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
Lance, Amanda.... Three Chinese names I forgot... and meeee!
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!

PEPSI! The cans are so elongated...
