10 days left, Jeg vil ha' sol!, Korea, Sne, Snow, Udveksling

I want alllll this way to get a little bit of sunshine, and now: It’s snowing in Korea! WTF. Also, they are promising  – 18 degrees Celsius this weekend. I think I seriously need to buy a pair of gloves, even though I only have 10 days left. Haha. I gotta be ready for the snow games!

Jeg tog heeeele den lange vej over på den anden side af jorden, bare for at få en lille smule sol. Og nu SNER det i Korea. Hvad sker der?? Derudover lover de – 18 grader i weekenden. Jeg skal vist seriøst ud at have købt et par handsker, selvom jeg kun har 10 dage tilbage her. Haha. Jeg skal jo være klar til sneboldkamp!

Just a little peek. Her er et lille kig.

Boots, Høje hæle, Heels, Støvler, Vinter, Winter, ZARA

Just baught new shoes from ZARA. I havn’t used high heels all the time down here, since the rest of the world is soooo low!! But soon, I will go back to the Danish Vikings ❤ And they are taller than me – HAPPY : ) The shoes were really cheap, only 70 USD.

Har lige købt nye sko fra ZARA. Jeg har ikke brugt høje hæle hernede, fordi alle er såååå lave!! Men lige om lidt skal jeg hjem til de danske vikinger ❤ Og de er højere end jeg er  – GLAD : ) Skoene var virkelig billige, kun 400 kroner.

Farewell dinner

Yesterday it was time for farewell dinner. This also means that things are lacking to the end. SO SAD. It was a really great night. Noelle and Sabrina was amazing hosts, having prepared a great show with awards. I was nominee for best hug.. Haha.. I was beaten by another girl, though. Too sad ; ) All in all an amazing night with way too many drinks. Thanks to that, today is a little less amazing.

I går var det tid til afskedsmiddag. Vi var alle i vores fineste outfit og var klar til at have en sidste aften med alle de andre udvekslingsstuderende inden det er tid til eksamen og ultimativt at rejse hjem. Det er selvfølgelig lidt sørgeligt, men jeg glæder mig nu også til at komme hjem til min dejlige familie, kæreste, venner, vaner og traditioner. Ude godt, men hjemme bedst. Lige efter Filippinerne, som jeg skal besøge inden jeg rejser hjem : )
I går aften var en fantastisk aften som var virkelig vel planlagt. Den endte ud i vild fest, hvilket har gjort dagen i dag lidt mindre fantastisk. Haha. Jeg poster lige lidt billeder fra aftenen (før det gik vildt for sig og jeg måtte ligge mit kamera op på værelset, så jeg var sikker på jeg stadig havde et kamera når jeg vågnede i dag).

We are the world

Easy class, We are the world

In my course Cross Culture Management we saw a documentary about the making of the song “We are the world”. It was really cool to see all the biggest ones collected to record one song; Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Diana Ross, Lionel Richie, Bruce Springsteen, Ray Charles and Cyndi Lauper among others. I was really surprised of the story about the making of the song, and I just wanted to recommend you the documentary. You can watch it here. Why we are watching stuff like that in a class is one of bigger mysteries. But hey: I’m not complaining about classes being easy : )

I et af de kurser jeg tager, som hedder Cross Culture Management, så vi en dokumentar omkring produktionen af sangen “We are the world”. Det var faktisk ret cool at se alle de største samlet omkring at lave én sang;  Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Diana Ross, Lionel Richie, Bruce Springsteen, Ray Charles and Cyndi Lauper blandt andre. Jeg var ret overrasket over hvordan sangen kom til verden og hvordan den blev produceret, så jeg ville bare lige anbefale Jer at se dokumentaren (udemærket overspringshandling her i eksamenstiden). Du kan se den her. Hvorfor vi ser sådan nogle ting i vores timer er et større mysterium. Men hey: Jeg klager ikke over lette fag : )

Being 50% Korean

Tags

Billeder, Ego, Funny, Funny Pictures, Pictures, Selfies, Sjove Billeder, Sjovt

As the 50% Korean girl I would like to think I am, I have to live it through completely. This forces me to go to places, where you can take, ehm… Korean pictures of your self and your friends. Or should I say Asian pictures? Well, no matter what it is called, it is quite funny and it’s become my new little hobby. The machine automatically makes your skin brighter and your eyes bigger and you can add eyelashes, hats, text etc. I thought you should all have part of the results, so here you go:

Som den 50% koreanske pige som jeg mener jeg er, er jeg selvfølgelig nødt til at leve det til fulde. Dette tvinger mig til at gå til steder, hvor man kan tage, øhm… koreanske billeder af sig selv og sine venner/veninder. Eller skulle jeg sige asiatiske billeder? Men ligegyldigt hvad det kaldes, er det ret sjovt og er blevet min nye lille hobby. Maskinen man tager billederne med gør automatisk ens øjne større og gør ens hud lysere. Derudover kan man tilføje øjenvipper, hatte, tekst osv. Jeg synes at I alle skal have del i resultatet, så her er de:

As you see the result is obviously perfect : )

Som I ser er resultatet tydeligvis perfekt : )

Project-overload

These days all I ever do is writing projects.. I have to finish two before monday, so no weekend for Kitty Kat. Sad.. Everyone else is going out tonight which just makes the whole situation even worse. But!!! When these two are over after the weekend I will be a happy girl!! Yaaay!!!

