Destination 5.2.1 : 3 days of interns + weekend

It's almost 1 week we stayed in busan
we arrived here since monday
and now is sunday night (going to be monday soon)

cont from previous post...
now will be more in intern already

but before that...
the dinner before our 1st day of working
(i mean briefing)
BBQ near our place
and it only costed us 6,000won (~RM18) per person
CHEAP & TASTY with fried rice included

next day...
brunch in campus and went to the international office
full of people
and we were assigned to 4 different professors

(these are known after we met with the professors)

Already assigned :
Soh yee & Ah Xiang : Security Team
Cong Jie & I : Android Apps Team

Later assigned :

Yvonne & Yung Fu : Computer Vision Team

Ken and Zheng Jing : Android Research Team

we were brought to our supervisor
by a master student of him
sami and friends
it is professor Kang Dae Ki

we were also brought to the lab
our workstation

we'll be sitting at the back

where people is sitting there

(to install language pack for us)

then back to prof's room

to brief us on the projects we can do

i'm keeping this as a trade secret then

then the 1st task given was

helping the professor to move his office

before we went to dinner

dinner was 4 baskets of chicken + 2 free bake potatoes

the chicken is totally different from those in malaysia

for chicken breast... malaysia type, dried and tasteless

here... juicy and tasty XD

thanks to Prof Kang for the dinner (he treated us)

next day went to lab around 930 and it's already full of people

OMG... we're newbie and we came later than others...

today we went to lunch with labmates

it's chinese cuisine

we got treated by them for this meals >.<

really thank you guys (2 meals is treated)

i also went to the student plaza

and registered in Dancing Club there

how do i communicate with the students there

with japanese... quite hilarious i guess

back to work and felt sleepy...

whole day in lab... kinda boring

the lab is very silent and i need music to keep me alive

been working full day in downloading software and

doing research on the methods to be used

it's a tiring day and i slept before 10...

next day went to lab around 9 and there's only 1 person there...

so i wonder the actual time we should go to lab

kinda happy today as it's friday and no working tomorrow

still doing research and readings

went to take korean placement test

as we need to learn korean

we didn't even know what's the lecturer was talking

she gave us the test and we just hand up and submit

after writing our name

(we didn't even know where to write our name also...)

so this is the very 1st time i get ZERO for a test

really OMG...

we get to know a Russian and a Brazilian

cuz we're in the same situation

we had lunch together and went to student plaza again

now i wanna ask about the dancing studio around

didn't know how to communicate

as the guy who can speak japs is not around

so how do we communicate...

with computer... babylon 9...

still kinda hard to communicate

but we still can chat (like messenger)

LOL

we also talk with other languages in other clubs

we spoke english, mandarin, japanese and malay...

they even wanna called up an indonesian to speak malay with us

funny right...

since it's friday of cuz we need some party after that

had dinner nearby and bought soju with snacks

dinner : 4,000 won (~RM12) in set (only 1 roll of rice)

then it's party time

btw... the party was over before 11 as the soju is already finished

and CJ lost the final 3 rounds XD

NEXT DAY : SATURDAY

went out with seniors and the russian gal we met yesterday, Karina

ate Double Pork Burger in McD before our travel

most of us bought keychain style train ticket

and I borrow Sheryl's one

1st destination Busan Tower

we spent a lot of time taking photos there

and a long elevator up the hill till the tower area

then there's somewhere looks nice on the way up

with a hmmm... exercise ground also

while leaving, Karina spent around 30mins on drawing portrait

and of course i won't be staying there to wait

so some of us were walking around somewhere nearby

then around 1.5 hours walking on the shopping street

the street is really long with a lot of alleys

i couldn't even finished walking the main streets

it's dinner time

bibimbab, look nice and taste nice

last station

night scenery on the rooftop of this building

Lotte dept store

it's really cold with wind when we were up there

cool scenery

then the busan bridge

enjoy a cup of maple macchiato before leaving the rooftop

went around the store before the fountain show at 9

the fountain is working the other way row

water is coming from the top instead of bottom

and it's end of a day

with another hungry night

before ending...

we were chatting bout hair this morning in McD

seniors said that it's a little more expensive compare to malaysia

then they said not every saloon do ur hair as ur expectation

+ their hair may not be that long lasting as they always change their hairstyle

so i feel like changing my hair soon >.<

IT'S SUNDAY

since we're not in msia

it's a must for me to go out

only zhengjing and i wanna go out

the rest wanna rest in dorm...

we only got 3 months here

around 12 weeks

i don't think we got much time to travel around

so where we went today

it's seomyeon

kinda of a downtown in Busan

my main target was actually buying FF Dissidia

brunch with the gang

the one right opposite our hostel

we called it the red shop

i ate pork chop there and the taste is better than the campus one

then time to Seomyeon

walked in the underground shopping mall

bunch of cheap stuffs and girls stuff

then found a game shop

Final Fantasy Dissidia 012 cost 80,000won (~RM240)

hmmm... kinda expensive, will come back later if i wan

went till the end and find

Bujeong Ginseng Market

before that, saw the Bujeong Electronic Mall

but it seems like closed down already

so went to Bujeong Market Town instead

it just like a normal morning market in Malaysia

Fishes and Vegetables all over the street

then outside of that market is butcher store

we just followed the path to Lotte Dept Store in Seomyeon

it's another high class shopping mall (higher than the yesterday one)

so it's obviously that, i can't afford

the higher (floor) it goes, the cheaper the stuff

there's a event hall inside also

the prices were kinda cheap also

but those design doesn't suit me...

finished walking the store

time for some hi-tea

Cafe Bene at somewhere nearby

Drank Hongsi Yogurt Smoothies

with a piece of brownie

the brownie is just nice

not too sweet and not too dry

it's a very nice environment for hi-tea

but the shop is lack of coffee smell like other coffee shop

after that

walk around the street behind

it's the Seomyeon First Street

something like those shopping street we walked before

for this street

alleys are filled with restaurants

and some of these restaurants are full of people

+ there's a very nice bag shop

but most of the bags are designed in tokyo...

so no point buying them here i guess

then it's dinner time

in this restaurant

there's only one dish in the menu

and minimum order is 2 pax...

felt very spicy after half are eaten

my lip was burning...

this is more like a chinese dish

called "Kong Po"

then on the way back

walked in another underground shopping mall

this is the real seomyeon underground shopping center

not the one we went in the morning

this one is more fashionable (for teenagers)

and there's a very big music CD shop inside

with fancy earphones

back to the place i came and tried to find a dance academy around

cuz i saw 2 around the station when we came

but there's only 2 and no other around

bought my breakfast from a very nice looking bakery

Paris Baguette

very pretty sandwich costed me 4,200won (~RM12)

i hope that it'll be good tasting

and will made me a better Monday

EXTRA :

Night scenery from our room
