There's gonna be no theme to this one - try as I might, it's just gonna be a mix of things I did (and ate) last week.
치즈 리면 = Cheese Ramen. This is one case where the sum is way better than it's parts.
The view from the top floor of Arrupe Hall, where I take my culture class at Sogang University.
Michelle and I have been attending a language exchange meetup (where I met my other friends I went biking with before) for a couple of weeks now. Before her first time going there, she wanted to try a restaurant in a hanok, or a traditional korean house, nearby that she had seen on a Korean tv show. It was pretty tasty, different than you can find in a lot of places nearby, but kind of hard to find. I don't even know the name of the restaurant. Oops.
Bibimbap (mix vegetables and rice) with sea squirt (the orange stuff in the big bowl) and various side dishes and soup to the right.
We sat at the table just inside the open window on the right. The hanging thing on the far left is for catching rain, which spills into each descending part so that the water doesn't splash everywhere so much. You can't see much detail, but it had some beautiful carvings.
At that language exchange, we ended up talking with a Korean brother and sister the whole night, and have kept in contact with them. If you're ever in another city or country by yourself and want to meet people, I suggest finding credible groups about a topic you're interested in to join on meetup.com. I've loved it here in Seoul!
In class, we pretended to run stores and sell/buy things, so our cute 선생님 (teacher) made each of us credit cards with our name in Korean. The card number is the starting and ending dates of the program - adorable.
Studying for our first quiz at a dessert cafe in Edae called Pop Container together with my classmate Sarah.
You know I'm excited about some Oreo Bingsoo! Why? Because...
...just look at that. It's majestic.
We sat in big beanbag chairs and looked at all the crazy art on all the walls. Last year, it seemed only good-looking guys worked here (which makes sense, since Ehwa Women's University is close by), but this year I saw one lady working in the back.
I took some of my classmates to the Cheese Rice (치즈 밥) restaurant behind Sogang University for our lunch break one day. Before...
...and after! This one was Curry Short Rib cheese rice.
Marianne (Singapore), Kinga (Poland), Manon (France), Chin Ping (Singapore), Sarah (U.S.), and last, but not least...
Carrie (U.S.), who did not want her picture taken...sorry, it had to be done.
When walking back from the metro station behind the university, I pass by the back of the building where my language classes are. This year, I've noticed a light show on the stairs every night.
It's just curious to me because you can only see it on these little side streets behind the building, you can't see it from the campus unless you go into the building. You're a strange little campus, Sogang.

Looks like you are having so much fun with your friends and getting to try even more different foods than last year! Are you sure that you have enough time to study? (Just kidding).
Must.. try .. cheese .. rice.
Must.
How did you post the scent with the picture? I can nearly taste it.
That Cheese Ramen looks soooo good! Then I saw the cheesy rice and that looks so good too! Oh, but then I decided I could eat both of them and then right after have enough room for that Oreo tower! You are going to have to learn how to make all of those for us when you get back!
