Yesterday evening and this morning was filled with conversation about the hospitality and kindness of the Korean students we met. It sounded like everyone had a wonderful time getting to know each other! After a small breakfast, and a stop by Paik’s Coffee, we headed to the bottom floor of the dormitory building for an Orientation meeting. Dr. Paik, Dr. Duh, and Dr. Rodriguez. The orientation covered what our schedule would look like for the upcoming week. We also discussed important guidelines for the week, including professionalism and expected behavior as we head into the classrooms. I am really looking forward to what this week will look like!
We had lunch in the cafeteria, then the group split up to take advantage of our free time. We’ve all quickly been adapting to Daejeon, and have taught each other important skills to get around. For example, we all stopped by a convenience store to make sure everyone knew how to purchase a T Money card to use for the bus. With bus fare squared away, we hopped on the 103 bus to Euneungjeongi SkyRoad. The shopping street was bustling with people, and we were excited to dive in and out of different air conditioned stores. Our group enjoyed playing Taiko no Tatsujin at an arcade, looking at adorable puppies and kittens, and checking out art at a street market. For dinner, we headed to the second floor of one of the buildings to try Jajang Myeon, a tasty noodle dish. Though we were a big group, the very kind waitress helped us get seated and order using the kiosk. She even helped me make sure I found something I could eat as I do not eat meat. We then hopped on the bus back and into the dormitory. Graciela and I got the opportunity to participate in a conference with Woosong University and other international universities! So we spent our evening writing up abstracts. Such is the life of a graduate student! -Danica
