Day 247, 248, 249, 250, 251, 252, 253


I can't believe it's already past 250 days since I've come here, still feels like yesterday though. The semester has passed the half way mark now since it's the mid-term period. Luckily for me I only have 2 xD but one is an essay...
An interesting thing to note here is there are cherry blossoms in Seoul and Korea. This is a surprise because I didn't think they grew here. I'll be heading down near the Han river on the weekend to take a look.

Other than that, there really isn't anything else to write about.

Day 236, 237, 238, 239, 240, 241, 242, 243, 244, 245, 246


Obviously if I haven't written anything for the past week and a half, it means I don't have anything to write or talk about. I did eat Korean style pancake (Pajeon) for dinner last night, and it was really good, not what I had in mind/expected.
Anyway, there's less than 3 months left until I'm back home, thank god. Not to sound bad, but I've already done and experienced the things that I've wanted to here in Korea so there really isn't anything left for me to want to do, coupled with trying to save money and stick to a budget, it doesnt really leave too many choices.

And if there is, I'd rather just come back here during a vacation instead.
