As time goes by

Trying to continue to tell you asian stories or at least what's happening in my seoulite life.

So first, I need to write something about my crazy trip to Malaysia (probably the next article will be entirely devoted to that subject) and also to the life here in Seoul, which is always moving and changing.

I went back to Seoul last Sunday, and for 5 days, I've been doing soooo many things

I've been to a baseball match Seoul Bears vs. Eagles (from ??? couldn't understand, everything was in korean, sorry folks ...). The Seoul team is also sponsored by Doosan which is one of the biggest korean compagny. Also the bears are the most supported team in all Korea (especially Seoul). Baseball is kind of a national sport here, I mean it's almost like soccer in France. So this game was really nice because I saw all the supporters always singing and shouting "doosan whoohouhouuuuuuuu. That was quite funny.

Then, from May 17th to 20th, there is the Hanyang Festival. Crazy korean could be the best word to define that festival. During the day almost everything is all right and still normal. People are going to school, they still look like "normal" students, but after 4pm, they become totally unleashed and wasted HAHAH so funny.

So the festival is all about foods, drinks, and concerts. That so great, because there are lots of kind of tent circus, where students sell grilled sausages, cocktails, kimbap and other korean food, fruits .... there are also plenty of tables, in order to let the students eat there all together. The atmosphere is so different from the one which exists before and after the festival.

Also, concerning concerts, there is a kind of competition between the best universities of Seoul to have the most famous stars on stage. This year, I'm proud of it (yeaaaah) I have to say (and it's not that subjective because I also talk about that with korean students) that Hanyang univ. was beyond my expectations. There are lots of famous singers in Korea, but Hanyang gets the best : Girls' Generation.

In fact, it's easy, K pop is ok, I mean it's not that bad, and it's sometimes really funny, briefly I like it. I don't know a lot of korean groups, but the fact I know girls' generation. So attend a free concert in Hanyang of Girls' generation was really crazy.
