Reminisce: Korean EpisodeS...part 1

dis yr is my last yr of school n i decide to dedicate sumthing to Korea in general. It was my choice of studying Korean in my final yr that actually made my best yr in UBC. So lets backtrack ppl...how it all started

THE TRIP
so last yr summer i went to korea unwillingly actually cos i wanted to go to Japan...but it was wen i came back that i started to learn korean. Going to Korea fascinated me as i went w/ no knowledge of it wutsoever cept for kimchi n bbq hehe. The fad at dat time was always Japan dis n Japan dat. So wen i went there, i notice a couple things:

1. it was really similar to Taiwan in terms of environment n building structures. Even their palaces was i think designed under the imitation of Chinese's

2. then i notice da girls actually haha... the % u would hit a nice looking girl on da street was like 70%. . couldn't snap pics of ppl on da street so dis was da closest i could get haha. Pic at Everland (similar to Playland)... ya i actually took da pics cos of the girlz hahaha evilness...gotta look close thou u pervertz

3. da cool fashion. Korean's distinctively had their own fashion n style, n it was a shame that throughout Asia we cannot find Korea clothing. Maybe they are not willin 2 export their stuff? But ya, we cannot find Korean clothing anywhere cept Korea. Believe me, the "Korean" clothing u find in Canada is so NOT KOREAN, they have much fancier n good qual. stuff!

4. Then of couse of da food n ppl. I now know there was more to kimchi n bbq haha. GINSENG CHICKEN SOUP is da thang man!! Koreans actually on avg spoke better engl than Japanese n they were generally quite nice to tourists. Koreans also luv their country n i do mean LOVE

famous ginseng chicken soup franchise

their Korean pride forever, viva world cup!

5. n of course, it was hella fun!! very cute country indeed but too short of a trip. N i luv their airport sooooo much, prettiness

DA DILEMMA
So...upon on arriving to Canada i was truly interested in Korea. Then i had a dilemma whether to take forensic psych or korean. Many ppl told me not to take Korean...
one said it was not useful
2nd it had nothing to do with my major
3rd was too "old" to learn a new language. -_____-''

But being a hard headed me~ i ignored everyone n took it, n i was glad i did! But at first i was really intimidated cos it turns out da "younger" students picked up faster than me n da teacher was going hyper fast...i wanted to drop da course but i changed my mind until i met my first 2 korean friends in psych class. They told me i could ask them 4 help :) I hate da textbook thou!!!

EXPOSURE
so i dunno if it was da korean trend or me lookin into korea more... i got in touch w/ lots more korean music, drama n ent more than i ever did. But i guess it's both. The Korea trend hit crazily in da 05 yr. The only Korean artist i knew before was only Boa but technically through her Japanese career. But now i got in touch w/ Boa's korean career n also Rain, Lee Hyori, Daniel Henney...dramas, u name it. I was a freak! Rain n Daniel Henney was such a nice discovery hehe...



to be con't....stay tune boyz n girlz
