Walk to SKKU

We tried walking from our dorm to SKKU, and its really really awefully far! at least 30mins walk, and we spent like an entire hour just walking around the school becos its so huge, its really big, with so many faculties and there are so many slopes, uphills and downhills here and there... there's just a really huge amount of walking to be done. And there are also lots and lots of shops throughout the entire journey, just think heeren times 1000, all the shops are really interesting and nice, i took quite a number, so have fun browsing!

This is a family mart just opposite our dorm from where i'm standing. Its sort of like a 7 eleven convenience store.

And from here on, i'll just show u some pictures i took along the way from the dorm to school.

Oh and these kind of flowers? There are a bunch like this at every lamppost.

And i think this is like a side gate to one of the palace along the way, i'll try and go visit it soon!

Oh and look at this, one of the trees, weird trunk right?

And this is another part of the palace i think, the main entrance is under renovations.

And we also pass by a science museum along the way...

From here on, i think we are moving into the smaller streets.

Basically there will be these kind of shop houses along the way to school. Its like the entire stretch of streets, and they have really cool shops. Their cake shops are really nice too! i didn't get to take a pic, but i'll take lots more throughout the semester =)

So now, we proceed on to an intersection between the streets. Actually according the survival kit that SIM gave us, we were supposed to walk along this route, BUT, we realised that we could have walked further down the street and get to the main gate of the school. So when we continue on along this way, its like an uphill climb and we end up at the side gate to the law faculty instead. Take a look!

Tada! That's the side gate i was talking about, from now on, i'll be showing u pictures i've took of the campus, i think i gave Willette some, but i'll post up everything anyway.

This is the LAW faulty!

This is the soccer field.

Basketball court

This is called the Hoam Hall i think, not sure what is it used for yet.

I think its not very visible, but there's this board some where in the middle, its actually like those big lcd screens that you see on suntec.

This is kind of like a lounge area for students i think.

And this will be where we'll have our orientation on monday.

Looks cool right? This 600th anniversary building will be where we'l lhave to meet first. So we'll be like having orientation at 930, then we'll have classes at 130 if i'm not wrong.

And there you see, we have to walk all the way down....

This is directly outside school, after making it all the way down, i'm taking this pic from the main gate. So you will just see this kind of little shops everywhere down the entire street. Really cool.

And then we went to a mini mart, and these are what i found =)

I think these are really fascinating man. Oh and even with soleha around, it seems like people assume we can speak korean, which is really weird... even though we converse around loudly in english so that they know, but nope, they assume we know how to speak korean.
