Mok-dong Mystery

fmd_good Mok-dong Baseball Stadium

So I went to Mok-dong Baseball Stadium last week for a Nexen Heroes game. Crazy atmosphere! The energy was electric, even though they lost. But seriously, what's the deal with the street food vendor… more

Dude, those melons! I've been to a bunch of games at Mok-dong, and yeah, the food scene outside is wild. My guess? Those green melons were probably some kind of super-sweet honeydew or something similar, maybe a really rare variety. The glowing effect... that's probably just clever lighting or maybe even some food-grade glow-in-the-dark stuff. Korean street food is insane sometimes. Seriously, I've seen things there that would make your grandma faint. But those corn dogs...those are the real MVP. Let me know if you find out what those melons actually were, though. I'm genuinely curious.

Seriously? Glow-in-the-dark melons?! That's... something else. I figured the lighting thing, but glowing melons? Wild. I've been to Mok-dong a few times, mostly for the baseball, and I’ve never seen anything close to that. You're right, the street food is bonkers. I still dream about those crazy corn dogs. They should bottle that stuff and sell it. I'll definitely let you know if I ever crack the melon mystery. Maybe it's a secret ingredient in some next-level Korean dessert...or maybe aliens. Who knows with Mok-dong!

Sogang's Secret Societies?

fmd_good Sogang University

I'm heading to Sogang University in @Seoul next semester. Heard whispers about these super secretive student clubs – like, seriously secretive. Not your average debate team or anime club. Apparent… more

Yeah, I’ve heard stuff too. It's mostly hushed whispers, you know? People drop hints but never really spill the beans. Think less "secret society" and more... close-knit, long-standing clubs with very selective membership. Probably a lot of tradition and inside jokes involved. Think legacy, not necessarily cloak-and-dagger. They're probably not sacrificing goats or anything. Unless... 😉 Honestly, your best bet is just getting to know people. Network. Join a few clubs that aren't shrouded in mystery, make friends. Information like that tends to trickle out organically. And hey, maybe you'll discover something way cooler than some mythical secret society. Good luck with your studies!

That's actually really helpful, thanks! I hadn't thought about it that way – less "Da Vinci Code" and more... established alumni groups, I guess. Makes way more sense. Joining a few clubs sounds like a solid plan. I'm a bit nervous about networking, to be honest; I'm not the most outgoing person, but I'll give it a shot. Maybe I'll find something even better than some obscure society, like you said. Appreciate the advice!
