The story begins on Wednesday, January 18, 2011.
After having done with my academic guardianship matters , I along with Mute and Santus went to Bandung Super Mall. We planned on taking the Primajasa bus BSM-BSH with the schedule at 3:30. With the estimated travel time required was 4 hours approximately we would arrive at the airport at around 8 o'clock PM. We make an appointment with the people from POSCO and Habitat at KFC. We had to pick up the arrival of Korean volunteers who would arrive at 10 AM.
I, Santus and Mute arrived around at 8 PM. While waiting for the people from Habitat who still were on the way, we had dinner at KFC. At 9:30 PM the people from Habitat and POSCO came. Some of were Miss Leah and Miss Hera from Habitat Indonesia, Mr. Yong from the POSCO's CSR and Mr. Jin from Habitat Korea (Anjoy,, He's such a gorgeous guy). There wass also Eddy, (ex) UI students receiving scholarships from POSCO.
The participants from Indonesia put into different groups. Eddy went into group 2. Santus went into groups 6. Mute went into group 7. I went into group 8. Pffffhhh hopefully I'd get a nice group.
After several minutes of small talk, we finally welcomed the arrival of around 100 Korean volunteers. 100 volunters?!?
Yup .. (more than) 100 volunteers. I didn't think the amount of they would be so many. At first I thought there would only be 20 or 30 Korean volunters.Looking at the around 100 Korean people directed me into a great shock. HWOW ... HWOW ... They look very similar to each other. They are so typical: black and straight hair, white skin, narrow eyes, tall and athletic body (for the guys), slim body (for girls).
From the airport we were all transported by bus to the inn in Bogor. I'm with friends from other Indonesian werere in a bus with a staff of POSCO. In the bus we met with one of the staff named Mr. Choi. Because his English is very bad, sometimes he asked Mr. Chan to be a translator between us.
One of the things we learned from Mr. Choi wass about the number and order number in Korea.
Korean language group has 2 pieces of vocabulary, the first is the native Korean language and the second is a Korean-Chinese (formerly Korean used to use Chinese writing because Korea did not have its writing itself). So for numbers there are also 2 languages, one is the original Korean language and one is Korean-China. Both group can not be used carelessly, for example to say what time it is, how many, age, etc. are usually followed by native Korean numbers and for how many pages, the sequence of numbers, year, month, day, etc. using the Korean-China numbers.
Native Korean numbers:
1 = hana
2 = dul
3 = set
4 = net
5 = tasot
6 = yosot
7 = ilgob
8 = yeodol
9 = ahob
10 = Yeol
11 = yoel hana
20 = seumul
30 = Soeren
40 = maheun
41 = maheun hana
50 = swin
60 = yesun
70 = ilheun
80 = yeodeun
90 = aheun
Derivatives of china numbers
1 = il
2 = i
3 = sam
4 = sa
5 = o
6 = yuk
7 = Chil
8 = pal
9 = gu
10 = sib
11 = sib il
20 = i sib
30 = sam sib
40 = sa sib
50 = o sib
60 = yuk sib
70 = sib Chil
80 = sib pal
90 = gu sib
when it's up to 100 all numbers become equal. There is no authentic form of Korea or any derivative China
100 = baek
1000 = chon
10,000 = man
100,000 = sib man
1 million = baek man
10 million = chon man
100 million = oek
For additional information, for currencies, in Korea they use Won. Won ranges between 10-13 rupiahs.
We had late dinner right after arriving at our hotel. I haven't wondered anymore why Korean girls have slim body because I saw they were eating very little. HWAH ... if they can lean on it, I certainly can. The spirit of the diet program have flared again.
Finished eating, all Koreans bring their plates and glasses into the sink area. My Indonesian friends and I started to follow what they do. Whereas in normal days, we will allow the dishes and glasses are lying on the table because there will be waiters who would take care of them.
The night was getting late. After a super late dinner, we rested in our own rooms. Santus and Mute are in one room (room 108). I got a room to my own self (room 107). Because I was so reluctant of sleeping alone, I went bed in room 108, slept together with Santus and Mute.
Pfffhhh,,,
Hopefully, tomorrow and beyond would be a series on fun days.
