I should have updated this blog way earlier but I'm always too lazy to do it.
Anyway, if you're wondering what happened to day 35. The thing is that the school was supposed to bring us to Buryeong Mud Festival. Although I was scared to get real dirty, I am still excited to go! But we experienced one of the worst downpours that day. And even when we're on the bus and ready to go, the rain did not show any signs of getting smaller. That's when we were informed that the organisers of the Buryeong Mud Festival cancelled the event that day and we will be brought to Lotte World instead. Those who have already been to Lotte World could just claim your subway lunch (again) and go elsewhere yourself. I was really tempted to get off the bus 'cause I was just there 3 days ago and I spent 40,000KRW on the tickets I think. But no one else wanted to leave so fine... I can't do anything myself in this rain too. So refer to my previous post about Lotte World please.
So day 34, we were brought to a folk village in Suwon. It was pouring too but the rain stopped by the time we reached Suwon. Apparently, this is also the filming site for Sungkyunkwan scandal.
We watched how a traditional Korean wedding is carried out in the past. Pretty interesting except that there were almost no seats?!?! We were standing around feeding mosquitoes.
The school arranged us to have bibimbap for lunch at this traditional restaurant. It's pretty good, or maybe I was hungry. One of the few times I finished the entire bowl of bibimbap. Usually bibimbap is too vegetarian for me.
We also had the chance to watch Taekwondo and try it out ourselves.
Jihye Okta and I met for dinner and dessert after that. We always have two rounds on default. I think Jihye loves desserts hahah. I met her on my trip back this time and we had 2 rounds too.
On Day 36, which is the final day of the programme, we have a graduation ceremony. All the TAs have to volunteer a student from their class, preferably non-SKKU students, and Jihye volunteered me! Surprisingly, my morning class TA (who didn't know me and I didn't know too) volunteered me as well!! Urm.... so I was made to go up the stage to represent the cohort along with 19 other students because the 20 of us all got volunteered (and of course me who got volunteered twice).
I really didn't want to but I didn't have a choice. Plus my cap kept dropping everytime I bow to thank the row of professors.
HyoEun then brought us to this restaurant which is supposedly the best in Hyehwa.
I have to talk about the pizza. I didn't know Koreans eat cheese pizza with honey. And it tastes amazingly... good!!! You should try it in Korea!!
After that. We went to Express Bus Terminal Underground for shopping. HyoEun and I bought the same shirt cause we both liked it and the shop owner asked if we were a couple?!?!?!?! She must have thought that we were lesbians or something omg.
We ended the night at the Dragon Hill spa before heading back to our homes/guesthouses on the last train. We almost thought we missed the last train and had to cab back. But turns out that we were at the wrong platform. I will update about my road trip next and some of the places I visited in Korea this time round (which I didn't last year). But it's probably gonna take a while :P
