Things I love here...

- Natives from China and Hong Kong
They are so cute. I can't remember their Chinese names at all... So I gave these two girls English names. [Left - Lillian... Lily for short, 'cuz she's small and cute, and Right-Sabrina 'cuz her Chinese name is xiabing (夏冰)]. I forgot the guy's name. >__<
- Free cold purified water everywhere I eat and inside my dorm.
The water tastes so good... Because it's just so crisp and flavorless. :D
-My room mate
She's so chill and sheds hair like me. So we can't tell whose hair is shedding most. She doesn't snore. And she's just open to whatever.
- The food, decent price, no need to tip, no tax
I just had lunch. Five people for approx. $22. All the places also look so contemporary. Very clean. I like how the majority of the menu has the picture of the dish on it. And the presentation of the food is very cute or well-layed out all the time...
These two dishes above cost $7 total, if I remember correctly. Fed Nate and me both.
- PEACE buddies
Amazing, energetic, enthusiastic, helpful, fun, knowledgeable, decisive, and just about everything cool. They bring us all around, helped us get cellphones, plan activities, take us places to eat... They are like our personal tour guide.

Jihyun (My PEACE buddy) and Me

- The plethora of places to shop.. street shops... and gorgeous malls...
- Finding a Canto speaker from France
- Cute, delicious dessert places
- The International-ness
I'm not just learning about Korea....~

Enjoying Korea~!

The past two days have been pretty cool. I have no idea what I have been eating, but two of the dishes were super really spicy. One dish looked like it had eyeballs in it, but who knows... The greatest thing so far is just meeting all the new people. What's even greater is that we're all international students, and it's fun hearing all the accents people have when speaking English. I had no idea I'd actually also be putting my Mandarin and Cantonese into good use. Nate is also putting his German to good use, too. Sooo many German and Chinese people here~~~
The scenery is similar to Hong Kong... except the buildings are slightly shorter, I suppose. And the smell is pretty unique... Some places smell good because of all the food around... Other places smell like... butt. I haven't tried street food yet, but all of it looks super yummy.
I've also been enjoying the nightlife of Korea. I've stepped out of my comfort zone and went bar hopping with people I've already become attached to. Nate wasn't lying when he told me the main things people do here are dancin' and drinking. Nate is always at my side at night, so it's not too bad.... A PEACE buddy event was even held at Osamas where people drank and danced. I would never have thought a school organization would have an event with 100+ people going to a bar. No one is ever carded.
I start school on Monday. It will be nice learning how to read and write soon...

Hendrick, Linda, Daniel, Leslie, Nate, Meee, Melanie, Stacey

The Germans and the Half-Koreans

The PEACE Buddy Gathering

PEACE Buddy lunch after school tour... This is the only dish the restaurant had.

The ECC. The new place that was just constructed... Pretty sweet. Here there's restaurants, bakery, bank, gym, market, theatre... computer room... yeahh...

Cute kids at the daycare center next to my dorm.

Woo! I-House!!!

Daniel, Amanda, Linda, Lance, Nate, Me, Armstrong, Hendrick, Matias, Stacey!

Stacy and me @ a Chinese restuarant with a PEACE Buddy!

The ECC from the other side.

PEPSI! The cans are so elongated...

Train station... Also- a shortcut to the dorm

First thing I ate in Korea.... It was cooked in front of us...

Safely landed in South Korea...

I can't believe I'm actually here. Kinda reminds me of Hong Kong. I already had my first encounter with a 3" bug with HUGE legs (bigger legs than daddy long legs and a lot thicker... sickening thought, isn't it?...) in my dorm room. I hope to never come across one of those monsters ever again... Too bad my balcony door has to stay shut from now on. I'm just quite lucky that a girl across the hall gained enough courage to help me kill it as I cowered away.
Other than that, the only other thing I had trouble with was the bathroom situation... It's very awkward having the sink, shower, and toilet all in the same area with nothing separating each item. Hopefully I'll gain better control of the shower head so that I don't make puddles on the sink counter, toilet... and wet the toilet paper. Let's see how my first day of Korea goes when I wake up...

My entertainment~

Rocks nearby

Killer bug
