Night out with friends~

Tonight we went out with Maira and some people from my class. Another girl from our school came as well, although we are not in the same class. I just happen to know her because on our very first day, when it was raining, we were both late and lost so we met each other.

As most of us all live in Sinchon, we found a place there to eat and have some drinks. I am really happy that most people in my class are really fun and kind people.

Had so much fun today~

PS: There was a chicken dish that had some olives O_o






Thank you Charles, Emmy, Hannah, Miyuki, Mika and Maira <3

It's been a while since I last posted...

I have been super busy those past few days. Attending lessons daily, which is an achievement if you take under consideration that I am going out every night for drinking with friends.
Last Friday night friends from Greece arrived and we went to have some food and drinks around Hongdae with some Korean friends~

First we went to a bar, whose name we can never say, as it doesn't make sense (it consists of Korean & Japanese alphabet). 

 After we left from the bar, we visited the first place we could get inside, as it was raining cats and dogs that night.
 



Next to our table there was a couple that was pretty drunk. They kept on asking us random questions, half in Korean and half in English. As the woman said on her own, she wanted to "speak Engrish"~~ I really would love to meet those too again, but this time sober haha^^


On Saturday we went for coffee in Sinchon and then for a walk at Hongdae where we saw a parade (we don't have a clue what it was for.. maybe something to do with Dokdo? Because we saw some banners mentioning Dokdo)





Afterwards Julie and myself went to a K-Rock indie concert. The concert took place in Yeouido and it was a bit chilly that evening. And I just fell in love with a band I haven't heard before~ 와이낫? (ynot?) Oh man they were so damn great!!

You HAVE to check them out!!!








There were a lot of good bands playing on that day such as 아이러닉 휴 (Ironic Hue), 노 리스펙트 포 뷰티 (No Respect For Beauty), 마그나 폴 (Magna Fall) but we were sooooo tired from Friday night and we decided to go in the evening while the concert started since noon.

Now I am going to meet Julie and Maira (a sweet girl I met from Holland) so I will post more about Sunday's kpop concert experience later on~~

Finally in Seoul

Yes!! I've finally made it.. Right now I am at my gosiwon, located near Sinchon metro station.
I arrived yesterday afternoon around 17:00 at Incheon airport and headed straight to Sinchon.
My teacher was waiting for me at my gosiwon and after I let my stuff and had a really fast shower, we went to meet a friend of mine in Hongdae.

We had food at the "Greek joy" restaurant in Hongdae, because I had some stuff to deliver there. We were also able to see street performances again~ I really like Hongdae nightlife, although sometimes it can be really loud even for a loud Greek person like myself.


I tried getting some more shots but I am kinda fail when it comes to taking pictures so most of them ended up being blurry... >.< And truth be told, I didn't get many photos last night.. today either. Being in Seoul feels like home and well, you don't take photos of your home all the time, right?

Anyway, after eating at Greek Joy we went for some soju in Hongdae. I am a soju-holic but having slept only for two hours, I didn't get much to drink. And my friend and teacher don't like soju that much. Oh and I keep forgetting the formalities in Korea so now because I didn't serve them alcohol, I won't be able to find a boyfriend for 9 years~~ (can I get a discount? pretty please...?!)



After drinking soju, we walked back towards my gosiwon at Sinchon and went to a noraebang. I think my friend will start hating B2ST (my teacher already does I guess haha~) because I only sang their songs, but hey, they are the only songs I know how to sing in Korean (ok ok.. not 100% but still better than any other Korean song..)


The owners of the noraebang heard me singing in Korean and were impressed (or they were at least being polite lol). Either way I would love to improve my knowledge on the language and of course my pronunciation so I think I will be visiting noraebangs as much as I can since it seems like fun and good practice.

While waiting for the metro to open its doors, we waited for about an hour outside the station and my friend played with his guitar. He loves Spain like I do, so he was playing some Spanish-flamengo style songs. It was so much fun. I really wanted to take a photo of him playing but I didn't want to bother him while he was playing so hopefully next time I will ask him beforehand^^

It was a really fun night and I didn't feel extremely tired but I do admit that I overslept today. I woke up around 15:00 and unpacked my luggage. Then I met with Areia, one of the most known kpop remixers online, and we went shopping together at the supermarket and to get some coffee just like normal Greek people do. We talked about various stuff and it was really fun. But now here I am back at my gosiwon, freezing from the air/condition and missing a pillow and some blankets hehe. I really need to go shopping tomorrow for that stuff.. and for a telephone as well..

So I guess I'll be updating some more tomorrow..

Wish me luck for tomorrow!! Going to a B2ST fansign event... Have to deliver HyunSeung's present!!
