Last week, the company arranged for me to go to Korea on a business trip, and I was most happy to be able to return to my alma mater after more than 10 years to see it, and I could also taste the familiar food around the school, and the excitement concealed the fatigue caused by the heavy work.
I graduated from Cheongju National University in 2011, one year of language classes and four years of undergraduate, five years of life gave me a deep understanding of the country of Korea, I like to travel, I have traveled more than half of Korea, from Panmunjom in the north to Haeundae in Busan, but also contact people from all walks of life in Korea, from members of the Chungcheongbuk-do parliament to simple farmers, the country is small, but all-encompassing.
On Saturday morning, I got on the bus from Seoul to Cheongju, and arrived in Cheongju in more than 2 hours, which is still the familiar bus station, and the familiar atmosphere gradually became rich from here, and I got into a taxi and went directly to the gate of the school, and the new gate is very good-looking, but it lacks the quaint feeling of before.
The school gate looks better at night than during the day!
As soon as you enter the school gate, you will be greeted by various banners, if there is anything festive and worthy of congratulations will be hung up, the content of the banner should be that the new principal has just recently changed, and the school calls it the general principal!
Further inside is the Central Library, which is said to be the best and most technological library in Korea! Because you don't have a student card, you can't get inside! I also read it here at night!
On the way to the dormitory area, there is still a display of obsolete military equipment, because the school has a military academy, so it is on display!
Passing by the stadium, it just so happens that there is a college sports meeting, the sports meeting of Korean universities is not as formal as our side, they are mainly entertainment-oriented, you can make your own snacks, you can also drink, more like a big party!
Came to the most familiar dormitory area, the dormitory is divided into Korean student building and international student building, the reason for living separately is easy to fight together, as for the reason, everyone understands!
The school's shuttle bus runs every hour, because the school's terrain is narrow and the terrain is undulating, and the distance between the dormitory area and the comprehensive teaching building is 2.5 kilometers, and the legs can walk fine!
This is an international apartment at night, where students of all languages and colors live together, which is very lively, and everyone's unified understanding is that as long as they don't live with Koreans!!
This is the teaching building of the language class, and only after the Korean Chinese reaches the standard of ability can enter the university to study the major, and the classes here are all small "United Nations"!
The most anticipated moment is to go to the street below the dormitory building to eat in the evening, and there are all kinds of food on the long street!
There are also many restaurants that are Chinese open, and there were no spicy hot shops back then, so think the business should be quite good.
This shop was a shop I frequented at that time, cheap and delicious, as long as the living expenses were not enough, I would come here to order two gimbap, and then a bowl of sin ramen, a total of more than 3,000 won that year, it was economical!
After eating, go to the supermarket and see how the prices are
Compared with Yantai, the price is almost the same, but the watermelon is a little more expensive! This price is drizzle for wage income!
Koreans are always used to finding a bar after dinner, sitting down and drinking, regular Oh!
The highlight is the self-service barbecue, I still remember when I first went to school in 07 to eat self-service barbecue for the first time, five Shandong big men ate three pots of meat, did not drink, and the boss's heart was dripping blood at the checkout! The next day, the price increased from 5,000 yuan to 7,000 yuan per person!
After eating, I came to Muxinchuan, a small river that runs through the city, which divides Cheongju into two districts, and after the meal, take a walk by the river, very comfortable!
Recalling the life of studying abroad in those years, bittersweet and bittersweet, every day is very fulfilling, sitting on the bench on campus, recalling the young man who walked over from here, full of spirit, inadvertently souring in his heart, and finally presenting a group photo of the 2010 basketball game! I'm the middle one.
After a two-day trip to visit your alma mater, pack up and head back to Seoul!
