student came to Ulsan.And also every student has unique character. Pam who is from Canada can speak Chinese very well because of her major, but she was decided to go to Ulsan for studying Korea. Actually, surprisingly she already takes class for 4th year student though she is 2nd year student. She is friendly and smart. And Julie, from US, has already two activity. One is normally to study in a University, and other is to teach English to elementary school student. She said it was a official proglam between US and South Korea. In fact, She's major is music, playing the piano. And also some of Japanese student has unique thinkings and experiences. Everything gives me stumilus. Next my curiousity goes to a student from Egypt. It was the first time for me to meet Egyptian. He can speak English fluently. I am now alway seeking the occation to talk with him.

Anyway, today I was so relax that the class will be coming next week. I can spend time on feeling about Ulsan's atmosphere.

First Diary

2009.2.17

This blog is for my exchange-life to University of Ulsan,Korea. Mainly, to build up my English skills(so many miss spelling will be shown in this blog...) and to write down my K-life.

Now, 2009.2.17, pm 16:00. The time when I go abroad remains more 9 days. I mostly spend time on being with my friend, not so many time for trip preparation.

  Writing this blog makes me situmilate in 3 points. First, I can controll my daily life. In my usual days, I rerely feed back on my behavior. This is one of my bad aspect because I often make same mistake again and again. I wish I could improve my skills...

Second is about a photo. I will update my photo in every diary. It ofcourse will be a good memory in the future. And third, I will show my thought through this. I will show not only things what I feel, experience, get in daily Korea life but what I study and how I feel about a lot of news. In this exchange proglam, I try to keep expressing my thought about everything by using all of my knowledge. 

A lot of fashionated impact will attack to me in Korea. Feeling these impact, I wanna always show myself that, " I am here."

I don't wanna run away anymore.

It is the time to face to myself.