I disse dage skriver jeg konstant projekt, da jeg har 2 projekter der skal færdiggøres i denne weekend. Hvad der gør alt endnu værre er at alle andre selvfølgelig skal i byen i aften. Øv!! MEN!!! Efter weekenden er jeg en glad pige Yaaay!!

Tokyo baby..

Went to Tokyo for 3 days – wauw! What an amazing city. We were 5 girls having so much fun – I definitely want to go back to Japan one day. But first, I have to be rich!! Cause it’s f*****g expensive!! We stayed at an amazing hostel which I will gladly recommend to anyone going to Tokyo. It has anything a backpacker would ever want and is 20 euros per night (very cheap for Tokyo). The name of the hostel was Khaosan Tokyo Annex and was situated in Asakusa, Tokyo.

Jeg tog til Tokyo i 3 dage hen over weekenden – Wauw! Hvilken fantastisk by. Vi var 5 piger og vi havde det simpelthen så sjovt sammen. Jeg vil helt sikkert gerne tilbage til Japan en dag, men først skal jeg være rig!! For det er viiiirkelig dyrt!! Vi boede på et fantastisk hostel som jeg vil anbefale alle som besøger Tokyo. Det har alt hvad en backpacker nogensinde kunne ønske sig og det kostede 20 euros per nat for en seng i et dorm-room (hvilket er billigt for Tokyo). Navnet på hostellet et Khaosan Tokyo Annex og ligger i Asakusa, Tokyo.

A picture of the guesthouse we lived in. Et billede af det hostel vi boede i.

Ready for Tokyo!!! Klar til at indtage Tokyo!!

I bought these two. They make sure that I have love and money 🙂 Jeg købte disse to. Den lyserøde sikrer at jeg har kærlighed og den guldfarvede sikrer at jeg har penge.

Cakes with red bean paste. En butik hvor de solgte kager med rød-bønne-pasta indeni. En Japansk speciealitet.

The children get blessed when they are 3, 5 and 7. This is a really cute 3 year old girl, dressed up for her blessing. Børnene bliver velsignet når de er 3,5 og 7. Det her er en virkelig sød 3 årig pige som er klædt fint på til hendes velsignelse.

Buddha.

We saw this insect, which was first decided to be a bird. We never figured out exactly what it was. Dette insekt var først antaget at være en kolibri, og vi fandt aldrig ud af hvad det var. 

Asakusa.

We payed 12 euros for a plate with olives an parma ham. We were expecting a little more than this : )

Tokyo view.

Having wine and snacks in a park.

Prayers. Bønner.

Audi does not only have nice cars, but also nice buildings. Audi har ikke kun fede biler, men også fede bygninger.

Shibuja cross. Friday night at 7 pm. Rush hour. 1000 people crossing every time the light turns green. Quite amazing! Shibuja krydset. Fredag aften klokken 19. 1000 mennesker krydser hver gang lyset bliver grønt. Ret fantastisk.

Lolita girl.

After going out in Shibuja we went directly to the world’s biggest fish market. Is was amazing and quite interesting. It’s a totally different way of life. Efter vi var i byen i Shibuja tog vi direkte hen på verdens største fiskemarked. Det var fantastisk og ret interessant. Det er en helt anden måde at leve sit liv på.

Amazingly there was a kitchen at the hostel, which meant that we could make our own food for the first time in three months. See, THAT was amazing : ) På helt fantastisk vis var der et køkken på vores hostel, hvilket betød at vi kunne lave vores egen mad for første gang i tre måneder. Se dét var fantastisk!

So if anyone wonders if Tokyo is great, I can tell you that IT IS! But I must say, that I am happy that I am studying in Seoul. Living in Tokyo would have put a lot of constraints of partying and doing what you want to, because everything is so expensive. Travelling there was amazing though.

Så hvis der er nogen der undrer sig, og tænker om Tokyo er en fantastisk by, kan jeg fortælle Jer at det er den!! Men jeg må sige, at jeg er glad for at det er Seoul jeg studerer i, og ikke Tokyo. At bo i Tokyo sætter begrængsninger på fester og generelt på at gøre hvad du vil fordi alt er så dyrt. At rejse der kan dog klart anbefales!

12 days with Mr. Right

12 days has passed since my boyfriend Peter arrived at Incheon airport. That also means that he left this morning, which is really sad. But life goes on and we both have things to do, and it’s only 5 weeks until we see each other again. YAY. We visited the DMZ, watched baseball, watched a football game at the world cup stadium, went to the N Seoul Tower, Shopped at a HUGE outlet mall in Paju, watched the palace, went to Daegu and Gyoungju (South east of South Korea) and a whole lot more. Most importantly I enjoyed every second! I wanna post some pictures of my time here in Seoul with Peter.

