2 weeks past, school for me is pretty much stabilized now. Had the 1st meaningful plant breeding class today. apparently genetics can be manoeuvred in many ways to facilitate farming. We jus need to think like a farmer. Fun. No sarcasm intended.
Anyway most of the lecture rooms here are nothin to boast about. Quite a variety of rooms though depending on the modules. Since the format here is different from that in Bs, we actually have to travel around quite alot in campus to reach different locations for our classes.
A brief intro on the geography here; Bascially Korea University is pretty much a rather spaced out campus. In fact it can actually be divided into the Seochang Campus and the Anam campus. Seochang campus is smaller and used mainly for humanities sub. Never been there myself.
Most students like me are at Anam campus, which can further be divided into the Science Campus and the Main Campus. Think North Spine and South Spine in NTU but on a much bigger scale. ie if i walk from the main campus to the science campus, it'll require ard 15-20 minutes admist a couple of streets / traffic junctions and rows and rows of shops and eateries etc . (more pictures soon i hope)
My plant breeding classroom
Break-time
As u can see, being farmers for an hour can be really exhausting... :P
Had a quiet weekend in Korea for a change. Anyway it was raining almost non-stop here in Seoul for the past weekend. Spolit the mood to go anywhere.. Skipped down to est's 5-star dorm to study at the lounge.
The lounge here is superb. Cable TV with soft comfy sofas, then nice clean desks + chairs for self studying. Vending machines nearby. More conference rooms round the corner.
5 stars out of 5!
It was still raining when we went out for dinner. Saw this nice road-side stall that I'm rather keen to try. So the auntie will actually fry some Korean snacks in a hot spicy sauce with lots of delicious rice cakes in it. Coupled with the cold weather now, it's def gonna be heavenly.
Anyway i didnt try it la.. haha (then still describe so vividly lolz)
Because we saw this. Instant street burgers shop tat serves free flow of soft drinks. WOoHOo!
Lots of youths jus cramping in a small shop space with denched rain-coats and folded umbrellas having their fav korean street burgers. Filled with onions, lotsa cabbage and minced beef, the burger is nothin to shout abt. But the environment is real cool. haha. And its cheap too! 1000W onli!
Anyway the weather is really getting cold nowadays. Will nid to start packing myself with more clothes at night. At least i'll recovered from my night coughing le, or else will be even worse.
More to come...
