Bad Battery and the Good Drinks

After I got my laptop back from sending it in I was so happy. But I noticed that my battery level has gone down so much. The time it goes at is just around 1 hour. -_-. So it probably cannot last me through this one class period. Should I get a new battery? How are all your guyses? Onwards...

Korean Drinks
mmmm...I love Korean drinks. America is most identified by soda, France to wine, the rest of the world to tea. I try not to drink soda and I hope I develop a taste for wine later in my life and tea is good but after a long hard day of understanding half of what my Spanish professors are saying, I love coming home to my wonderful korean drinks.


Yogurt Drink
Refreshing and simple. Its not something you have to carry around to finish but you can drink it on the spot. One Shot!








Pear Drink
I love this drink. At the marked they sell it in packages as these as "Gift Sets". I don't know if people actually give these at gifts. If I received one for my birthday or something I would frankly be a little insulted. Until I saw how cute the small fat cans were.

Side Note: There are variations of this drink in similar cans with apple and peach and these are not as good. Also, the SacSac drink, an orange drink not pictured, is equally wonderful and old school.



Shikae
I was trying to find a picture of this online and after a while I found it was most commonly spelled "sikhye" in english. But Shikae sounds more correct to me. So they usually serve this at restaurants after a meal and it is the most sweet and refreshing thing ever. This probably looks the most Korean/Asian out of all the drinks so far but the taste isn't that exotic.





SooJeungGwa
This is what my entry culminates to. I didn't mean for this picture to be so big but I feel like it was divinely done so as to emphasize the greatness of this drink. This is the can version which I usually drink but at some restaurants they serve this after a meal as well. SooJeungGwa is a cinnamon drink with hints of persimmon and ginger, served cold. I really take this as a relief drink and even a wake up drink. It's not a drink you should down whenever you want. IE: I usually don't drink it in the morning and never drink more than 1 at a time. It's really a delicate drink I like to sip on for 30 minutes at night as I take my Korean drama/gameshow study break. I have 5 stacked in my apt. fridge and 1 in my backpack I will drink when my laptop runs out of battery and I'm forced to look up to what's going on in class.


So my battery is down to 16 minutes :(. There's no cafes really that sell these kind of drinks so if you come over to my house, we can drink over a korean movie. Ok stay good in school and lets study hard!
