World EXPO 2012: Yeosu, South Korea

"The Living Ocean and Coast"

June 6, 2012.

As the days are counting before we leave the country, the ASEAN and Zimbabwean students in Daejeon University had a field trip in World EXPO 2012 in Yeosu, South Korea. We went there to witness the ASEAN Culture & Tourism Fair 2012 sponsored by the ASEAN-Korea Centre at the same time see with our very own eyes the 2012 Yeosu Expo.

To start off our trip, we need to travel around 3hrs by to reach to the Expo and so we left Daejeon University 7:00am sharp. This is one of the field trips that no one was late even just for a minute! It seems that everyone is very excited! Who's not? It's one of the biggest festivals in Korea these days. Everyone charged and prepared themselves for this very long day. It's just a day trip so we are scheduled to arrive home around 10:00pm.

By the time we reached Yeosu, we all have full of energy and immediately posed for a group photo even just after we alight the bus. Like this:

Another one!

Family in Korea Day 4: Daejeon University / King's Meal

Campus Tour / Hanjeongsik
Monday, April 9, 2012.


Back in Daejeon. Back to my home. This is where I lived for most of my stay and one of the five big cities in Korea.  Now why are we here? I had class the entire day of Monday and my family wants to visit my school as well.  After all, the reason why they went to Korea is to see me and my life here rather than go around the country.  Sightseeing just comes to the second spot.


As I mentioned, I have 3 classes for the day: 
Korean Class: 9am -11:30am
Comparative Analysis of ASEAN Economics: 12:30pm - 3:00pm
Research Class: 3:30pm - 6:00pm

At Student Union's Cafeteria

I had full monday schedule so I cannot tour them around the city during the day.  What did we do? In the morning, they just rested and charged themselves after 3days of walking and walking and walking. haha. Then we ate lunch together at our cafeteria (at least the best cafeteria in school).  I ordered all of our meals, Bibimbap (비빔밥), Fried Rice (뽁음밥), Kimchi Stew (김치 찌개) and Ramyeon (라면). Why Ramyeon? It's for my sisters. haha!  They liked the food with one old and the same complain. "It's very spicy" What else can I do? I can't do anything but for them to eat it. Anyway, it's just during this trip! haha. When they go back to the Philippines, they will eat our delicious filipino food again :)
