I finally came around to uploading some photos, 30 all in all.

 Check them out here: http://www.neavanille.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=6 The photos include me and my boyfriend in hanboks (traditional Korean dress), Insadong, Seoul by night, the photos from the beach trip I promised an eternity ago and a few general pictures of my room. Yay!

 Story behind some of the photos: yesterday, I went to Insadong, which is seen as the cultural center of Seoul. It’s basically one long street cramped with shops selling souvenirs, art galleries, traditional restaurants etc. It wasn’t really that impressive but it did make for a nice date. Still, for tourists, Seoul is kind of bleh – Japan, Thailand or China have a lot more to offer for the avid picture-taker and traditional culture lover.

What follows is rather personal ramblings, so I’m not sure who’s going to be interested in it, but I’ll write about it anyway. My boyfriend (who is under the unfortunate delusion he’s good at games, when he really isn’t) bought an online adapter for our Playstation 2 so we can play Winning Eleven online. This game seems to be very popular in Korea – it’s a Japanese soccer game and everybody and their grandma seems to be playing it. I’m not very good at it yet, but a lot of it seems to be based on luck rather than skill anyway. I spent a lot of days this August staying indoors and playing Playstation because it was just too damn hot to set one foot outside of the door.

Um, can’t really think of more to ramble on about. XD

Tomorrow is my first day of class. I CAN’T WAIT. XD As much as I love vacationing, I’m starting to get bored – I need a sense of purpose, some ‘work’ at the moment, so I’m really really looking forward to starting at Sogang University tomorrow morning.
