Once more from Ewha dormitory, Hamwoori

 

Breakfast is cafeteria style. Sandwich on white bread with crusts removed, artfully cut in triangles, filled with tuna salad and raw sweet onions; cabbage salad with crab and very tasty dressing, hard fried egg with broken yolk; frosted corn flakes with slivered almonds, milk, several fresh orange chunks. I could have had tea or coffee as well. All in all, well rounded. No napkins, or serviets or whatever.

An impressive innovation I found in the toilets. Imagine! The toilet seats are wrapped in a tissue much like US toilet seat covers, except that I press a button and the tissue is spun around in a hidden disposal. Most sanitary. And the tap water is very hot, enough for my instant oatmeal.

Outdoors, which I have yet to go, it is sunny and the day will undoubtly become very warm and humid, I suspect, from what I saw of the fog last night. This is a hilly campus and trees and shrubs fill every space between buildings and streets, which I plan to explore later. I will have the first few daylight hours to do stuff, I guess, because there are not too many folks up and around, at least that I can see.

I'm not the only white head present but the majority at breakfast were young and vibrant which will make for some interesting and valuable exchange.
