Some crazy new things I do and see (ft Stockholm)
VΓtej zpΔt!
I've always been one to try new things, like I never have a set Starbucks order and decided to learn diving and wood burning on a whim. This hasn't been much different in Prague tbh; I feel like I'm only here for 3 months, so why wouldn't I keep looking for new experiences. And that's basically how I started rock climbing and aerial silks... I've wanted to do both for a while and Prague gave me the perfect opportunity.
If you're keeping up with other IPE bloggers, you've probably seen the climbing mentions on Janice's blogs. She's essentially the one that roped me into climbing <3 I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I do though! I think it's something about the problem solving of how to get up the path combined with the feeling of getting stronger the more I climb. A group of us has been going every week, and it's been a lot of fun helping analyze other climbs and cheering each other on. The advantages of being tall are crazy; i just don't have the wingspan or height to reach some of the boulders like they do π
Aerial silks probably aligns more with what I'm better at, though I still have little arm strength lmao (I'm pretty flexible, so contorting my body is much easier than finding ways to grip boulders). The instructor was super sweet and didn't speak great English, but she'd motion to help me understand and that was honestly good enough. It was a bit intimidating at first, especially with some of the more advanced students watching, but I was really proud of what I was able to accomplish. Like look at that almost scorpion thing I'm doing, ngl I told the instructor I don't bend that way but hey I did it! + I'll definitely be back
Speaking of new things I did, my trip to Stockholm was without my roommates. Traveling with a new group always has a different dynamic, and the theme of this weekend was definitely teasing and doing random stupid things π
Church, shoreside, and parliament building
Stockholm was unfortunately a little dreary (one of our teachers is Swedish and confirmed its much better in the summer), so we split our time visiting museums, exploring the streets, and underground (!!). Highlights as follows:
Vasamusset - museum dedicated to just the Vasa ship. Actually, the story is a little sad, she sank before making it out of the harbor on her first voyage... basically the engineers didn't engineer well
Gamla Stan (old town) - cobblestone roads and various warm toned buildings, tons of tourist shops but we stopped for some yummy pastries. Cinnamon rolls and vanilla cream buns are Stockholm classics
Ikea - good ol ikea is the same in Sweden as everywhere else, but we were really excited to see it
Fotografiska - contemporary photography exhibition with some cool art like this aurora borealis video and mirror room with projections
And finally our 3 hour metro art gallery tour! These were so cool. I can't believe everyone in Stockholm just gets to enjoy all this art on their commutes. There was so much variation with some being purely artistic and others having historical elements. I happened to be wearing the same colors as one of the walls, so I decided to camouflage into it for fun lol
I would definitely recommend a trip to Stockholm, but maybe try when there's warmer weather or at least no rain...
I'm honestly really excited to relax and not travel one of these weekends. I don't think I thought out how tiring traveling would make me, but I guess it's part of the adventure!

3RD PERSON POV
Like every morning, the big line of glasses is waiting for his girlfriend, but the two youngsters have no plans to go to school because it's the weekend, no, they enjoy their togetherness for all times.
Even if the two have known each other for a long time, that doesn't mean they've been together that long.
For the two of them, it was unimaginable to be in a relationship with the other, but things always happen and change.
Anyone who has asked the respective person about this relationship has long since forgotten because they apparently did not / do not care.
Back to the present.
Tsukishima looked annoyed at the clock on his cell phone and sighed in annoyance, he can't be delayed, even if it's 3 minutes.
It is not rare or common for his girlfriend to be late.
He actually prefers to pick her up instead of waiting for her, not only so that she can hurry up, but also so that she can meet her boyfriend carefree without any bad ulterior motives or any nuisance.
Well that's one of the reasons he hates being late, but he didn't tell his girlfriend about that fact himself.
Because of this particular incident with his brother, he has a strong weakness to trust someone or to trust someone, there are moments when he trusts his girlfriend, sometimes not, it mainly just depends.
But as a good friend, she shows understanding for him, she is too fond of him.
