The CIEE program set up a Seoul-mate program (get it?? soul...mate...whatever), and it's basically a a buddy system with Yonsei. In a group, we toured around the campus briefly, ate delicious food, and hung out in Hongdae which is one stop away from Shinchon (residency).
This sweet girl in the group is handicapped, so we had to use elevators and such. I've realized that South Korea isn't really organized for the disabled unfortunately :/ So along with the scooter chair, about eight of us were packed into an elevator. Going up to the next floor, it got stuck and the lights flickered on and off! As you can imagine we were freaking out, especially our Seoul-mates! However, that interesting experience brought us closer...literally! However, since this country is technologically advanced, the problem was fixed within a few minutes.
Either way, that experience made my day and we got to connect with the other Seoul-mates that way. Now if I see one of them on campus we'll already have a funny story to laugh about! Just imagine, "Hey remember when we were stuck on that subway elevator together? Remember when your elbow was in my arm and face was imprinting my back as we tried to move around looking for a calling phone?? Ahh, good times!"
