thirty four. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!

Woke up extra early this morning (nah jokes.. just 8.30) to meet up with Eero at 10am to retrieve our Alien Registration Cards =D.

Off we went on our 45 minute journey to Omokgyo station and walked past busy streets and seemingly more 'modern' buildings under the blistering sun.. Quite hot today..




Probably one of the biggest Buddhist buildings I've ever seen here.

YEUH. bad photo.... hate it... but oh well.

After that, I managed to recharge credit on my phone!! WOOHOO!!! Recharged $10 just to see if I can manage my data usage better this time and if I can't, at least it's only $10 instead of $30 (like last time... $30 only lasted 2 days...).

We then went back to the University to meet up with the others to have lunch.. had a Bibimbap type dish that has a more Japanese touch to it... $3.50 ish for it and it was good =].

Then... I had class at 4-6 [International Business] and then waited for dinner with the others at 6.30.. where we ate Kimbab haha! Quick dinner because they wanted to study...

Nicole has been studying like crazy... we're talking about 5 hours individual study (outside of the 4 hour class) just on Korean alone... She's very motivated to learn.... But Lyna isn't so much... She's come up with complications in regard to credit transfer back to her home university so she's grown stressed, sick and frustrated - to the point where she doesn't want to study... It's a shame though because tonight as I was helping her, she had great potential... She picked up words very quickly and had good technique for a 2nd week Korean language learner... Maybe it's just because she's sick right now that she feels drained and tired - but hey, at least her appetite is coming back. =].

Supper snack... $1.80 for this tray of Ddeokbokki... It was a lot more full =P.


My credit!!! 9714won... I get this message every time I make a call.. it updates me with my balance..

Tomorrow I'll have the whole day off... No classes because professor is in Japan... so it'll b laundry day and lunch with the crew =].

Tired now... and it's time to sleep... Also... small groups start tomorrow so I'd better be fully focused on that!

Thankful: Alien Registration Card received (bank card now attainable and I don't have to dangerously carry my passport around all the time).

Prayerful: A fruitful small group session tomorrow and quality time spent with them and the word of God on 1 Timothy.

Dangers: I haven't met up with Jo for 2+ weeks... Losing contact with accountability contacts here in Korea...
