I know its been a long time since i've updated.
We are all doing fine here.. Very busy with mid term examinations (this week actually!) and work in the cafe.
Working in the cafe is fun, but tiring. Everyday we are assigned with buddies, whom we talk to in english of course. Some have excellent command but some not so good. So we have to be super patient with them, encourage and help them as much as we can :) This is good training for all of us ! haha.. The Cambodians and one Thai girl who work with us are really nice. :) Although they are going home in March. :( When are the other Malaysians coming over?

Meanwhile, i am still struggling with the language. But learning little bit day by day.
We all got our cellphones already, despite Jun Haw and I having loads of trouble due to our age. But luckily we got one of our Korean seniors to get it for us. So problem is solved.
Food is another thing here in Korea. I miss Malaysian food sooooo much, i would kill for a plate of Char Kuey Teow right now. I just had dinner though. But still, food here is not cheap and Miss Sophia would you pleaaaseee bring BBQ Pork for us ? *puppy eyes*.
Samgeoksal (Super yummmyyy only RM25 - Buffet!)
Very Very expensive T_T and rare Galbi... Super tasty.. a treat from our professor.
DURIAN ! Wasn't fresh though :( Took it off the buffet table. haha :)
Besides that, shopping is awesome. Miss Sophia, when you come over we can bring you shopping ! :) And beaches, sightseeing.. the view is amazing.
So im leaving, to go study Korean Culture. Midterms tomorrow. Haha...
Bye !
Love,
Melissa

Hi Melissa,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear from you :) I've been wondering how you guys are doing since there was no reply to my last comment under the 'Gwangalli Beach' post.
Good to know that you guys are busy being preoccupied with work at the English Cafe, mid-term exams and of course, socializing with your Korean peers. It seems you're getting the most out of the exchange program. I'm sure your Speaking Buddies are also gaining a lot in terms of improving their English communication. A gentle reminder here - to maximize your contribution, don't forget that you can organize events and activities to promote the English language as well as all things Malaysian to your Korean buddies.
BBQ Pork? I'm afraid that's a request that's quite difficult to fulfill, Melissa, especially when airlines have such strict regulations these day. But don't worry, we will bring something Malaysian for you guys to cook..it's a surprise *winks
haha..i'd love to go shopping when i'm there but the trip is for work and our schedule is terribly packed.. so i'm afraid that'll have to wait until i go to Busan on a holiday myself. lolz.
See you all next week! :D
