End of week 5...

Hello All

I know I hv not been updating this blog religiously becos i am simply too lazy! It has been a gd month, relaxing in Korea and travelling ard Busan sightseeing.

I have been to 4 beaches (Haeundae, Songdo, Songjeong, Gwangali) in Busan, numerous parks and to most of the shopping district here. I have also travelled out of Busan to Yangsan where many old folks would probably like it there. It is quiet, not much of a life there but it is filled with pretty flowers! A good place to relax if u want to get away from civilisation. There is also a theme park there, unfortunately I have not been there. Heard that it is a small theme park so I may not visit there after all as the location isnt too convenient.

I have also been to Ulsan where there is an amethyst cave. Is highly recommended for people to go! For one, this cave will turn extremely cold if the outside temperature is hot and vice versa. Is considered as one of the top few weirdest place in the world. (read it on a website but too lazy to retrieve the link). Other than the 'weird' factors, the cave is pretty scenic inside too!
To get there is probably more complicated than Yangsan as Yangsan City is linked to the Busan City Subway line.
To get to Ulsan, take a train to Nopo-dong, align and go to the bus terminal. Purchase a 3000 won bus tix (1-way) to Eonyang. Eonyang is a place located in Ulsan. From there, grab a taxi to go to the cave because no transport will take u there (too ulu)

As of current, we are loooking for cheap passage to Jeju, if all else fails, there is always nearby cities to go to. Will update more when I have the time and brain cell to do it haha... but i am determined to visit nearby cities like Miryang, Gjeongju and Daegu... honestly trying to prepare myself mentally to go alone if I really cant find like-minded friends to go along with me :)

School Life
It is definitely more relaxed in PNU than SMU. So far, I have had 2 group presentations. Now, I have an individual presentation and an individual assignment to complete. The submission dates are close to the mid-term tests week. Have not been studying, obviously. This is because I dont really know what to study as the profs here seems to go thru definitions only. Family will be coming next wed. So yea, this is probably going to be a busy 2-3 weeks for me!

But I kinda welcome it, as certain periods of the 1st 5 weeks can be agonising when there is no work and u ran out of things to do. I just hate the slack period at times, when u stare at the air, thinking of what to do haha... I mean sometimes playing all the time can only get u thus far :p

Having said that, i aim to work hard n play hard here :D
Work during weekdays n play during weekend
Hope I can keep to my own resolution ^_^ V
