WEEK 2: Event and more events

My 2nd week in SNU is really exciting and productive in the exchange student point of view. I used all my spare time to revise the lectures (I haven't started doing my homework, though) Moreover, I participated in many exciting events this week. Yes, before going for an event, I always have this 'uncomfortableness' kind-of-feeling as the result of me pushing myself out of my comfort-zone. Well, the good thing is that after adapting to the situation, I could alter the situation into my comfort-zone. It's a weird mechanism, but I really happened to me.

First of all, I have to conclude something. Baseball game in Korea was much more exciting than its soccer game, although both offered a very good entertainment. I went to a baseball game last week and to my shock, it was so exciting! I love it loads! There was a cheerleader complete with four dancers in a stage in the middle of the flight of seats. Well, whenever its our team's offensive turn, the air was filled with coordinated cheers from our side. That's a nice experience, seriously. As the result, I really look forward to the day when I can watch MLB with my own eyes. =)

Yeap! I went to hiking as well last week. What so surprising was that the hiking was right after my class. In a life as a normal NUS student, I would rarely consider any kind of outings especially right after my classes. There was a very different kind of environment exposed to our brain, between mind-intensive activities and mind-relaxing activities. OK. I just talked trash just now. Just forget about it. Anyway, the hiking was uber fun! It was a majestic feeling when you reached the summit, greeted by breeze and panoramas. We took around 2 hours for the ascending and descending journey. Not a really long hike compared to Mt. Everest or something like that. HAHA! Anyway, the roads were really rocky. It really made me suffer the frictional force multiple times bigger.

The next event is MT (Membership Training). Please do not comprehend the event name literally. MT was actually the Korean way of saying 'school/campus initiation/camps'. We were subjected to team games, BBQs, alcohols and more alcohols. The venue for our MT was at Gangchon. The cozy, serene and cooling environment really reflected the mood of partying all the way to the morning.

Just check the number of beers they bought. It was just amazing. I am totally beyond words when I saw this. XD I didn't drink much that night, though. Only couple cups of beers and soju. I really felt super dizzy and warm at the same time when I drank them. Anyway, it was a good drinking experience in Korea and I have been enjoying them so far.

Alright, next week will be the Chuseok holiday! I will have a one-week-long holiday =) Current plan is to go to Cheongju and Dannyang to do various outdoor activities =)

peace
