덕은동

hello all, I have now been in Korea for about 3 days :)
I have been residing in some place called 덕은동 aka "the place near the world cup stadium" to people like myself who are very limited on their korean geography. It's very 시골 like. I think it'll be a lot more different and packed when I start going to Yonsei but anywho it's very small and cozy. Everything is so homey and home-grown, even the drinks are made with home grown stuff and all the meals are stuff from the gardens. My aunt and uncle are very into plants and all that jazz. The whole family's also very silly, especially my 숙모 who likes to have tickle fights :) They have two daughters, who study a lot, but have been very welcoming and taught me cool korean lingo and maybe one korean curse word. Whatever, I don't feel cool or anything HAHAHA. Also, I'm pretty sure my butt bones are bruised because we sit for everything, I'm currently sitting on hardwood as I write this blog entry and every meal is eaten while sitting on the floor so my butt is taking quite a beating. My sleep schedule is also pretty messed up. I've woken up @ 5:00 am, 4:30 am, and 5:30 am the past 3 days and I've been taking crazy long naps too.

enjoyable moments:
-my cousin 우주 picked up one of the books that I brought-- Lolita, and read the first line which was, "Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins" and she goes unnie what's loins? & I was like umm.. it's like.. uhh.. I ended up telling her I didn't know what it was. HAHAHA
-me & my cousins went on an e-mart adventure. E-mart is like a giant combination of H-mart, walmart, petsmart.
-eating samgyupsal on their patio which also is kind of the roof too. So... a roof/patio, yes.


















this bunny was sitting on the other bunny's head :)

Today, me & the grams have a flight to Jejudoh to see my other uncle (mom's little brother) which I'm looking really forward to, there should probably be a lot of cool pictures from there! & there are little ones to see!!!! :) Thank goodness this is only an hour flight. The 14 hour flight to Korea is tortureee. Toodles :)
