A Long Journey to Gwangju, Korea

Hi there, after 12 suffering hours of travelling, i've finally arrived safely at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST). The most challenging part was to try to sleep on a sitting position in the plane. From 12.10 am to 6.10 am. South Korea is 1 hour in advance of Malaysia. The weather is nice, day time the temperature falls around 23 to 25 degree celcius, and night time is around 13 to 15 degree celcius, like Genting la. ^.^

Oh, i'm so tired already, these are the photos that i've snapped today. No time to blog about it in details. I'll tell briefly.

Packing....

Travel by Airport Limousine Bus to Gimpo Airport for domestic flight to Gwangju.

This is the bus ...

My first meal in Korea, Kimchi Udong 6,000 won at BIZ Snack, Gimpo Airport

Check-in to the dormitory.

They have Starbucks beverages in their vending machine.

Most students move about by cycling. Very environmental friendly !

o

My room, i'm sleeping up there on a double decker. I'm sharing a room with 3 other students, 1 Korean, 1 Mongolian and 1 Thai.

Showering is a tough part because.... once you open the door, there is a shower curtain, after the shower curtain, there are 3 cubicles to shower which each of them is seperated by glass panels only, no doors ! I can see you, you can see me la. Everyone shower naked inside.

My dinner, pork cutlet rice 6,000 won... so yummy... kimchi again ...

And, the officer brought us to the bank to open bank account at Woori Bank, a local bank. The form.. no english at all ! All in Korean...

These stuffs were from the local store called Lotte Super, walking distance from GIST.
Memang susah, tak da tau baca oh, see picture only -.-

End of Day 1
