Ok... Wednesday... Wednesday was.... quite boring.... the lessons were on fund management of Arts Council Korea, but at least I managed to stay awake and follow somewhat. Lunch was nice though... it always is when its Arts Council lunch haha. Today we had Japanese lunch! Some of us had eel and some had mushroom... Luckily I had the eel... I hate shitake mushrooms... The eel was very nice, and so was the rice. But there was kimchi! haha. Koreanised Japanese food~ And the rice is also Koreanised... See the pictures for details.... though that might be quite impossible until I caption each of them.. which I'm very resistant to doing actually... There's just so many of them!

After lunch we were free, and we went for coffee again haha. We know why Jinju wants Coffee Bean all the time now... She has the card and she managed to get like 6 chops in a go! haha! Soon she will have a free cup of coffee. Sneaky i say... hahaha (yes Jinju reads this...) You know I'm joking right?

After coffee Ernest and Melecio (finally got his name right.. sorry Melecio) wanted to go Sinyongsan (新龙山) to get computer cables.... and I went along cos I wanted to see the place. Its like a giant Sim Lim... (those not in Singapore.. Sim Lim is somewhat like Sinyongsan) about 20 times bigger... There are many many buildings about 5 stories high and each one is like a Sim Lim... We found the cables in quite short order, but we stayed to look at all the DVDs for sale. Melecio turned out to like operas a lot and we found this stall which sells a lot of them. He walked away with 9 of them... and I bought 3. we managed to cut the price down from 5000 each to 44000 for 13 (12+1 free) haha. Actually it was Melecio who did the talking...

After that we went back to Hyehwa, but Melecio went to Itaewon first by himself... Me and Ernest went to Macdonalds to get dinner and to bring back for Bernard who was feeling lazy and stayed in the hostel. Macdonalds had zero English on their menu, which I find very surprising. We ordered 3 meals and went back to eat... Then it was Korean lesson no. 2... learnt how to order in the restaurant and how to buy things... very simple sentances only though... Then learnt one more part of the alphabet... and then that was it for the day.
