A Weekend at Yonsei

Okay, okay... you probably wonder how Yonsei exchange students spend their weekends...

So weekends are one of the only times when all of your fellow CIEE friends don't have classes (it's hard to sync up schedules sometimes). So, weekends are a time to explore Seoul/Korea and try new things!

In the video above, I joined Seoul Mates (highly, highly recommend) and went to an animal cafe, which had a variety of animals: raccoons, mongooses, cats, foxes, etc. It was well worth the experience - I highly recommend. After that, I went to a club (be sure to stick in groups and stay safe). The following day, Tina took a few of us on a K-pop tour to check out the headquarters of some of the largest entertainment companies in the world. The following day, some friends and I rented Gyoboks (school uniforms) and went to Lotte World, a large amusement park in Seoul. Anyways, it was a great weekend and I hope you all make the most of your time here!
