Korea Korea!

I'm here safe and sound! Living it up in Paju, South Korea. About 12 miles from the N Korean border and an hour bus ride from downtown Seoul. I'm living with my brother Jason's friend Dan the Man. We have a sweet apartment with hardwood floors that are great for sliding around on. It's about a 10 minute walk from our place to school.

So far the people here in this country have been very hospitable and helpful. Our supervisors have also been wonderful with helping us get settled in!

Last Friday Dan and I went to Seoul to explore and have some dinner. Around midnight, we were walking in our neighbourhood, heading home from the bus stop and we were pulled onto a patio of a bar by some foreigners (from New Zealand and the States) who insisted that we have "a beer" with them. 3 beers and a bunch of Soju (nasty hard alchohol) later we eventually made it home. But this was after we went to their apartment (in the same complex as ours) and found the Kiwi laying on the floor in front of the elevator, next to his own puke... awsome! So, we went in and the American shot my leg with one of his air/bebee type guns (he had 4), then he showed us the weights he could lift and pumped those for a bit and showed us all the stuff he stole and the garbage that he's been tossing out the windows of his 10th floor apartment... we were so charmed that we had to leave.

It's been exciting so far and we're getting around just fine. Trying all sorts of food and slowly setting up our crazy nice apartment to suit our needs.
