Polar Express

Let's begin by saying I love my co-worker Christina. She is amazing and a wonderful friend. She takes care of me.

Today, I had 4 classes, which went well and immediately left for Busan.

Christina and I went together. She is spending the weekend with her family and accompanied me on the train.

In route to our destination we took the BUS system. The bus was an interesting experience. We had to hang onto the railings because the bus was already full of passengers. This is going to take time for me to get used to. Once we got to the train station I got some more money for my trip by using my Visa Travel Card.
We got on the train with just a minute to spare. Christina and I played phone games and I showed her pictures of my friends and life in Missoula. (Maybe I should say ex-friends Sam? Steve? since i never hear from you...WTF???))

We got to Busan which is home to over a million poeple. Its the second largest city in Korea. Christina took me to the ferry adn showed me where I need to check in. She made sure i had my hotel room and we wil see each other back at the Academy hopefully Tuesday.

We walked through a rough place in town.....Russians and Korean gangs were out wandering the streets. Since Busan is a port town many Russians come here and are just drunk. She grasped my arm as we walked by. I am thankful none of them said anything to us. But i was ready to throw down....Montana style.

I miss Christina I need someone to take care of me since I am all alone.
Here I am in my hotel room that has a sauna, a computer and a tv and it overlooks the Ocean.

i got to go because tomorrow is a huge day. I dont even know how it will turn out. Thanks Christina for making my Korean experience wonderful and my time at the Academy great beyond words!
