Well I survived the 11.5 plane flight to Korea and traveled in time too! Its now 10pm Saturday :)
WOW, I can't tell you how beautiful it is here! There is so much to see/do here. This morning we woke up and went exploring down in Nowon City. Then later I got to open up a bank account in Korea! It was a total shock to me because I couldn't read anything and there aren't many English speaking people here. However the ones that can are really good at it.
Oh so the food- We got to eat our first real Korean meal. If you know anything about the culture you will know that they take their shoes off and eat while sitting on the floor. They brought out SO much food...believe it or not it was actually good to me. However my body rejected it a few hours later...all of us started to get stomach aches. Tonight for dinner we had Korean BBQ it was delicious! We had SAM...I think thats how you spell it. It was Pork (cooked in front of you) with lots of veggies, and some really good sauce.
We also got to meet our host families! Turns out the twin girls...it is actually a Twin girl and her twin brother! bahahahaha!!! When they wrote me it was very confusing. They were so nice to me today and can't wait to have me in their home!
Tomorrow we are going to Gyung Ju. This is a nation museum that was rated by Times magazine as a top 6 best place to visit. And apparently people are sometimes on a waiting list for a year to get to go here! I am so stoked. Well I am off to bed! Hope you are all having a great summer!

ps...I wish you were here with me!
