Observations

I noticed today that local people are very friendly, traffic is chaotic and food is a mystery. I ate some interesting local food for lunch today, which tasted like fish but didn't seem like that, and I got lost to the center of Busan. After walking around more than four hours, I decided to go to the McDonalds instead of having a free dinner at the university. The diner is open 24/7, and BigMac with french fries and Coke costs only 5000 won here, which is like 3,5 euros, so I will surely visit McDonalds here again.

After reading the instructions of my dormitory, I am now aware that violence, gambling and robbery are prohibited. Damn. Someone could also enlighten me by explaining the following instruction: "Use supplies you need after you buy them by yourself".

Skype is working slower today since more people are moving in. I have also a problem with paying the dormitory fee. Last day to pay it is tomorrow, which seems like a bit too soon since I arrived here yesterday, and transferring the money from Finland can take up to five days. Oh, and the bill seems quite large: 1668770 wons for this semester :) obviously that's not much. It is only about 313 euros a month and it includes the apartment with water and heat, and three meals a day.

That's about it for today.
