Hello Korea Event - 한국 안녕

 한국 안녕 ~!


Sunday 13th of May 2012, UAE University Korean club "Arrirang" celebrated a day for korean culture named " Hello Korea"

As being a student of the basic korean class our task was to attend and do the following assignments :
1- Test your language and talk to Korean people
2- Try Korean food and write a paragraph about it
3- Take pictures !

Cultural customs and accessories:

 loved the light red shoes !

cute dolls

Korean calligraphy section by my Korean teacher



hehehe~!

YES I tried wearing the Hanbok!! - traditional Korean dress -
 so elegant although it wasn't on my size ( so short n tight lol ) 
the prices for one Hanbok differs according to the material used and the number of layers folded in the skirt, it can be a light Hanbok like the one we tried or more formal and expensive one to be worn in weddings and important events

As for the price it is approximately between 500-1000 DHS for the light Hanbok  :)

 = = = = = =

The food was the most exciting experience! we finally got to try what we saw in Dramas n learned about in books and I'm glad to know that I found most of the food edible and filling which is a good sign for losing weight and surviving for going to Korea :p


The beautifully arranged Korean dishes

the sushi-like rolls in the back is "Kimbap", it was kinda tasteless but the weed is much better than the japanese sushi !!! the stuffing was okay as well ( cucumber, egg, carrot, radish ..etc)


in worst case scenario, I can live on the delicious egg rolls in Korea :P
I want to learn how to make neat rolls like theirs !

The red pickled vegetables is the most famous side dish of Korea, " Kimchi " ! it has a strong garlic smell with vinegar. The kimchi we tried is much lighter than the real one but my advice, don't eat it as a main dish ! its better to have it with rice or meat x__x

can't wait to try the real thing in Korea ! 


Japchae is like Chinese noodles in sesame oil, didn't like its oily taste but it was fine

Yubuchobap is bread stuffed with rice, sweet almost like desert.

  
Dukbokki is rice cake cooked red hot pepper sauce, it is supposed to be so hot but the cook reduced the spices for students to handle it. I love spicy food so it wasn't spicy for me at all xD

The day was 대박 (awesome) !!
Although I couldn't express my true feelings about it in Korean I'm sure our teacher felt the joy in our faces :)

I still find it unbelievable that I'll be traveling to Korea alone in less than two months and for 10 days, I'll have to study harder to make this opportunity unforgettable :)

but as for now Amna needs to sleep people


















































안녕히 주무십시요




Have a Good Night
