Becoming A Korean


After everything is settled down, jet lag seems to be my biggest problem for now. The international orientation and campus tour were full of Korean cultural elements, but time difference made me suffered. I made a few new friends at the lunch and the individual activity. Some Korean students at SKKU are not fluent in English, but I am glad they put up with my limited Korean skill. Someone even told me my Korean was the best among all of the foreign students. I was flattered. Even more interestingly, an old man passing by my friends and me said my English was great while he thought I was a native Korean. Flatteries! I think I have become very Korean. Of course, my Asian eyes are really convincing. Kim bap (Korean sushi) here is really cheap and tasty. Kal bi (barbecue ribs and pork) is expensive per se but reasonable. There are so many noodle soup restaurants near my dorm, and I will give it a try in the next few days despite the fact that I am not a big fan of Korean noodles. I am so tired and sleepy now. Yawn…'
