My campus is really nice because it has a lot of vegetation and you can see all the fall colors in it. Every time I'm on campus there are always at least a handful of people taking pictures. Last weekend I went to Gyeongbokgung palace and rented traditional Korean attire called hankboks, for pictures. I recommend going around this time because it has a lot of fabric and you can get really hot in it. I have also recently found this pizza place which I am really excited about because the pizza is not sweet. All the pizza places I have tried in Korea have a slightly sweet taste to it, which isn't bad but I like this place in Itaewon called Bonny's Pizza. Something that I could never get in Hawaii is delivery for food at 10pm. I think delivery for pizza would still be available at this time, but you can literally order any kind of food you want. This includes sushi, Chinese food, katsu, all kinds of fast food, pho, etc. In the picture below I ordered salmon nigiri and yukhae, which is raw beef with pear, sprouts, and an egg.

Pre-departureIn order to prepare for my upcoming semester in Seoul, I had gone to the embassy a month early from my departure date for my student visa, which was August 4. However, I could not obtain one even though I have been an American citizen my whole life because my father got his citizenship after I was born. I had to go through a very long and difficult process to acquire a Korean I.D. Please contact me if you have any questions about this process (especially if your ethnicity is Korean), as my other Korean American peers went through the same situation. My email is [email protected]. Other than preparing for documents to enter the country, I prioritized packing, making sure I had all my necessities packed a few days before my departure date. I went to the doctor to get refills for the medication I will be needing for the months ahead. I also called my bank to let them know I will be living in Korean until the end of December so I can freely use my cards without any foreign transaction fees. My number one tip would be to prepare for these types of things for the new semester as soon as the current semester ends! |
