고고 Go!

(Go, Go, Go) 

It is back to Tuesday. Those of you who read all my entries will know on what I will say. Yes you right it is back to hard study day. Therefore let’s skip the day light part as nothing special has happen.
In the evening it did. I walked back to pick up my girlfriend and seen some drummers at the bus terminal of KNU practising and now I knew where the sound and what sound come from. I asked them on when they will perform and they mention Saturday. They did tell me that actually right now their friends do have a performance in the stage. I therefore quickly gone and pick up my girlfriend and we went to the show of “Go Go Go”.



There was an interesting drum play and traditional into modern Korean music had been played.  It was very nice and very well done. It is great to see on what Korean students are able to do while studying very hard for their degree. They still do have free time to perform and practise for shows.  They do not spend all their time in library as it is mainly presumed in the UK.

I really much enjoyed the Korean style of classical sounds, as it is more energetic as western style. I need to be honest, even though I like classical music it sometimes put me to sleep as it relax you, but in Korean style it is powerful and active as we been given for the second half light sticks to wave around during the performance.

KNU AO Summer Concert

The Friday has started not early as I don’t have any lesson on Fridays.  At lunch time I had meet up with my friend our friend and a person who will join Newcastle Business School (NBS) this coming up January. He already had been in touch with a student from Northumbria who spend last year here in KNU and also a member of staff of NBS. He asked me just a few questions more on the student life aspect and what to take care off on arrival.

I could not stay long for lunch as in the afternoon I had the internship orientation and also needed to fill out a few visa documents with the International office.  I am glad that I had revised my CV before coming to the meeting, as we had a small interview. It’s always also hard to explain on what I shall say International or Home student, I chosen the word International student at Northumbria. It does not need much explanation.  Let’s see in which company they will stick me in, as all of them sound very interesting. Is really just learning about Korean culture, and getting a few work experiences while on study aboard.
In the evening there had been a concert on the campus. I have invited a few of my friends to come along.

In the evening there had been a concert on the campus. I have invited a few of my friends to come along. It was great fun to listen again to classical music after such a long time. It was a two hour program and very well organised. I thought first it will be just basic, as they are just students who do it for fun and started off from zero most of them. They started to learn the instrument since they started university.

In the further night our friend from Korea has taken us to a “secret” bar behind North Gate where we had a few drinks and games to close of the evening and to expect what the next day will deliver us. My plan is to go to Apsan Park, but many of them did not seen the town yet. We will see tomorrow.
