This morning was a typical cafeteria breakfast. I can't remember exactly what we had, but it involved a little fatty beef and the usual spicy side dishes. Class was mostly lecture, which was somewhat painful, but we only have two left at this point.

For lunch we ate in the academic building where I have class. They mostly have spaghetti so I got chicken alfredo spaghetti. It was salty, of course, but good and I was starving so I ate the whole thing. After lunch we went to the Mapo Lifelong Learning Center, which is a huge community center that also has a library. The library was similar to a public library and they also offer all sorts of classes. We got to see a couple painting classes and all the women who were painting were really, really good - of profesional quality. I guess if you don't work you can spend your days painting and get really good like them. Perhaps if I don't find a job that's what I'll do...

After the visit I took the subway back to school and picked up some pastries for breakfast tomorrow morning. I did school work and ate in the cafeteria. We had the usual kimchi, some mixed veggies with a brown gelatin substance (not sure what that was...), rice with bean sprouts, seaweed wrappers and a fried egg. They use eggs a lot in cooking here. They also don't refrigerate them, which is interesting.

After dinner was more school work, but we finished our group paper so tomorrow night I'll hopefully be able to go out to dinner.
