December is here (Week 14)

It's finally the month that everyone looks forward to, but don't want to let go.
December is here.
It's nearing the end of the year, also the end of our one Semester in Hallym University.

We attended a farewell party on 1st December, held by the Buddy program.
We are very grateful to all the buddies. Their buddy system is super awesome. We heard that they match us to our buddies according to our self introductions. How thoughtful is that!

The theme for this time's farewell party is "Black and Red", so we had to go shopping for clothes.
Students from various countries were at the party and they gave touching speech, stating that
"A farewell is necessary before meeting again.", and that "Goodbyes are not forever, they simply mean I'll miss you."

Ok, stopping with the sad quotes. Here are some memorable pictures we would like to remember.

Here is a picture of our buddy with her friend and Sam, the student that will be going to NYP for exchange in the coming semester.

It was the first time in awhile that we met up together and ate. We were all very busy with our school work and could only contact each other through Kakao talk.

We always laugh at how Sam needs to hang out with 3 of us but when he goes to Singapore, he will have 3 of us as his additional buddies.
How unfair haha!
We can't wait to bring him around the island!
There's just so many things we need to do in return and answer!
  


This girl on the left here is our classmate for International Business Analysis.
She's super bubbly and always say hello to us in class. She's really confident and a great English speaker. Her smile is very contagious and she's just really really crazy, just like us.


Here's a video of all the post cards our various buddy wrote to us ;__;


Here's a video of Sam dancing



We took this photo because it was the last finance lesson and we will be having our one and only written exam, THE Finance Exam next week. We have finance class with 2 other Germany guys and 1 other China guy. The class was really fun and our classmates are really friendly and nice! Remember that they brought us to eat FOOOOOOD?
We found this really delicious and filling dinner place! We randomly ordered 2 meals that were for 5 people but we had to try our best to finish our food! There were 2 pizza, 2 pork belly, a salad, a huge bowl of soup and 5 bowls of rice WITH SEAWEED!! It is totally worth the money, it was 11,600 won per person ONLYYYYY !!!!!!! Heh. The amount of food is equivalent to a buffet !


We had pizza with our buddy the next day.
Sam was supposed to join us but he wasn't feeling well.
We even waited for him >:(
The pizza store is called "Pizza No.1" and it's super cheap for a super huge plate of 18 inch pizza.
We only had to pay 5000Won per person!!

WE LOVE THE FOOD IN KOREA!











We spent the weekend in Fake Myeong Dong.
TarrTarr is a new pastry store that opened on 4th December!
They gave a free cup because they just opened. We all want the free cup. We're Asians.
aaaaand, Bingsu. Again.
We just can't stop eating bingsu!
We have to finish the entire menu before we go home. We can try.


The Rilakkuma was caught by Belle at a UFO catcher machine.
Koreans are really crazy over the machine and they're really really good at catching the toys inside. We saw one dude catching close to 10 of them in the same machine.
It was crazy!



Lotte mart is always as exciting. They were selling fruits. Korean fruits. Especially strawberries.

We each bought a box of strawberries back and finished it in a few days.
The pomegranates were also SUPER huge and cheap. Unlike Singapore.










Oh and, we went Skiing with Eileen and Estee.
We fell. Super a lot of times.
Please do not attempt to go to the highest hill, it might give you a concussion.
We fell so many times we don't even know if it hurts anymore. We went back with quite a few bruises HAHAHAHA PLEASE BE CAREFUL