She knows his problems, his fears and the insecurities that almost eat him up, but she still knows the good side that she doesn't see every day, but better than never.
Like, for example, his love for her, his interests in the dinosaurs or his good tutoring when the two do their homework together.
Trapped in thought, someone took him out of it, or rather, something.
The boy's cell phone rang loudly, his heart pounding and he answered the call "Tsuki, where are you?" his girlfriend asked in amazement and tried to ignore the anger.
"In front of our favorite bakery, the question is more where are you, (Y / N) I've been waiting for more than 10 minutes and the weather is not very pleasant at the moment."
"Tsuki, we had agreed that we would meet in front of the museum, that you were present for our last conversation, I knew, but if you went straight into your own world, you have been really so bad in the last few days."
"(Y / N)?" Tsukishima said in a normal tone, "Yes?" she said, however, surprised that he speaks so calmly.
"Didn't we agree that if we'd only go to the museum right after we ate a piece of cake and went for a walk, because it only opens at 2 p.m. and now it's only 10:27 a.m."
"I'll be there in 5 minutes." was the only thing his girlfriend could say hung up as quickly as possible.
Yes, this behavior of his girlfriend wasn't seen every day, but he gets along reasonably well with it.
Of course there are moments or even days when he can lose his last nerve and there have been moments when he insults his girlfriend even though it is not his intention.
Fortunately, however, she knows him too well that she sometimes understands him, but only sometimes.
The one time she showed no understanding was when he was training again with his team and since Hinata was again better than usual, it annoyed him so much that he took all his anger and frustration out on his girlfriend, which caused her ignored him for almost a week.
Back to the present, holding hands, the couple are on their way to coffee.
The fingers are folded together, the wind blows stronger and stronger every second, but if you think that such weather could ruin their mood, you are one-sidedly wrong.
Once there, the two ordered a hot cocoa and a small cake, (Y / N) should already choose a place while Tsukishima delivers the delicacies with a tray.
They talked about their interests and what movie to watch tonight.
While walking around town, Tsukishima looked at his wristwatch that his girlfriend gave him and said, "The museum will open in about 20 minutes."
The friends who make (Y / N) s face shine cannot be overlooked.
Of course, she doesn't really like the museum because she's not really interested, but she knows too well that he likes the dinosaurs that she talked him into going on a date at the museum without any problems.
But he wanted the two to spend more time together, that is to say;
The coffee, the walk and the night at his house had been all his idea.
In the museum, the friend looked at a dinosaur, or rather a Gallimimus.
"What is it, Tsuki?" she asked him and shows it on the Gallimimus. "
From A to Z, her friend explained every information he knows about the Gallimimus.
"They were also a kind of group like wolves, but from the dinosaur genus of the Ornithomimosauria during the Theropoda. They lived for the most part in East Asia. Furthermore, as you can see, they were not small, they were 4 and 6 meters high and weighed up to to an example of 200 kg. "
"You seem to know your way around this, don't you?"
"Because I can." he said roughly, but grabbed his girlfriend's hand and said like a little boy, "Come on, you have to see the others first." and pulled her right after you with you.
TIME SKIP / 3RD PERSON POV
Back at home, the couple meets Tsukishima's brother.
He sighed annoyed and skilfully ignored him, but greeted him out of sheer politeness.
They have known each other for a long time, which is why they have an appropriate relationship.
In other words, a friendship.
You talk now and then.
However, their friendship does not belong in the level where you occasionally write to each other, make phone calls or go to town together.
But that's probably a good thing before Tsukishima gets the last nerve.
Tsukishima is not the kind of friend you ask if you can go out with this person or if he is having trouble going out with this person, knowing other people's passwords or reading through chats.
They know each other too well and also trust what is important in a relationship and therefore find this behavior strange from other couples, because, as I said, trust is part of a relationship.
When he got to his room, Tsukishima took his pajamas and said to his girlfriend "I'm going to get changed in the bathroom, okay?"
