i'm back in finland. the last two weeks in south korea have been amazing. i'm tired and i have no power to unpack.

i have two weeks before academic year starts. i should get my pens and notebooks ready :)

i've always liked august. the heat is calming down and days are more enjoyable. the evenings are still warm yet you can feel that autumn is coming soon. i have two weeks left in korea. i will make sure to get best out of them.

today was one of those days when nothing really happened but i was in a good mood and smiling all the time.

in eleven minutes it is going to be already tomorrow. hopefully as good as today. good night.

oz's kitchen. randomly picked pizzeria in samcheong dong that turned out to be fully vegetarian (vegan by request). what a luck! the place was really cozy. i had mushroom spaghetti. yum.

i've never lived in a dormitory until this summer. i was quite excited about it and i imagined i would have the best roommate ever and we would become bff. the reality turned out to be quite the opposite. im really thankful to sony for their noise cancellation earphones. despite all the downsides, i enjoy this experience (especially now when my roommate moved out). my favorite part of dorm life are night talks on the roof with quite a nice view over suwon city.


welcome to my room.


it's very small and there is no intimacy whatsoever. my bed is on the left.


the other side of my room. two beds, two desks, two closets. that's it.


the kitchen. my room is right opposite to it. i don't get people that cook at 2 a.m. and don't bother to close the door.


the fridge is always full.


all the food has to be labeled or otherwise it will be thrown away by cleaning ladies.


the washroom.

next time i would choose 4-bed-room. the rooms are bigger and it sounds like more fun.

my new hobby is to wander around on streets of seoul and discover new places.

there are a few areas in seoul which i truly love. one of them is samcheongdong. the place is full of little cafes, art galleries, boutiques and street vendors. perfect place to spend your sunday afternoon with friends.

last week i took a road trip to the southern part of the south korea. i was surprised how different it was compared to seoul. the sky was everyday blue, the traffic was okay and there was much less people. and mountains. there were mountains everywhere! in one village where i stayed overnight, at 4 am a song was played to wake up everybody. the day starts there a bit earlier. people had much darker skin and often didn't cover themselves from the sun as much as in seoul. they were also very friendly and kind. it was a really nice experience.
