Day 35 - Socializing in Sinchon

Today was the last day of class for the week and luckily it went by painlessly! After class, I went with two girls from my World History class to go get 팥빙수 (pronounced like "paht bing soo"), which is a Korean desert made of shaved ice usually including 팥 ("paht") which is sweetened azuki beans. We got coffee chocolate bingsu and regular patbingsu. Both of them were really tasty!

 

A picture I found online of coffee chocolate bingsu and another picture of regular patbingsu.

One of the girls had to leave early so I went with the other girl to Daiso, which is a dollar store, to buy some stuff I needed. After Daiso we parted ways and I headed back to the university.

After I got back to the dorm, I went and ate lunch with my roommate because bingsu is not very filling (it's just made of shaved ice!). We went to one of the school restaurants and I had jeyook bokkeum, one of my favorite Korean foods (spicy pork with rice).

I headed back to the dorm and took a nap because the afternoon sun was exhausting! After I got up from my nap I spent some time planning for my trip that I am taking to Busan this weekend.

Around 7:30, I went with a friend to a restaurant that we frequently visit and I've mentioned in a post before. We call it The Barracks and now I understand why: the restaurant is called 내무반 식당 (pronounced nay-moo-bawn sheek-tong), which means Barracks Restaurant in English. The Barracks is a Korean barbecue place that has a bunch of Korean flags hanging outside and plays nationalist music on loud speakers. We got samgyeopsal, which is like giant pieces of bacon. It was delicious, as usual!

After dinner, we went and met up with two other friends from Yonsei and played games in an arcade together until it closed and we went home for the night.

That's all!
