"woah. why?"
This is the reaction I get from people when I tell them that I’m going to South-Korea to study. They all seem very surprised and curious as to why I’ve chosen to go that far, and also why I want to study korean, but there are really a lot of good reasons for it.
First of all, I love Korea. For a long time I’ve been really fascinated by anything Korea-related, and therefore...
I’ll be in Seoul this Friday, how amazingly great is that? :D
Today I tasted my first ever frappuccino. I guess this will be the new trend for coffee-lovers in Norway, we don’t usually have any fancier coffee than mocca or just plain iced coffee.

Just the visa takes up to 11 days to get, and in addition I have to add a few days for sending everything by mail to the korean embassy in...

Most of what needs to be fixed for my studies in Korea has been fixed now, so it feels like a lot of weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
