Well, all of us were really in sad mood because we all knew tht we’re going back soon..Once we arrived at the university, we were brought to c demonstration from taekwando of tht university.

I went to Lotte Department, Insa-dong and Dongdaemoon. For Lotte Department, it’s the top shopping complex in Korea(they told me 1). How top is it? Everything is so so so expensive, mayb can fight wf KLCC and Pavillion in M’sia. 1 very normal t-shirt may costs RM1xx. Yet, the ppl there still think tht it’s so cheap and there’s a ‘long dragon’ in the cashier. (bcoz there’s a sales, but still expensive!) -.-" There were so so so many expensive food inside the department as well. I saw kit-kat!! haha…

Then, we walked to insa-dong, which is quite a distance from Lotte Complex. On the way we walked, there were demonstration by residents of Korea because of wt wt beef matter. Wow! How lucky m i to c the demonstration, i saw polices on my left, then demonstrators on my right side. haha! In insa-dong, there was a lot of things to sell, mostly is korean traditional keychain, fan, and those kind of small souvenirs. So of coz, i bought quite many things there. :p I still not finish buying yet, but we got to rush to Dongdaemoon. Well, dongdaemoon is quite suitable for teenagers to shopping. There’s A LOT of fashion clothes and accessories. Anyway, i din buy anything there. Unluckily, we miss the laz bus to come bac to asan(town tht i stay). So i got to wait for 1 hour and 45 minutes jz to catch up another bus to cheonan(town tht nearby asan) at 11.00pm. Wow, it’s really tired… I still left of some souvenirs….T.T so regret now!!! haih…got to sleep now, bye…

Today’s programme is different wf yesterday 1. Yesterday, we were brought to visit the school one department by one department. But today, we jz went to the school and straightly enter their class and study wf them. Well, this is a really really young, fresh and new school. They only start the school in january 2008, means dis year. Total of students is not many as they were the 1st badge. There were 3 different language class in this school.

Even I felt like wan crying whn wan to say goodbye to them. Anyway, i took some picture wf them. They gav us a bookmark as souvenir, i surely will keep it nicely! hope we all can keep in contact…

IYE: 6th day in korea

I want to study in korea!!!!! urghh!!! their school is so so so so good!! much more better thn malaysia…i’m sori to say tht… :p For this whole day, i went to cheonan techical high school and really hav fun there…We were exposed to their study system. Their school is to produce technician for samsung, mostly. This school is among the top technician high school in korea. It’s so so so awesome!! I like their school because they do hav a lot of practical. This is a lot different wf m’sia 1. Students there were jz around 16,17 years old, but they do a lot of real practical, which doesn’t hav in m’sia! They do hav a lot of practical lab like mechanical lab, mechatronic lab, electronic lab and a lot more…And what can i say is, korea school system is really superb! tht’s why engineering in korea n japan are so good. How good if i got the chance to study here? T.T Apart from that, let me talk about their recess time. Their recess time is around 1 hour. Quite long rig? My school is jz 20 minutes.. And the special part is, they do hav a special room for the students to play ping pong and snooker. SNOOKER!! i don’t think any of m’sia skol gt snooker… special rig? After recess, we were brought to their classroom and study together wf them. Their class is not like ours 1. For M’sian, we juz study inside a four-wall classroom. But in this cheonan technical high school, their classrooms were equipped wf all hi-tech and good facilities. And 1 class is jz about 10 ppl. My 1st class was learn how to programme a robot, 2nd class was learn how to programme a …How do i call tht? Ermm…sth lk factory thing la. 3rd class was learn how to work a piston by using pressure, and the piston will do many other works…THAT’S WHAT THEY LEARN IN FORM 4 FORM 5!! Anyway, i really really enjoy their class!! Another part tht was impressed me a lot is tht laser marking. They can jz type my name inside the computer, and then put my handphone inside a machine, then click it. My name will b lasered on my handphone surface in 3 seconds! WOW… And we get a handphone accessories wf our laser portrait b4 we went bec home. Apart from that, we got a towel and certificate from tht skol. Very funny rig? ytd get toothbrush from DGE, today get towel from Cheonan Technical High School. Haha…The only part tht i feel not good is tht, this school is a boy school. So….We boy were not popular at all!! only girl of our IYE team popular!! Their namecards were jz keep on given. But our boys 1…haizz..unless we want to give ourselves la!! If not, nobody asked from us!! haha… After bec from skol, i follow my host mum go to the nearby e-mart. We buy quite a lot of food there…She even bought me the turkey because i said it’s nice. so good…T.T And then, we went to a beauty shop. She bought me 2 bottle of skin lotion. Really really happy!! haha~~ Well, today is really a tired day! Got to sleep lo…Bye! ^^
