Lazy Update #8 Part 1 is HERE
Continuing on...
Friday was pretty quiet during the daytime. I didn't have much to do except wait for the ROYAL WEDDING. Did you watch it? I know there are some people who were like "Stop broadcasting it already!" while others were really, really excited. I wasn't either of them. I just wanted to see what people were wearing and what the wedding gown would look like. I actually missed the dress (but I saw it later) because I had to go to my class, where the professor invited us out for dinner and drinks instead.
Let me just say this: Koreans are masters of drinking. Like, even the Germans would be beaten by Koreans because while Germans probably stop at their limit, Koreans go wayyy past their limit.
Anyway, we had Korean barbeque with lots of meat and vegetables whilst drinking. I don't normally drink that much, so when the professor went 'Bottoms up!' on the first drink I almost cried. It was a very interesting experience. The lecturers back at home will be okay for a drink or two outside of classroom hours, but none of them would ever pay for a dinner and drinks, as well as invite the whole class back to their home some other day and even initiate a 'sleepover'.
Saturday was turning out to be the worst day ever until night time so I'll keep the recap of daytime events short. The international team from Samil Church gathered together to practise for the connection party coming up on Sunday, and we rehearsed what we would do and also decorated the room. At night time, I went out with a group of friends to watching Thor. I was initially debating whether to go or not because of my mood and because the weather was really bad, but I'm soo glad I went. The movie was pretty good, but the best part about the night was the company.
On Sunday, we had the International Samil Church Connection Party. The party turned out to be a good success. We had lots of new people come and it was fun to be able to show that Christians aren't just stick-to-the-Bible-party-poopers at all. I had volunteered to be in the performance part of the party, so that meant I was signed up for modelling in the cultural fashion show. I've never ever modelled before so it was kind of awkward when we were rehearsing, but luckily it got better when we actually had to walk in front of everyone. The outfits were mainly Korean and African style, but there was one girl who wore a 'ninja-inspired-space-looking' outfit.

I left the party straight after it finished because I was meeting up with other friends to go to ice-skating and bowling in Lotte World! It was my first time in Lotte World, and after hearing so much about it and seeing it in dramas and variety shows, I'm glad I got to go there. Ice skating was fun but tiring. We didn't realise that we had to have gloves before we entered the ring, so there was a bunch of foreigners scrambling around for cash in front of the glove machine right next to the entrance. Probably would have been a funny sight for the local people.
After that we went bowling and then had some dinner. The dinner was so yummy. It was 보쌈 bo ssam - meat and lots and lots of vegetables. Some of the guys didn't join us for dinner because they were doing something else (no idea what), so by the time they came to the restaurant we were almost finished. They had to sit there waiting for us while watching us eat all that delicious food. Poor boys.
To end the day, a little group of us went to have Sangria and honey bread in the little cafe near our university campus. It was the perfect way to round out the day. Two of the girls had brought their Go, Stop! (Korean card game which you see every ahjumma playing in the dramas) cards so I finally learnt how to play. It's pretty simple to learn up till the point system, to which I still have no idea how to count.
