First day in Korea!

Today was super fun.  First, we got up and went to the US Embassy in Korea.  We had a presentation there, and that was good.  We also got introduced to some of the teachers and principals from the schools we will be at in the summer.  I will be living in Jeonju, going to an all girls Catholic school.  I talked to the principal and one of the teachers, and they were both really nice.  Website: yangeob.hs.kr

After that, we went to go get lunch.  We had all sorts of delicious Korean food ^^  We walked around for a little bit, and then we went to meet our college "supporters", who are basically our buddies for the next six weeks.  Every Tuesday and Thursday we will meet with them before we go to class, and study Korean and cultural stuff.  I share mine with 2 other girls.  He is a 24 year old Korean college student.  I finally have a Korean oppa!  Anyways, we had a lot of fun hanging out and taking the subway and buses around the city.  Seoul is beautiful!

I have to turn in my laptop now :-(
