About to leave

This is a blog to keep those interested up to date on my travels and adventures while abroad in Korea.  This is South Korea, not North.  Many people were curious, but I can assure everyone that I will be staying south of the DMZ and there will be no border hiking during my stay.  Mostly, what I plan to accomplish through this blog is to keep my family up to date with any fun and exciting things I see or do while in Korea.  I also hope to share all of the culture shock I experience, and all of the new, unfamiliar feelings accompanied with being in a foreign country.  I also want to share a lot of pictures and other media, as I am not a writer, and I am quite unfamiliar with the methods of writing, at length, something interesting to read.  If nothing else, I hope everyone can enjoy the pictures taken, and learn a little bit more about what South Korea has to offer.
