Routines

Its been 5 days since I arrived in Gumi! I am happy to say that my jet lag experiences are over. I had nasty headaches and felt dizzy. I also thought I was in many places at once. I felt like I had been transported to korea in an instant and time had stopped and I was just waiting for it to catch up.


Language~
I have always been accostumed to different languages. Even with langauges I dont understand. Its my goal to learn Korean though. I am hoping to experience a 13th warrior moment and all of a sudden break out in Korean. I had a dream where i was speaking in Korean but I couldnt remember the words when I woke up.
My conversations are always half in Korean though. I feel I already understand what they are trying to express. My answers are simple.


My Apartment
In case I failed to mention I am currently living alone in a 3 bedroom apartment. I may get a roommate next month but at the moment its mine to enjoy. come and visit me -anyone!
I have cable but I dont understand anything unless its Sports or an American movie. i live on the 5th floor and my Academy is on the 2nd Floor.

McDonalds and Lotteria

These are two Chain restaurants. Lotteria is the Korean version and i almost prefer it. I think I will get sick of burgers though soon.


Lastly,
Drinking is a huge social thing here. I like the beer its taste is closest to Budweiser. I had some Hite and also some Cass both are very good. Definitely not as good as Hefeweisen but then again nothing ever will be. I had a drink with my boss over some Boiling chicken and starch pasta. This meal was really good. I think I will have to try it again soon!
