Chitchat: Everything Far Eastern~

*clears the cobwebs off of her blog and sidles in awkwardly*

...ohai guyz. 

Aaaaaghhh. I'm sorry for falling off the blogging bandwagon again. It's just that.. life and uni have been taking up almost all of my time these past few weeks, and any spare time I have I've started to spend it with my friends, and venturing outside and trying out new things instead of being a hermit and just spending my free time on the laptop.

I even tried Japanese food the other day! I went to Leeds Trinity with a friend (to meet up with yet another friend xD) and we ended up eating at Wagamama's. Even though I'm not a fan of the way they make the rice, I really liked it over all. I'm going to try a soup next time~

Japanese food

I'm going to hunt down a Japanese restaurant in my own city now (^__^) I really want to try Chinese food too!

Errrrmmm...what else is there.. hmm. Oh, I've started learning two new languages! :D Korean and Mandarin to be precise. I've only just gotten into learning Mandarin relatively recently if I'm honest, I made a couple of Chinese friends and one of my close friends has actually gone to China for a couple of weeks too! So when she gets back she'll be teaching me what she has learnt aswell! ^^

But I have to say.. I love the Korean language just that teensy bit more. My love for their music, culture, and now the Korean friends I've made, has spurred me on to learning it properly - I've even bought a dictionary >.< haha

Korean music and language

I like to sit around in university reading through it in public when I have free time. I've made so many friends that way, people I would never have been able to speak to and fangirl about things with if it weren't for the language barrier - I didn't realize there were so many benefits to learning a new language until I actually started learning one! :-)

I think instead of buying a new lipstick I might pick up a copy of the Mandarin version of this dictionary instead :P They actually are the same price, I got my dictionary for about £7/8 at Waterstones I think! I wholeheartedly recommend you pick one up in any language you're vaguely interested in (^__^) You won't regret it hehe~

*grins* Wellllllll that's all I can think of that has been taking up my time at the moment (apart from my studies).. I might do another chitchat post like this sometime soon, I really like talking about things other than beauty/skincare/fashion! 

Okay well then.. *clears throat awkwardly* bye. :D

  2. Don't appologise, sillies!

    I tried to learn Mandarin and Korean together but I just couldn't do it.. It was too much to learn them both at the same time for me.. Focused on Korean for a while but stopped and went to just try and improve my Japanese instead but I did have a lot of Korean and Japanese pen pals. Good luck on your language journey! <3

  3. Ha! That gif is hilarious. I love Asian food, particularly Thai. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it...

    That's so cool that you're learning some new languages! I really want to learn a second language and I think I finally need to just force myself to try it instead of procrastinating and making excuses. Good luck with your studies!
