As we arrived at Incheon’s BIG and WIDE Airport, my beloved adviser /English professor/ mentor/ one of my inspirations/ my mommy at school, Miss Gwen welcomed us with Dr.Lee and Miss Shan, an alumna of my dear St. Paul University-Manila. I already noticed Miss Gwen in the outskirts of Koreans waiting at the Arrival Area. I haven’t seen her for quite sometime and she hugged me and the others. We exchanged our dollars to won and lo and behold I feel like I won the lottery, I have 250,000+++ Won. Well it’s nothing. ^^ The value is not really high because you cannot buy anything worth 500 won but a can of soda.
While on our way to the school...I feel this kind of dejavu... I dreamed before this Korea-tour started...I already dream about this place...I never knew or even imagine that ONE DAY I will be here in this very place...
We rode the bus of the University that we will practically staying, Kyungdong University. Well, Kyungdong University (KDU) is located at Sokcho, Gangwon-do, South Korea. KDU is almost 2-3 hours drive. First thing’s first. I slept at the bus. Actually, I find a hard time sleeping at the bus and it was very nostalgic because the upholstery of the bus is really similar to the upholstery of the bus that I was riding when I’m commuting from home to school and vice versa.
We stopped for breakfast in their MCDONALDS! Yes, McDonalds. I always encounter McDonalds. Breakfast at McDonalds Hong-Kong 3 years ago, Dinner at McDonalds Macau last year, Breakfast at McDonald’s Cebu last year, and ALMOST EVERYDAY LUNCH AT MCDONALD’S ROBINSON’S PLACE ERMITA MANILA LAST SEMESTER. ^^ I honestly wanted to eat at McDonalds than to suffer. Their HASHBROWN is better than ours! Their pancakes were great too!
BELIEVE IT OR NOT THIS MCDO IS LOCATED IN SOUTH KOREA ^^ I honestly remembered Sheldon Cooper of the Big Bang Theory wearing this kind of fashion. Long sleeves with shirt on top. ^^
The weather was really nice. It was cold and I’m loving it.
KDU was like a place where they shoot these academe-scenes in Korean dramas. It was really huge. The facilities were really awesome. It’s like Shinhwa University in the Korean drama Boys Before Flowers. (Although the real location of Shinhwa University or should I say Keimyung University was in Daegu, South Korea). We stayed in the girl’s dormitory for a while to rest.
Here's a glimpse of KDU...
Who will not be in love with this school? MIND YOU(again) this is just their University Library.
(I’ll share our trip to the KDU Lake and the Endless Love: Autumn in My Heart Filming Site TOMORROW!)
