Ok.. this morning we went to the Korean Traditional Music Institute... and were late haha. Cos its Jinju's first time there, and we didn't estimate the time correctly. Anyway its not very near.. total is like 12 stops away with one change of train. Total took us about an hour, including a bus ride up as well. We were about 20 min late but the guy in charge was ok I suppose. Anyway we all sat down, and then he gave the three of us some kind of booklet to read... while he spoke to Jinju in Korean.. and spoke and spoke haha. Then he talked to us in English (phew) and asked us what we wanted to do... He was being very nice about it and said he'd try his best to get together a nice program for us, because we were all quite diverse in our field... So we gave some suggestions and I think he's going to try to follow them all! yay!

Then we went to tour the place... and saw the people practicing, saw the halls, saw the other buildings, and they have this really nice outdoor stage just at the foot of a small hill. Cool eh.. then we were done! haha that was so fast.. it was only 11+ and Jinju had to go back to her office.. Chain went with her but me and Bernard went to the library to find cds. The LINC or OPEC was like in Korean and it took us like maybe 15 min to figure how to use.. or at least me... Bernard gave up after a while. We tried to get the cds, but they were all restricted so I had to give my passport and then they checked out the cds for us to listen there only. So we listened and listened haha till it was about 12+. We then went to explore the opera house and concert hall (its just beside the library) and found this really cool CD shop that sells many many many CDs that I'm sure NAFA people will be dying to come see... I took a giant stack of all those CDs that I wanted and slowly winnowed through them to 3. But it still cost me 44k Won.... then we went off and walked down to find the station. On the way we passed this place which said 'English menu available' and we stopped and went in for late lunch haha. I had curry rice.. quite nice and Bernard had Bibimbap. Then we went off to the station and Bernard took a wrong turn.. and we ended up walking more than we had to. In the train Bernard went off at another stop to go off to God knows where but I went back to listen to all the CDs i bought.

Jinju came over to look for some people during the evening but they weren't there... the other people doing the other program... so we persuaded her to join us for dinner haha at Twins again! I had curry tonkatsu (curry day haha) which was really nice... Then its the end of the day.. and we're up here again haha. Oh now we have our favourite coffee... Coffee Esmeralda haha. The owner recognize us now! and he gave us 500 Won discount each the last time we went! Wooo nice uncle! Then today he gave us each a small doughnut to go with the coffee.. Those cubes you know... haha

Good day.... I love the Institute that we're going. So beautiful and scenic.. I'll take more pictures to show you guys!
