Festival!!

Nyligen var det festival här i Pusan National University. Vi firade grundandet av PNU, universitetet grundades 15 maj 1946 och rankas som Koreas 8:e bästa universitet, det studerar c:a 17 tusen studenter här. Universitetets maskot är en örn som också kan ses på universitetslogon, det finns också en mycket vacker staty av örnen vid ingången av universitetet. Festivalen varade i 3 dagar, och vi fick en dag ledigt!

 During the festival. We could try the baloon, but just for some minutes, it was anchored to the ground so it didn't lift higher than 10 m.

Each department had their own telt on the football field and during the night all the students met up here and socialized together! Something that was really good was that every tent had their own kitchen , so some students always kept the other ones with food throughout the night :-)

We had a small celebration at our dormitory first, here we ate a lot of bacon, vegetables and some candy-floss! We also enjoyed some shows, it was in Korean though, so I didn't understand so much...

 The foreign students in the dormitory was asked to have a speach about their biggest cultural shock in Korea, this is my roomate Shimpei from Japan! 

 I also had to speak some! I mentioned that I got surprised over the amount of rice that Koreans eat... We get rice in our dormitory for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner... Every day!!!
