1st days

There is a lot to tell... In the plane, I got a bit sick. Luckily I didn't had to use that bag, but it wasn't pleasant. At the airport, there was someone wuth a temperature-measurement-screen... everyone just walked passed him, but he askes me if I could come to him. Then he asked me if I was staying in Korea or transferred, ofcourse I was staying. So then he asked me if he could check my temperature! So I must have been hot... but everything was okay. I could walk further.

Then when we got out, someone was supposed to pick us up. So we checked all the names, but we didn't find ours. We waited for over 30min, when my name was called and if we could come to some other exit! When we finally found eachother, everything was okay. We took a bus and had a ride for about 1,5 hrs. Then we had to walk with our suitcases (30kg, a heavy backpack and a trolley of over 10kg) for about 10-15min. Then we finally arrived!

I was scheduled with another Dutch girl, but since she already knew the 'neighbour', she wanted to switch. So now I'm roommates with FangFang:) I hear from other students as well, that they wanted to share a room with someone outside of their own nationality, let alone someone they know, but this is what they call 'random computerized selection'... yeah right. Everyone is roommates with their own nationality is that was possible, but that's okay, we are just 'roommates' with the whole floor. Doors open and eating together.
So our neighbours are 2 Dutch girls from Amsterdam, across: 2 German girls, diagonal: 1 Denmark, 1 still to arrive, after that 1 from France and 1 Norway/Sweden (not sure) and also 1 more coming.

We haven't started school yet, but we've been around here a bit, did some cleaning and grocery shopping. Still not fully settle in, but I'm getting closer every day.

My gallery is still under construction... But an impression can be found on FB...

Tomorrow we will visit the old palaces, so that should be fun! :)

I think this is enough reading for now... btw, sorry if it is in English, but it is much easier at the moment;)

some facts: the streets either smell like sewer or food, our room always feels like summer (the central heating is turned on very high), we have a shower-toilet (the shower is 1 step away across the toilet), people only speak a little bit of English if they do at all, and the food is not ranked #1 on my favorite-cuisines-list (yet)... but it's all part of the great experience;)
