It's already Monday morning at a ridiculously early hour, but I can't sleep. So here I am.
On Saturday, I went to another museum. Yup, another one. This has to be some kind of record for me. Anyway, it was for my Korean art class as part of our final. We went to Nihon Mingeikan, which is a museum for Japanese folk art. I know, why would we go there for a Korean art class? I think it's mostly because our teacher is sick of giving lectures (she's been showing a lot of videos lately), but also because it has some Chinese and Korean pieces in it. I was not a big fan of the museum, but I think that might just be because I wasn't in the mood to look at art. I did like the one mae-byeong vase in there though and the Ming-wha calligraphy paintings. I just wish I'd been in a more artsy mood.
After that, Ayae and I met in Ikebukuro. She's on exchange at Keio University and we hadn't seen each other since summer, so that was nice. We were planning to go to Korea together, but our schedules didn't work out. We'll be meeting up again though; she's going to show me around Yokohama since she lives in the area. Speaking of which...
I booked my flight to Korea for spring break! I'll be going with my friend, Monique, from March 5th to the 12th. We're planning on going to Seoul and Kyeongju. (See? Taking Korean art wasn't a waste.) We haven't figured it all out yet, but I'm so excited! I hope I know enough Korean to get myself around alright. Monique doesn't know any, so...it'll be a fun challenge. I think between my knowledge of Korean, a dictionary, and Japanese and English I should be alright. We'll see. Whoo! Adventures!
...gotta get through the end of the semester first though. T_T
I finally got around to adding pictures. Go look!
