Beijing 101 and Daebak eatery

Earlier this month, my family went to the Comex at Expo, and food fair is held concurrently too! There is a booth by Beijing 101, and we decided to just check our hair scalp on the spot, since its free! hahahah afterwhich, my mum and I bought 2 vouchers that costs 28 each for one session of treatment that includes hair mask, washing of hair, head massage, and herbal treatment. with freebies like their revitalising hair shampoo (its really good!)

We booked an appointment 1-2days before the day itself.

Appointment day: we went down knowing that the consultant will definitely 100% plus chop, persuade us in buying their package. lol its always the case! similar for other slimming centres! The routine was like, inviting us to the room, hot teas were served, consultant came in shortly, analyse your problems, offer you the package, continues with the treatment, treatment ends, back to the room, continues to persuade and offer you lower priced package, offer products when persuading doesnt work lol ITS ALWAYS LIKE THAT so if you dont intend to get any (you will be swayed by their "sincerity") I suggest you bringing only 100bucks  to just buy their products cos its good sometimes! dont bring card!

But but but, the treatment in Beijing 101 for my hair is really really really good! I almost wanted to buy the package but bo lui leh :( I can feel that my hair is cleaner, and has more volume after! Through the persuading session, personally I have also learnt about our hair/head and how common problems like dandruff, hair loss happen :) 

I would say, if can, just buy their shampoo, dont get the shampoo sold outside even if its market to be highly recognised, made by professionals etc whatever they say, its gonna contain chemical bad for our hair and with improper cleaning method, your hair will still be as bad as ever.

Wanna learn bout this? Just sign up their first-timer treatment! get an experience! it doesnt hurt! well... if you are firm enough! hahah

After that, we went to the food court at Nex to have our lunch!

Bibimbap

Bulgogi with Rice

Bibimbap, I prefer the one at Sarang! the Bulgogi wise, its better than the one at Bibigo!

both price are about the same (Ive forgotten!!) around $6 OMG I ALMOST WRITE 6000WON =.=

Seoul Day 9- Hyehwa Day setting Hair wave!

Day 9 is quite mundane hahahah we didnt go anywhere special... just stayed in hyehwa... and I guess thats probably a tuesday or thursday when we were having our korean class... cos with korean class right smack in the middle of the day like 430-6 we cant go anywhere far from Hyehwa

So instead, we ate lunch at hyehwa nearby our school and we went to set our hair! and korean class and dinner which ends our night!

Some lol things I spotted... Wash your hands for 20minutes?! are you kidding me? hahah it actually meant 20seconds in korean... in my school's toilet

Kimbap!

And so we tag along fellow Singaporean friends (our roomie), we went to a hair salon that her Korean friends recommended... But we have language barrier......... we communicate through GOOGLE TRANSLATE lol or their own translation apps

Initially just wanted to cut my hair, and I thought it through I wanted a magic perm since its highly raved for! But... its either they do not have the equipment or she said that I don't suit that magic perm. hmm 80% sure that she's referring to the latter. Thus, I settled for... wave. lol

 End product after bathing at our dorm!

sadly... my hair is born to be straight... refer to Day 8 for ehwa pictures. so... no more wave :(
It costs me 70,000won to cut and wave it. so yeps!

sad lo :(

Anyway, if you are to come to SKKU for similar exchange. I would recommend you not to take the korean class... its a waste of money. reason:

1. if you know nuts about korean, the beginner teacher teaches the class of 40 people? in a fast pace cos only 6 lessons 1.5hours. She teaches in Korean. so... not much of english-korean mix

2. if you know something about korean, for the advance class that I was in... I was actually expecting the teacher to teach us something... in the end he taught us traditional korean things (which is okay!), he tasked us to find food best eaten in Summer (patbingsoo, samgyetang etc) and the recipe, and how the koreans feel after eating and PRESENT IT IN CLASS. The presentation is ok actually trains us to talk in korean... but, it still find it stupid. he could have went through grammar or vocabs or sentence structuring with us.......

3. though class is "free", you need to pay the the notes. NOT TEXTBOOK. 30usd for simple notes. those kinda photocopied papers stapled together. I would rather get yonsei textbook or proper textbook for reference from bookstore!

4. the timing sucks

If you want, you can go to the intermediate class. Not sure if the teacher gonna be the same lady, the teacher teaching that class is good! and fun i feel... from how my friend described lol

*just suggesting*
