짜장면 (Jjajangmyeon)

As both of us are longing to try Jjajangmyeon, Grace and I decided to go to this Chinese diner nearby our university after class. I stumbled upon this place on the way back home just a day ago. So glad we came here! I'm definitely coming back as there are other items on the menu that I'd like to try and it's pretty cheap for Seoul's standard.

탕수육 (Tang Soo Yook; Sweet & Sour Pork 糖水肉) and 짜장면 (Jjajangmyun; Black Bean Noodle 炸酱面).

After lunch, we decided to make a visit to Ewha Womans University 이화여자대학교, a female-only university, which is considered to be one of the top universities in Korea. The campus' architectural facility is one of the most talked about in South Korea. I read online that the Univ is also turning to be a must-visit place while in Seoul. Now that I've been there, I know why.

View from Main Gate

Ewha Campus Complex - you know, on the left and right, they're not just glass panels, but a total of 6 levels is housed below ground, which is home for auditoriums, restaurant, cafes, bookstores, shops, student union, printing station, meeting halls, and parking lots O_O





There were more facilities within, but I stopped snapping as I didn't want to appear jakun (unsophisticated). Coming here was worth the walk. The university aside, the entire Ehwa area is populated with food/cafes and cheap places to shop.

Ah yes. Rewinding back to that faithful day. One the very first day, we were told to fill the A3 paper with our basic details to facilitate a self-introduction session. Day-by-day, there are different activities which allows us to get to know one another better, at the same time, learn speech patterns for use in everyday life. By the 3rd day, I got everyone's name right.

Early to rise, early to class.

During the same slot (two-hour lesson for Speaking), we had a test. Erm, not exactly a test. It's more like a review (of what you have learned in Level 1) and preview of certain chapters in Level 2. According to Ms. Lee, if that paper was too easy, we can request to skip L2 and progress to L3 instead. But I'd rather not.


Happy weekend everyone.
