An awesome startup valley university > Soongsil University (note: UAJY has a good partnership with this uni) Visited this uni for two times with a warm (under the sun) discussion with the masters student @wenityas and amazing talks with Prof Hahn and Olivia from international affairs to zombie issues and always ended up with delicious lunch at the cafeteria (chicken soup) and the restaurant (mackarel) #wheninkorea #vitainseoul #soongsiluniversity #asiaplacement #ubfellows #uajyinkorea (at Soongsil University) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClXbWr6PKjK1lN_1avFQ38XlvwTSZH0cSQyWPY0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another UB reunion with Bu @hartonoheny (Batch 2019), Bu Lastri (Batch 2022) and Angelina (Batch 2022) at Changdeokgung Palace with more hanbok experiences, including falling down many times plus a tight petticoat underneath This time I should practice what I have learned from my first visit to Gyeongbokgung Palace - lucky we got to see the changing guards at the main gate at 10 am Only the hanbok rental in this second palace is a bit more expensive ₩10,000/hr We ended the 20,000+ step walk with huge-late lunch: samgye-tang: chicken ginseng soup and fried chikin 😋 #wheninkorea #vitainseoul #changdeokgung #hanbok #asiaplacement #uajyinkorea #koreanpalace #ubfellows #unitedboard (at Changdeokgung Palace South Korea) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClI4IjPLUrnMoCQQmYPrI0G-gZkO6wtMPszbt80/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

13.10.2022 Day 2 First goal was finding warm clothes at COEX Mall - turned out Seoul's autumn is colder than I thought, I needed more layers - I ended buying none (no sale) but taking photos with one of the popular landmark n iconic Starfield Library inside the mall! And of course, a good dinner and an awesome company! Reaching the dorm at 10 pm 🤭 very safe and very warm after 30 min walk Thanks mb @wenityas for challenging me with #navermap (my first exp + I love it so much) and introducing me to many more Seoul's challenges (and shopping places with cheaper prices) #wheninkorea #vitainseoul #asiaplacement #unitedboard #ubfellows #coexmall #starfieldlibrary https://www.instagram.com/p/CkRkZNESvsBH5IuOodSjUJ-i3gBsUC-7_GqB0k0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

14.10.2022 - day 2 Studying Korean history and culture was more meaningful with wearing hanbok, visiting places, acting out, checking out a traditional house nearby (15-min walk from the palace) - watching Korean period dramas helped me a lot to understand the ambience and messages from the architectures Plus, eating Korean barbeque was the surprised closing but no photographs as I was too immersed in the menu! Trying my chopstick skill to be exact Oh actually it was ended by a long discussion with Myoung at a nearby cafe until evening Thanks again, Dr Kim Myoung-suk! #hanbok #vitainseoul #wheninkorea #asiaplacement #ubfellows #gyeongbokgung (at 경복궁 - Gyeongbokgung Palace) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkMbsxNS2X3ykkhPTvQ_K30ydKQzw8lmRfjkok0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On my third day in Seoul, Myoung took me to Gyeongbokgung Palace and she made me wear hanbok (₩10,000) for a couple of hours - that made us get free entrance to the palace (₩3,000) then visited a traditional house nearby Not only that, a whole day spent was actually a test on Korean Culture and History by Myoung - thankfully I watched Korean priod drama a lot 🇰🇷 We discussed about the great statues of Admiral Yi Sun-sin and King Sejong; differences between hanbok outfits; functions of the rooms inside the palace, and many more! Thank God, I passed 🎎 #vitainseoul #wheninkorea #uajyinkorea #asiaplacement #ubfellows #gyeongbokgung (at 경복궁 - Gyeongbokgung Palace) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj_5pugS2U97uWD6I1NcQ8gPqn-ptfaTn9zoFA0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
