This entry is about my place of residence for first 4 days of stay in Korea.

It has been an enjoyable time staying with a Korean friend whom I can communicate with rather well since he is able to converse in English and Chinese. Although there are some breakdowns when he fails to comprehend my Singaporean English. And likewise, I cant make out his Korean English. In such cases, we make assumptions/ guesses of what we were trying to tell each other.

Since I have arrived, I have been exposed to the way Koreans go about their day to day activities, their food preferences, their quirks, their love for drinking, singing.

I have exposed myself in many ways. Including public bathhouses, which I have never done so, in sg. But I believe there are still many facets of the Korean culture that I have yet to discover.

Heres some photos of my friend's room.

My friend insists that I sleep on his bed…while he sleeps on the floor. I really need to thank him for his hospitality.


My stuff encroaching into his private space. His room is equipped with a mini-kitchen, which is good for doing light cooking. Most Korean males can cook. And they usually settle at least a meal at home, since eating out can be rather expensive.

Lastly,
The girl who accompanies me to bed every night.

Haha.