Så er der gået 12 dage siden min kæreste Peter ankom i Incheon Lufthavn. Det betyder samtidig at han forlod Seoul denne morgen hvilket er virkelig trist. Livet går videre og vi har begge ting at se til hvor vi nu befinder os og heldigvis ses vi om kun 5 uger hvor jeg vender snuden mod Danmark. JUHU! Vi har besøgt grænsen mellem Nord- og Sydkorea (The DMZ), vi har set baseballkamp og fodboldkamp på world cup stadium (VM 2002). Vi var i N Seoul Tower, shoppede i et KÆMPE outlet center i en by som hedder Paju, vi så et paladserne her i Seoul og vi besøgte den syd-østlige del af Sydkorea, nærmere bestemt byerne Daegu og Gyoungju. Vigtigst af alt har jeg nydt hvert sekund! Jeg vil lige vise lidt billeder fra mine dage i Seoul sammen med Peter.

View over North Korea. Udsigt over Nordkorea.

South meets North. Syd møder Nord.

Ready for sight seeing. Klar til sight seeing.

Visiting the palace. Besøg på paladset.

Mmmmhhhh…

From one of the most famous temples in Korea. Colors were amazing. Fra et af de mest kendte templer i Korea, farverne var fantastiske.

That’s all for now. Det var alt for nu.

Halleluja it’s fall!

Today i went to Yoido Full Gospel Church. That was something else! 15,000 people were inside the church, praising god, jesus and some were crying while doing it. Halleluja, amen! : ) There was a gospel choir of 150 people, and the church is the world biggest with 780,000 members!!

After the church Emilie and I went to a near by park which was simply wonderful. The leaves are falling from the trees now, so we had to take the classic fall pictures. And you guys have to see them ; )

I dag var jeg i Yoido Full Gospel Church. Det var alligevel specielt! 15.000 mennesker var samlet inde i kirken. De bad til Gud og Jesus og nogle græd mens de gjorde det. Halleluja, amen! : ) Der var et gospelkor på 150 mennesker (mænd, kvinder og børn), og kirken er verdens største med 780.000 medlemmer!

Efter kirken tog Emilie og Jeg til en nærtliggende park, hvilket var virkelig vidunderligt. Bladene fra træerne er ved at falde af nu, så vi var selvfølgelig nødt til at tage nogle klassiske efterårsbilleder. Og i er nødt til at se dem ; )

Inside the church. Inde i kirken.

All the donations given through the ceremony are collected. Alle pengene som blev samlet ind under ceremonien bliver her samlet.

The service was translates to other languages. Gudstjenesten blev oversat til andre sprog.

Following pictures are form inside the park. Følgende billeder er fra parken.

Old meets new. Gammelt møder nyt.

That’s all for now. Det var alt for nu.

Volunteering in Seoul

Feed your Seoul, Seoul, Volunteering

So today was the day where Emilie & I went to volunteer. We were helping to serve dinner for homeless people here in Seoul and it was an amazing and very interesting experience. I hope to volunteer again! It was a community center where they serve food every day, and also the homeless people can come there to shower etc. It was only for men (there are others for women) and you basically just go there and eat, you don’t have to prove that you are homeless or anything like that. It is funded by the Korean Government and it is organized by a church. The arrangement began after the Asian crisis in 1997 (which reminds a little about the European crisis right now). What was especially surprising for me was that the men who where there mostly looked like any other korean. Sure, they were not wearing suits, but they where dressed in normal clothes, and didn’t look significantly different than most other koreans. They were very polite and sweet. The whole thing took at most one hour, so it was very efficient – I think it is like that because they do it every day. There are routines for everything. I couldn’t take pictures while the homeless were there, but I took some after they left. Hope you liked my story.

Så i dag var dagen hvor Emilie og Jeg var frivillige arbejdere i et køkken for hjemløse. Det var en fantastisk og meget givende oplevelse. Jeg håber meget jeg får muligheden for at gøre det igen! Det var på et “community center” hvor de serverer mad hver dag, og derudover kan de hjemløse også gå i bad der osv. Det var kun for mænd (der er andre steder for kvinder) og du kan komme der uden noget bevis for at du er hjemløs eller i nød eller lignende. Det er finansieret af staten og organiseret af en kirke. Arrangementet begyndte i 1997 efter den asiatiske krise (som minder lidt om krisen i Europa lige nu). Hvad der var specielt overraskende for mig var, at mændende lignede de fleste andre koreanere og de var meget høflige og søde. Det tog alt i alt omkring en times tid, så det var meget efficient – jeg tror det er fordi de gør det hver dag. Men det var meget værdigt, og det var det vigtigste for mig. Jeg måtte ikke fotografere mens de hjemløse var der, men jeg tog lidt billeder efter de var gået. Jeg håber I kunne lide min historie.
