For the next 24 hours, I’m going to be camping out for a concert. I’ve never camped out before, not for a concert, not for Black Friday I’ve never even been camping before, but there is a first time for everything.

Why am I doing this?

There is a free concert in Gangnam (yes, that’s the place from Gangnam Style), and there are going to the a lot of K-pop groups performing. Since some of my friends are going to camp out as well, I thought I should just do it and experience something new. I don’t think I would ever do something like that back home because I would be worried about my safety, but I don’t have to worry about that here.

I’ll post again after this whole event is over!

Karen Conde

My name is Karen Conde and I'm a senior studying International Business and French at the University of Texas at Arlington. I spend most of my free time trying out new cooking recipes, walking my dog, and learning about the history of other countries. As a first generation college student and coming from a low-income family, nobody ever believed me when I said I would go study abroad. Well, I proved all those people wrong because this will be my second time studying abroad in South Korea! Next Fall I will be spending the last semester of my undergraduate career at Yonsei University, one of the most prestigious universities in South Korea. It is a goal of mine to work in Seoul someday and studying at Yonsei will get me two steps closer to that goal. I will be studying Korean and International business there, but I also plan to travel to historical sites, try all the delicious cuisine I missed out on last time, and share my experiences with everyone.
