The tastiest meal I had this week was spicy beef bulgogi with white rice. Spicy beef bulgogi has a medium spice and sweetness to it.
This week I listened to K-pop and Korean indie bands to practice my Korean. I listened to MOMOLAND, BTS, and HYUKOH. I actually saw MOMOLAND perform at a charity concert!
In addition to Korean music, I also listen to American music artists such as The Marias, Lady Gaga, and Adele.
During my internship, I listened to jazz, doo wop, and Frank Sinatra on YouTube.
This week I visited a Buddhist temple that is run by women. I participated in a tea ceremony where I was the tea master—the person in charge of serving tea to my guests, who were my friends.
