Destination 5.2.3 : UCDC + Gmarket + Drinking Culture

March 13th

It's another sunday

since i didn't really go out yesterday

today is a must...

so we separated into 2 groups today

my group with Yvonne, CJ and ZJ went to the city

and the rest went hiking with seniors

hiking was sort of a last minute plan actually

i just couldn't make it else i'll go hiking also

so where we went actually

Hyundai Dept at Beomil Station

This is 1/4 of Lotte Dept we went last week

small right...

what we were looking was actually event hall only

cuz they're cheaper

and i bought a cap in the dept

then we went out to find other interesting place to visit

the gold theme street

the 1st thing came into my mind was

they decorate the whole street with gold color decor

but it's a street of selling gold accessories

we didn't went there since we don't need it

then other places recommended in the map was kinda...

shopping street i guess so we didn't walk also

we walked till the tools market

and it's already closed

it's a place of selling hardware only

behind there was a street of restaurant

then we walked to Busanjin Market

a very scary old looking building

inside looks scary also...

it's a very good place to play hide and seek btw

inside is bunch of stalls selling old people clothes at the 2nd floor

then a lot of korean traditional costume below

i'm thinking of getting one for myself when it's time to leave Korea

Dinner for the day

Kyouchon Chicken

Fried one is still delicious...

went back to Hyundai Dept to buy breakfast for next day

saw very nice looking korean snacks

bought 2 for 5,000 won

then 2 random breads for 2,500won

14th

had stomach cuz of eating the snack for breakfast...

it's made of glutinous rice

this week is just lab everyday + korean classes till Friday

15th

The sky looked creepy in the morning

17th

Mengwei (Zhengjing's GF) came to Busan

She's here to evacuate from Tokyo

she'll be back again when everything is back to normal

Gmarket :

This week was busying visiting this page

http://english.gmarket.co.kr/

Korean online shopping site

there's few really nice design shirt i wanna buy

some are really cheap also

but i wonder which should i get...

Main Attraction of the week :

UCDC

Got a msg from Pola through FB about UCDC

i didn't really the mail cuz they typed my mail wrongly >.<

when we understand the message (it was tuesday)

we missed the meeting on monday

but then there's an orientation on friday

went to their room on Friday 1pm and they took us to a hall

so they're having sort of club performance

every club is attending this event

with the new student council introduction i guess

i skipped my lab after lunch for this >.<

but i worked there non-stop since 1st day

so i guess it should be okay

then we chatted with seniors and learn a bit about UCDC

oh ya... UCDC is a dancing society in Dongseo University

they have really a lot of members

around 40 members for activities

not like what we get in Malaysia

Pola, Suzanna and Max are joining this club too

stayed there watching performances and games

korean traditional drum performance

taekwondo performance

people who survived the games will get vouchers i guess

what we actually waited is the last performance by UCDG

from here i could know what kind of dance they do

they performed a lot of shows and it's the finale of the event

now i've learnt something new

broadcasting dance

it's actually dancing mimicking K-Pop Video

they did breakdance, there's only 2 bboy in the club

girls was having sexy dance

+ a lot of broadcasting dance

i only recorded video

so there's no photos for this

they were really awesome and cool

i'll upload the videos if it is allowed

(need to get permission from them)

then... after session?

learn a lot about their culture

members in the club are ranked

and juniors are sit in a group and seniors the other

no mixing is allowed

the appetizer, i guess it's bug

before we started eating

we introduce ourselves to everybody

then there's a drinking session (cheers?) with everyone

then for soju

when you are pouring soju

the other one should hold their cup

and you cannot pour to yourself

we learnt a lot of drinking games here

for some of them, i've learnt last week

but something different is

the way they started the game is different

everybody is doing some kind of routine and the game is started

with the loser from the previous game

mentioned what he wanna play this round

so the game is randomly played

new games are

-> hand of 5

- let say 5 of your fingers are your lives

- they'll mention a description and if you match with the description minus 1 life

- people with no more life will need to drink

-> rhythm game

- do the routine with 4 count in each routine

- you are going to speak a word with the beat

- number of word speak increases from round to round

- this is hard to explain... i'll just skip this then

Culture of paying

- we (as juniors) paid 10,000 won for the 1st session

- so seniors no need to pay this round

- 2nd round will be paid by the seniors and juniors no need to pay

- 3rd round unknown

1st round will be drinking Soju

2nd round will be drinking Makori (Korean traditional rice wine)

3rd round will be singing Karaoke

then 2nd round

went to drink Makori

their Makori tasted better

it's kind of their cocktail we drank

they mixed makori with cider

and it's really cold

makori is drink with bowl

and you cannot have people's bowl empty

you need to fill them up if they're empty

we went back after the 2nd session

because Suzzana and Pola need to go back already

suzzana drank quite a lot and i guess she's drunk LOL

so i just accompanied them back

BTW we had a lot of fun

met a lot of new friends

and really appreciate it

Here's the problem:

Dancing class is every weekday

from 6 to 8, 35,000 won

but...

korean class is every tues and thurs

they crashed together

so i need to pick one of them

i didn't plan to go for both actually

if i'm going to korean class

then i just need to apply the gym membership

but most probably...

i'll drop korean language class

cuz i can learn korean in UCDG also i guess

but i'll need to ask for suggestion from my mom

today is saturday

i guess i'll post today event to next post then
