Seoul: the first weekend

I had a lazy Saturday; we all woke up late and at ramen on campus. The food here is so cheap! I usually pay 2000 to 5000 Won (2 to 5 USD) for lunch, and all the food is so good! Even fast food American is better here. Coffee, though, is like 5 or 6 bucks. Anyways, I did just about nothing for the rest of the day; we went out later for dinner and drinks but it was rainy so we came back to the dorms pretty quick.

On Sunday, my Mom's aunt, uncle, and cousin took me to lunch in the countryside outside Seoul. The food was great, and I had the best coffee ever afterwards, and it came from a machine? so good. On the way back to campus I saw more protesters start to gather near the capitol. That night my friends and I met up with some other people we met in the dorms and we went to a couple bars. We had kiwi soju- it tastes like candy!
I think a majority of people here are from a UC; there are barely any East Coasters! It seems like the first time ever I haven't been surrounded by people from the tri-state area. I met a few people from nyc, but still no Jersey people!
