Reviving the blog!

Hey everyone!

I am reviving the blog with a different title and username. I realize that I didn't write much in my last exchange and why waste a perfectly good website by making a new blog when I have one made already? Therefore this blog will be forever be my either exchange/overseas adventures. As long as I am still in school, I feel like I will be embracing any and every exchange opportunity I can get!
So this time, I will be leaving for South Korea. In particularly Seoul. This time it will be a university exchange and I will be gone for year. At first I applied, thinking I wouldn't get accepted. Really to be honest, I am only a second year student and I am competing agains other third or fourth year students who really want to embark on an exchange. However, I did get in and now I am only 7 days away from my departure from Vancouver Airport.
Unlike my exchange to Japan, this time, because I am a university student (meaning slightly older), all the process and details are up to me to handle. So from the handling with the VISA's, applying to the university abroad all the way to transfer credits between courses and many other details.
As I read back to my entries while I was in Japan, I realize I wasn't as helpful or detailed when it comes to documenting and explaining my experience as I didn't update as often. I will update this a lot more frequently as this time I will be bringing my own laptop. From time to time I will post up a video or a vlog when I am lazy to write. 
Right now I am still in Canada but this is more like an intro post to what is going to happen soon and to look forward to it. When the sun is up and when I have time and sleep, I will talk about the process as a university exchange student. What needs to be done or researched. As I feel like my blog might help other university students who are thinking on going on an exchange someday.
So therefore, bookmark this blog and look forward to future posts.
I am super excited yet nervous about this journey to Seoul but I will embrace it with the same spirit as when I went to Japan. (^0^)b

Until closer to the departure date.

Jeju Island

Last weekend, my friend and I and her family went to Jeju island. Since my friend and I still have school we decided to only stay for 2 nights and 3 days. Her family was going to stay a couple more days than us. However, first we arrived in Jeju at around noon and met the tour guide. Since there was 6 of us all together one of us had to sit in the back. My friend's sister did it on the first day. Once we arrived, we wanted lunch and we ate some galbitang. Galbitang is basically rib soup? or beef soup? They stick a piece of meat in a soup and you add salt and pepper to your own desire. It's very bland without salt and pepper and without all the side dishes they provide you. Since my friend's parents are not good with the spicy foods. Galbitang was good but it took a lot of time to eat. On the way to our pension or resort house thing?, or the place we were going to stay over at, we stopped by the beach and took some pictures. The view was beautiful and the color of the ocea...

M! Countdown + JJ PROJECT!!!

So... today. I decided to not go to class at all because I needed to see JJ Project's debut stage in person. Yes. I went to see this performance in person. It was completely worth it! JJ Project had a pre-recording, so it was nice to have their debut stage with only their fans. The time that was indicated on their fan cafe was at 9:30 but my friend and I came at around 8:30am. We got our numbers after sending in our names to the fan manager and I was originally number 15 but when it was time to line up again at 11:00, I was pushed up to number 11! We were given blue JYP wrist bands and the fan managers wrote our numbers on it. They also handed out the fan chants, a temporary large JJ Project banner AND they handed out a stamp card. The stamp card is really motivating me to go and see them for every performance. I brought my own and good thing we were allowed to use them. (Since some fan clubs are more anal about it then others.)    We got inside around 11:30 but we ...
