Discover Seoul #03: Anam dong- Where I live, eat and meet
It is October 11th already and I expected (cold) fall weather. But instead, it is still over 20°C and I really enjoy this nice summer weather. What I like about Seoul and especially the Anam Street, where I am living right now, is that I never have to worry about what to eat. With more than 100 restaurants and cafés in the quarter, I have the choice of employment: Korean food, Korean Chinese food, curry, pizza or pasta places or burgers. My favourite? Korean barbecue for sure! And I only need at most 10 minutes to all these restaurants! Even my university is only 10 minutes by walk. That seems to be really comfortable and I really like to keep my life on like this. hahahha
Cosmetics shops everywhere! In front of my dorm, there is "Etude House", the pink shop and I always can hear the loud music in my room. By the way: The cosmetic shops always close at 11pm. Anyway, I´ve never been shopping that late in Germany and I love it! :D
Really funny that there are deliveries from McDonald´s. It´s next to my dormitory. Maybe I should order something if I am too lazy to go out. But I hate the food there. So, I would never do it. And yeah: They have spicy burgers.
That is the view when I go out of my dormitory and look to the right. Do you see all the cables at the top? I was really scared about that.
One of the most important services, Korea has got, are the convenience stores "Seven 11", "C4U" and others. If I am too lazy to go to the supermarket, I make a little shopping there. But it is more expensive than to go to a normal supermarket, of course.
My dormitory: It starts at the 4th floor and on the 7th floor there is the kitchen. I really like the kitchen. When I first searched for the dorm, I really couldn´t find it because I espected something else. But it looks nicer and more comfortable inside than it looks like from the outside. The restaurant in our dorm is also really recommendable. Anyways, I can smell the food every day in my room and I like it. hahahah
Everybody loves DAISO, including me! It is similiar to an 1€-shop but their sortiment is much better! And you can buy (for Western people) crazy stuff there like shampoo paper, a paper which turns into shampoo when you drop some water on it. Now I can understand all the Koreans who were really disappointed about the German 1€-shops! I would never go shopping there in Germany.
Do you see it? "Garten Bier"? They always make those funny mistakes and I am not sure if it is on purpose. And "Cafe school" shall represent a German café...
...But please, do not use the Google translator for translating any Korean text into German! I laughed when I read this and cannot count how many mistakes there are.
Always when I have class at 2pm and don´t eat lunch with my friends or the KUBA (Korea University Buddy Assistants) members, these crossroads get on my nerves because I always have to hurry up to go there. Wating at the traffic lights there, takes so much time and I wished I could cross the streets like in Vietnam. Yeah, I know that I only need 10 minutes to get to the Business buildings.
My favourite bread shop but why are the best "sandwiches" always sold out when I arrive?
Where I have my "Korean Speaking" course.
Korea University- main gate. Last time, the KUBA members ordered Chinese food to the campus and we ate it on the meadow.
I´ve already been there 5 times and it is Japanese food. Good that it is only 2 minutes walk from my dorm.
Emart, I love you! Emart is comparable with the supermarket "Kaufland" in Germany but a bit bigger. The straws with some sweet things inside are so fancy. I tried "Vitamin C Yogurt" and it is so fun to drink milk with it. Nutella is so expensive :// 6,600 Won are 4.70€.
I was a bit lazy taking photos of my uni and will show you some more and beautiful places on campus later.
