The Flight!!!

Soohee and me!! A graduate of Seoul National University!!

I am a little behind, because I am just getting internet connection in the apartment I am living in. The flight was REALLY NICE!!! hahah, 1 hour to Chicago, then 14 hours to Incheon. However... I sat next to a REALLY nice Korean professor on the flight to Korea. Her name is Sohee Kim, and she teaches at Gangneung-Wongju National University. We talked for maybe 6 hours haha, about Korean culture and American culture. It was SO NICE, and made the trip seem very short. When I landed I was greeted my my dear girlfriend... who chose to dye and cut her hair, and ware high heals, and clothes I had never seen her in before (which made it almost impossible to find her kkk)

Culture Shock!!!

I will try and post all those things that are really surprising to me here.

1. Motorcycles EVERYWHERE, and they do whatever they want!!!

2. All of the cars here have tinted windows... like would be illegal in Minnesota.

3. No one moves for police cars with the cherries on, they are stuck in traffic with everyone else.

4. Food is always served REALLY fast, and there is always something ready for you to eat while you wait for your meal.

5. The buildings are all cold!! They only use heat in the rooms that people are using, so when you walk through the halls, its like being outside.

6. People are always running!! It is a little funny to see at first, but they are all serious. It is a really fast paced lifestyle for a lot of people here.

7. On the contrary, most of the people who are sitting on the subways are napping!!

8.Taxi drivers are NUTS!!!!!! I have seen them run red lights to pick up customers, make U turns right in front of oncoming traffic (with no intersection to be found), swerve in front of buses, and at every light, they are honking their horn!!! (haha, I am not exaggerating actually, it is every light when there is a car in front of them) But, they are fast :)

There is a lot more... I will post as I remember
