I didn't really do very much today. In the morning I just took it easy and ended up making arrangement to go to HomEver with Lisa (who I hadn't met yet). So, I met her at the Flying Dragon Statue (the Uni's marcot... thing) and then we headed over to HomEver to do some shopping, mostly for school supplies. It's nice that we don't have to bother with physical descriptions (How will I recognize you??? - I'm not Asian - Well, that makes this easier!!!), so we didn't have any trouble recognizing each other. So we went to HomEver and had a nice conversation about stuff. Lisa's a Concordia student who lives in Hudson (small world, eh?) who is studying International Relations and staying at the dorm. So, we bought our stuff and headed back to the dorm (since it would have been difficult for her to carry all her stuff, and I had very little ).
Tea with Pete and Elise
Once Lisa had returned to her dorm, I started heading home when I bumped into Pete and Elise. Peter has already been introduced , but this was the first time I met Elise. Elise had arrived days ago and they were just returning from HomEver as well (I guess we missed them in there by minutes). So, Pete suggested we have tea at his place, which we did. Elise is in Korea to teach English, even though she is very much a french Quebecer at heart (yup, also from Montreal!). However, she has been living in Taiwan with her Taiwanese husband for a few years, and came to Korea for a change. Why not, right?
Desires, Blackcat and Woodstock
After tea, I headed back to the apartment and knocked on Agata's door to see if she was back. Yes, she was (by an hour or so). So, she told me all about her stay and we had a semi-serious conversation about desires, and how the Budhists believe that we shouldn't desire anything. You shouldn't even desire world peace or anything righteous-seeming like that (I didn't really get it, but that's all right!). After that, we had crepes (again) and then went to Blackcat with Pete, Elise and Eaun (Remi was busy working). Since the monks had woken her at a very early hour, Agata retired early. Peter and Eaun then decided to show us another bar, this one called Woodstock. Pretty cool place, had a screen showing out-dated music videos and concerts. Anyway, we played a fun card game (the name of which I have forgotten) but much fun was had. Here is a picture:
