I am obsessed with this area in Seoul called Sam Chung Dong. It's not too far from Yonsei University. If you take the 3 line subway, and get off at either Anguk or Gyeongbukgoong, you just have to walk a little to find this wonderful little neighborhood. Instead of finding bars, here you will find the cutest cafes which make the most delicious of waffles and desserts. The price is pretty expensive, though, I must admit. I ate at Palette with my cousin the other day and had a macaroon set for about 7,000 won (~$7) and coffee for 5,000 (~$5) each. I love the atmosphere though. They also have plenty of girly shoes stores if you want to buy a pair of heels. You have to want to explore the little alley ways to discover these stores. If you are a coffee lover, like I am, you will definitely enjoy this area. I've already been here twice and hope to go back again when I get some free time.
During the past weekend, I went to tour the Blue House, which is the equivalent of our White House. The property itself is really big. However, we weren't able to go inside any of the buildings and they were very strict on when we could take pictures. That part wasn't that fun. I felt too touristy.
My internship has been going well. I was scheduled to do a presentation today and was all suited up but it was postponed until next week. I will have to present really early in the morning 7:30-8:30am time frame on their weekly Tuesday morning meetings. I also got a personal project for myself which involves me writing at 10 page paper.....I am dreading this. But my director wants to send this paper to international organizations around the world and so if this were to really happen...this would be great opportunity to have my name published on an actual document.
Okay, my apologies for not have a huge update prepared. I'm finding it hard to fit in time to sit down and write everything out. For now, please enjoy the pictures!
