Mr. Toilet + Seoul

SATURDAY: A visit to Mr. Toilet House here in Suwon and a walk around the city. Mr. Toilet House had the shape of a toilet (surprise surprise) and was build as a private house. The owner passed away 2 years ago so the family donated it to the city for public 'use'. Its a really cool house with some amazing architetural solutions. 

SUNDAY: A trip to Seoul with my great roomie Carola. See pictures below.

Temple Stay - Failure

I was suppose do a Temple stay over this weekend - but, I couldn´t find the Temple. And all I remembered from my directions (that I forgot back at the campus) was that the Temple name starts with an 'M' and that it was 50  in one directions (maybe to the right?) before a turn in an other direction...

So. After a bag of Korean cookies I started to walk along Cheonggyechon strem (Seoul) and decided to cross and photograph all 15 birdges crossing the strem. Along the stream there was also a lot of other interesting things going on...

One of the bridges

People eating Bibimbap in the market

Mmm jammi

Another brige

Back in Berlin?

Scheisse Tenta!

Igår skrev jag två tentor. Den ena önskar jag att jag hade 4 timmar istället för 2 timmar på mig. Pennan glödde konstant under skrivtiden och ändå hann jag inte klart. Var ligger felet?! Den andra var raka motsatsen. Jag satt som ett frågetäcken och undrade om jag verkligen hade kommit till rätt klassrum. Det var den, utan tvekan, sämsta tentan jag någonsin skrivit.

Hur som. Idag gott gjorde jag gårdagen men en dag i Seoul! Lika trevligt som alltid.

Tofusoppa, Äggsoppa, ris och x antal sidedishes utgör en middag för två

Todays...

Todays weather and studyspot

Todays Exam - Buildning Equipment

Korean exam!

A box is a 'm' och a vertical line is a 'e'.

Today - in 1½ hour - I have my korean exam, so I should know that stuff. Anyway. Its now fall in Korea and just wanted to upload some pics:

And this is what I CHEW on now. 

Happy day! :)

Sleeping with my books

Tomorrow, mid term exam week begins! So, guess what I did yesterday? And guess what I will be doing today? And guess what I will be doing until friday?... 

Yesterday it was Buildning Equipment and Traffic Study the hole day. Today - Korean. Senare ska jag öva på det bästa frasen ever: 'Tangun Yo se yu ' (Jag vill ha morötter). Gonna bring my camera and update you with some Korean fall pictures later today...

Also have to say a great HAPPY BIRTHDAY to ANDREAS today! Celebrate him well - OK!! 

1 down 5 to go!

So - I had my first exam yesterday, in dancing. Next week I will have 5 exams so this weekend will be so much fun - really looking forward to it!

And I heard that it was quite cold, both in Lule but also in Norrköping, so I just wanted to let you know that I am wearing shorts today :)

Bye for now! (And to all my classmates - good luck on Tentorna!!)

Got a korean haircut!

Nu var det andra gången som jag gick till en frisör men vilken jag inte kunde kommunicera verbalt. När lär jag mig att detta är ingen bra lösning för att få bort dead ends!?Om jag säger att min klippning (inkl föning och styling) tog 15 min kan kan kanske förstå hur bra det gick. Nästa gång tar jag fram saxen sjäv...

Seoul Tower, Nanta, Host Family Day

A quick update about last week;

SEOUL TOWER
Last Tuesday I went to a Architects conference in Seoul. The first hour was in korean (simply nothing for me). The following 2 hours were in english and the last 2 hours were in German/Korean. Thank god I understood the german part else I would have died in there! After that it was a perfect time to see Seoul Tower at night!

Seoul Tower

NANTA

WOW! Hard to explaine but simply amazing! Its a Korean non verbal cooking show that inlcludes lots of music and rythm. Check it out: http://nanta.i-pmc.co.kr/en/about/place_jeongdong.asp ! Anyway. I was pulled up on the stage! So there I was, in front of this audience - making mandues!

And this is the happy Chef

After the Nanta show, and some Bibimbap, we went to a Firework Festival

HOST FAMILY DAY

Yesterday we had a host family day - was really nice.

This is my host family and two other Exchange students. 

Look what they had made!! So cute!!  :)

Chestnuts and Sweetpotatos! :)