She nodded and answered him and also took her pajamas out of her pocket and changed a little faster than usual.
Finished dressed, she stuffed the clothes she was still wearing into her pocket and then put it down.
"Are you ready?" it came out the door.
"Yes I am, can come in."
The door opened and you not only saw Tsukishima in his pajamas, but he also held a small tray with (Y / N) 's favorite sweets.
But not only that, but also a small box.
The friend quickly got up to help her friend "Let me help you." and wanted to grab the tray right away, but Tsukishima pointed to his clothes, which is between his forearm and waist.
"Do you already know which film to watch and how." Tsukishima asked his girlfriend.
"No, I thought you would decide because I was 'allowed' to do it last time." she said and put his clothes where they belong.
"I would prefer if my dwarf would choose a movie." replied Tsukishima and set the tray down on his bed.
"Aww, since when was such a tsuki?" provoked (Y / N) Tsukishima and came a few steps towards him, while at the same time she looked at him gourmet.
Annoyed, he sobbed with his tongue - held a hand on her face and gently pushed her away from him.
He then gave his remote control to his girlfriend and finally said, "Come sit down and choose a movie."
And thus also knocked on the bed.
About half an hour has passed.
While (Y / N) stares obsessively at the screen and slowly eats the candy, Tsukishima secretly observed his girlfriend and the small box.
Breathing deeply, he said her name, while she turned and looked at him, "Is something?" she asked worriedly.
"No, it works. You remember when we were in town about a week ago, there was this shop. It had this chain that impressed you, so I made up my mind yesterday ..." without finishing his sentence he made it to his girlfriend.
She opened the box nervously.
The necklace that (Y / N) wanted, she got from her boyfriend as a present.
She just stared at it with no comments like, 'I want this.' 'Can you get it for me?' or something else, maybe he knows (Y / N) just too well.
He took the chain and asked "May I?"
"(Y / N) turned so he could tie the necklace together," What for, Tsuki? Have you ever seen the price? "She asked him and from now on ignored the film being played.
"When I saw the price, I wasn't too thrilled, but I just had to remember you being pretty amazed as a dwarf, so it wasn't too bad to spend my money."
The tray put away, the television switched off and the blanket over the couple's bodies, they slept cuddled up.
The two of them will not get rid of this event so quickly.

I haven't posted anything here in ages so once again here's an update!
β’ Weekend before last the little sis visited from home and we went to London together which was AMAZING we had such a good time. The reason she visited was that I got her concert tickets for her birthday/Christmas so we went to that concert - parkway drive and it was so freaking good. Most fun concert I've been to in so long. I still have bruises from the moshpit π then on Sunday I showed her around the city a bit because she's never been to England and then some museums on Monday before we both went back home, she to Germany and me to sheff.
β’ unfortunately I got sick the next day and have had the worrrrst cold since :( I'm finally feeling a bit better the past two days but thar was very annoying especially with running going so well again and I MISS climbing so much. And running too obv. But maybe I'll go out for a short easy one tomorrow :)
β’ So I've mostly been focussing on uni work because I was so tired all the time. I finished another round of lectures two days ago and have been working on the assignment to it and it's so interesting, I'm loving the work and the learning and it's great
β’ On a related note, our course leaders put out a class ranking last week and I'm on top of my year at the moment. Me. I'm still so confused about it?? But really proud too of course. All the hard work is really paying off at the moment.
β’ I've been writing creatively again! I think I posted about a new idea I had a while ago and that's still going well and it's so much fun. Hit me up if you speak German and want to read some young adult stuff hehe
β’ I'm also in a mega good mood today for no reason (or no big reasons at least) - it's so warm and sunny out and almost feels like spring. I've been working on the assignment from home today which I normally never do but it's been nice just chilling with my housemate working on our separate stuff.
