Suwon at last.

Hello.

So I finally made it to Suwon after 16 hours of travel, 2 delayed flights, a city bus tour of Seoul, a stay at an awesome hotel, and a ride from a friend to Suwon.

If I would recommend anything, it would be to know someone in the country that you are going to visit. It's like having a translator with you at all times, and there to watch your back.

Today is raining (surprise, surprise) just like it did yesterday. I'm having some complications with my converter and it burning everything out. Any suggestions from people who have been to Korea?


I am pretty excited because I just bought a cell phone here that I can actually call people on. I feel much more safe, and ok if I get lost. In Korea, all incoming calls are free, so it's going to be very easy to talk to my family.

Today I have orientation, in a building I'm not sure where it is. I'll have to venture out. And one thing I definitely wasn't ready for was fending for yourself when it comes to food. Some places here have pictures, some don't; and most people don't speak English. So it's kind of a point and nod game.

Well I'm off to clean up, I'll let you know how orientation went.
Tomorrow I head out to Jeju Island (The Hawaii of Korea)!
