Towels and sleepers, food and socks - I'm not in a sauna or a living room. This is a library. A place, where forever learning Koreans learn their life by heart. They are so much seek and tired of them that there has been mass migration of the students from libraries to the endless cafes which are never empty ( Read more... )

Some month before we passed by one of the main building of the campus (which is famous for Obama has been there...I assume they have not been washing the floor since that blessed moment). There a nice advert has attracted our attention. It declared: "Design K-talk". I immediately got an understanding that there has been too much design in my life ( Read more... )

Today is obviously a day of love-related topics. Teachers and students keep talking about love as if Korean cats have already started singing.

Congratulations on the K-nowledge day from the K-country proud of its K-pop, K-dramas and K-B-boys (Didn't the Koreans introduce K-12 term, huh?).