β’ Two of my housemates are going winter climbing in Scotland this weekend and I was super jealous until housemate number 3 invited me along to a cabin his family is renting in the peaks for the weekend, so that's what we're doing and I'm EXCITED. Time out of the city!! With awesome people!! And a dog!! And with this beautiful weather it's even more perfect
So yeah I'm really just so so happy right now life is golden at the moment β€

Seoul, day 2 - Yeay....back to school, somewhat
The day started alright, after a short night. But the rest of the morning was to throw away. Unfortunately, EF gave me the new address, but like I already said, giving in the address in Google maps isn't helpful at all. I couldn't search for the address at all and just entering K-Tower wasn't really helpful either, as their seem to be tons of K-Towers in the same area. The ones it displayed weren't even the one I had seen in the YouTube video or were way in the south. So I took the one that was from this YouTube video. EF still had rooms their, but obviously not in work, as they've moved several km further down the street. So I downloaded Naver maps, to finally reach my destination, way later than expected and wanted. Probably would have taken just a few minutes if I had taken the bus, but it's more difficult than the train, which takes much more time. But everything turned out well. Obviously they tried to contact my parents, while I was on the way to them. They weren't really happy being woken around 3 am. π
After talking with a lot of staff and the CEO of the EF-Korea branch, we took a tour around Gangnam and ate at a super delicious restaurant. Not that I really needed a tour in Gangnam, as I stayed here before. Though, I usually don't take the back streets where all the parties are.
One of the conversations I had at EF was with someone to put me in the right class. Unfortunately, though I had taken a test beforehand, which I know I made a few mistakes in and couldn't do properly between workdays and preparing for the travel, I wasn't really good at understanding what she was saying. So she showed me two words and I just knew one of it. I was totally out of the language and couldn't do it properly. It's like throwing you into England after not having spoken the language for years, and deciding what you understand and don't understand by knowing one word. This system might need a few adaptations. And maybe communications between the teachers at home with those here in Korea would be the best. When I told the CEO how long I had lessons, he totally started off like I know Korean inside-out. Sure, I understood, what he was trying to say, but couldn't have explain every word. The struggle of being more than beginner.
After we returned from lunch and the Gangnam street tour, I received my work book, which was for beginners. Obviously, not knowing a few words got me into a much lower level as I actually am. Sorry, but you cannot know all words (which is my weakness anyway). But I'm much more advanced in grammar than most of my co-students, who cannot even pronounce the letters properly. But I have to admit, having had my first class there, was challenging. The teachers hardly speak any English to explain stuff, which can be good and bad. But according to a co-student they had skipped like 5 chapters in their books already just after having learned the letters. I don't know yet, if I will change classes next week or not. Thankfully, I have a more advanced class of my choice Thursday or Friday to see if this is more my level. And it's about cooking Korean. Not, that we will actually cook, but we'll probably discuss recipes and all the ingredients. That should give me at least some challenge.
At around 5:40 pm my classes were over and I could go home. Actually, the next day was supposed to be school as well, but they decided to do an excursion on that day (yeah....a lot of pictures coming your way), before meeting up in the evening for μΉλ§₯ (pronounced tshimaek: a combination of the words μΉν¨ = chicken and λ§₯μ£Ό = beer).
Before going home I found an Isaac Toast restaurant right over the street (not this one, it's just an example), serving the best warm toast sandwich in the world. My absolute favorite Korean dish. My teacher made them for me a couple of times. I love them. I will visit it and show you what exactly that is. I haven't yet found it as a street food version.
Afterwards I took the metro in brought daylight, changed one time, and when I left the station in Gangnam like 20 min. later it was night dark. So no pictures for this day and gaining the realization that I really have to be doing sightseeing on days off or weekends. But there are a lot of activities by EF on weekends and after school, that I'll have to skip on these, to see everything I want to see. Though one months sounds like a long time, but is really not if you think about that already half a week has passed, since I arrived here.
So tomorrow will be excursion day to the National Museum of Korea (κ΅λ¦½μ€μλ°λ¬Όκ΄) and the National Hangeul Museum (κ΅λ¦½νκΈλ°λ¬Όκ΄).
