I've developed a new hobby - it's korean drums, or if you prefere - Samul nori!
This is my second favourite thing after Japanese language. Since 日本語 nothing ever gave me so much satisfaction - when it comes to hobbies. Exciting feeling.
So basically there are two types of drums - the round one called buk and hourglass-shaped callled janggu. Because playing janggu is difficult (you have to use both hands) I prefer buk for now (one hand is enough) :)
Besides people are super nice. Amazing thing is that even though they hardly speak English we still meet twice a week and play together. Every time before and after the meeting we eat street food together. Also at the end we sometimes do an evaluation part during which the speak Korean, we - Polish! I forgot to add that there are 4 of us - Me~, Ewa~, Mary~ and Alexy~.

One night we went to a bar with them - last meeting before mid-term. Funny things were happening. They look really excited about white people being with them, but the truth is they like Alex the most (or just his hair - I'm not sure) ;PAnyway I'm having a great time with them.
Just watch them play :)
I enjoy it here!
