First Day of Fall Semester

Yup...we officially began our Fall semester today. UT KOREA new students are enthusiastically engaging themselves in their class. 

It's my class. There's an announcement from the seniors about their plans of arranging academic and non-academic activities worth sharing.

I think it's a good start. oh....Kelas Writing 1 yg sy pegang sptnya menjanjikan krn mahasiswanya termasuk aktif. Welcome aboard everyone.^^

Lunchtime with some new and familiar faces....I mean our fellow tutors of UT KOREA.

Lunch at tutor lounges where ideas,  information....and fun are shared.

Hello...Annyonghaseyo dear tutors...welcome to the new semester^^

Fighting!!!

After-Class Lunch^-

We're having our lunch right after class.

It's Sunday. Another class in which I am tutoring. 

Open University Class for Indonesian migrant workers.

It's sort of like a 'social or voluntary work' for me. But I do enjoy it.

No free time for me on Sundays morning.

But, sure I could spend a great Sunday afternoon afterwards.

Indonesian Day 인도네시아의 날

It was the warmest day ever so far ..to date.
Some say it was the dawn of the spring time. Yes..I guess I kinda agreed to it. Simply because the temperature was about 6 or 8 degrees that made it livable and walk-able. ^^. Ok, it was March 18 and the day was marked with the red dot marker on my calendar. I simply did not want to miss this day.

Here came the day when lots of friends, be it family, foreign workers from numerous countries, volunteer workers from migrant centers around Incheon and Seoul, and of course Korean people living in Incheon vicinity.

As always...balloon mania

That day....was Indonesian day, held by the Incheon Municipality in cooperation with the Migrant Workers Center as well as Multicultural Family Center in Incheon, Bupyeong area.

Free International Call^^

 I went there with my family and friends....just to make sure that we enjoyed the best that the festival had to offer. And we did.
We came there by subway at about 10 a.m. just in time before the festival was begun.










Bupyeong Art Center located in Bupyeong ( of course) was one of the art venue that cater the needs of citizens alike to explore the nuance and celebrate the vibrant life of cultural colors dotted around Seoul and its vicinity.
Oh..I also learned that the Indonesian Day or Indonesian Festival being held that day was the 3rd installment of its kind. I guess the first and the second could be those of other countries' festival.




So, that day was designed to be Indonesian Day.
Lots of festival atmosphere did encroach the venue. Lots of people were gathering and scattering about in the area to prepare, to see, to look, to eat, to come, to sit, to visit, to watch, to dance, to sing, to enjoy, to do..other stuffs that mostly festival would do.
There are also bazaar where we could grab things at the very cheap price, ranging from clothing to foods.

the auditorium

Friends I met admitted their drawn out and leisure-kind-of-time while enjoying the extravaganza show.
Cultural performance from both Indonesia and Korea was also held at the main auditorium of the Art Center. It was full-house.
I might as well conclude the day as ....a refreshingly new start to begin the Spring in 2012.
