First Days at KAIST

– It’s enjoyable.
– And it’s freaking huge. Walking from N16 (my dorm) to W2-1 (International Center, approximately 1 km) takes 15 minutes. My legs are going to be tired quickly…
– …there are stuffs here! Cheaper than prices outside KAIST. But then when you convert them to rupiah, it looks like usual price lol.
– The first session, Academic Info Session II (the first part is for exchange students only), is boring. Being blasted with cold air from the air conditioner, without sufficient leg covering (I wore shorts, not to be confused with shorts), adds insult to injury.
– The friends are fun! Meeting many friends. Seems like I’m going to have more foreign friends than Korean friends heh.
– Wi-fi in W2-1 hates my HTC. My HTC cannot pass the “Obtaining IP address” phase, but my Galaxy Tab easily passes it, connected to the internet. Gah.
– I should sleep lol

KAIST

is the name of the university for my undergraduate study. And I’m leaving for Korea in like two hours.

Well. It was a wonderful time in Indonesia. I met a lot of friends, had a lot of experience… But now, I’m going to go to a foreign country. A completely new country that I have never gone before. Where I only know that it’s the origin of Gangnam Style and also the country of residence of the #1 osu! player Cookiezi.

Four years. Four years required to pursue my degree, hopefully less. Four years of not meeting my family and friends. But four years of meeting new friends too.

Well… It’s going to be a tough journey ahead. I’ve prepared my best; let’s hope that I can cope with it.

Good bye Indonesia, and hello Korea.
