Well, its a new month, and i'm back from Jirisan, so its no excuse for not blogging. I'm kinda lazy, so here's a short one.

Went to Jeonju like ages ago, like 3 weeks ago? Its a pretty small city below Daejeon. Nothing much there.

The more interesting one would be Jirisan, the highest mountain in mainland South Korea. I didn't take any decent pictures with my phone though. Its hard enough taking pics with a camera with gloves on, try taking pics with a capacitive touchscreen phone with gloves. I'm thinking of investing in a good rugged waterproof camera. Don't know if i should. Especially since exchange is almost over.
And so the pics from Jirisan are from Rusty's camera, so credits to him.

So, studying for the midterms, on exchange. Despite the oxymoron.
Andddd..... abit laggy, but i started watching the Big Bang Theory. Its really quite nice. Haha.
On to season 2 now. :)

Random pics around school after the break. oh, and i decided to upload the pics from my phone to facebook. Much easier. Time to sleep, and hopefully dream of the answers to tuesday's exams.
9:59 AM
Midterms are next week.
And i'm studying everyday.
Why oh why, do i have to do homework and study everyday on exchange? Maybe i should have went to the US, since Zhihong says all the tests are so easy. Haha.

Going to visit a HotAirBalloon Exhibition, and Rocktober fest tomorrow though. :)

Anyways, random pictures after the link.

Went on our third hike since I came to Seoul. A place called Songnisan National Park. 1.5hrs bus ride from Daejeon. 7300won.

Woke up damn early, and missed the bus. Ended up waiting for 1hr for the next bus. -.-
The start of the trek was flat drivable road for like 3km. Walk until sian man. But the trek started getting more decent after that. Pictures and vids after the break!
3:30 AM
Friday was a rather slack day, with only one lesson. Went to 2 korean classes, to try and see if i can take it w/o the exams, but got rejected twice. Sad.
Saw quite a few interesting sights around school though.
Headed to a NoRaeBang ë…¸ëž˜ë°© or karaoke in the night. Was rather cheap at 1300won a head. Which is like SGD$2. And the room is damn huge too. :)
Oh ya. cut my hair too!
Pics below. :D

10:15 AM
Well, school days, nothing much to update about.
But i still managed to take some pictures, so here they are. :)
5:39 AM
Nothing much today, since we're pretty much settled into school.
I still have homework due tomorrow which i haven't done.
Had an Orientation thingy today by some International Students Organisation in Kaist. Went out to eat, and paid 20 000 won. Which is like SGD$24.
I feel totally ripped off. Because the live octopus was only like 7000won i think, for 5 people. -.-
Videos and pictures after the 'Read More'.
9:20 AM
Ahhh, have been back pretty late the past 2 nights, so i've got quite abit to upload.
A total of 64 pics, so click to view after the break!

Today is a pretty nua day. Woke up to have breakfast at 9am, only to go back to room to sleep until 12pm, had lunch then headed to the world cup stadium. Rather slack. School's starting tomorrow, and the stupid school portal doesn't allow me to access using my mac. -.-

Lunch was cheap at 2500won, and it was rather like Katsu Don.

5:13 AM
Well, not many pictures today because we didn't do much, and because i think the guys are getting sick of me koping photos from them, so yea. Haha. Maybe i should start using my phone's camera more. :p

Woke up at 12pm, and went to the bank to get some money. The queue was incredibly long as usual.
Medical check up at 2pm, and we all didn't drink wate because one of the KAIST staff told us not to, but end up we had to do a urine test, and we could drink. Dumb shiet. Ended up thirsty for nothing, and couldn't piss.

Lunch was spicy pork, bbq-ed again. But still nice. :D was filling and delicious. The brazilian guys thought it was too spicy though, they weren't used to spicy food. Haha.
9:58 AM
As the title suggests, we went to the beach today.
I'm not really tired, and i don't have to wake up early tomorrow, but since it's worked pretty well so far, i'll do the narrating in the picture comments. :)

8:38 AM
Day 3! Went hiking, and walking, and sight see-ing. Damn tired.
Let the pictures do the talking again! 36 pics today!

8:55 AM
Damn tired, so i'll let the pictures my friend took do the talking. :D
9:18 AM
After a very touching send off by my great parents, and friends, and girlfriend (amazingly i didn't cry :p), a 6 hour long flight, and a 3 hour bus ride, i'm settled down in KAIST.

From the super messy packing of luggage,
