Crown Itaewon Hotel Seoul

... took me to the airport the next morning and did her best to hold the tears in, knowing she would see me in 7 short weeks. She'll be so busy training for the Seoul 1/2 Marathon that I am sure the weeks will fly by. As for me it's back to the US for 4 days and then off to Espana to complete my TEFL. All in all a good trip, because, despite not liking the food, or finding Korea all that interesting, I got to see my girlfriend for the first time in ten months and that's all that matters.

... naushin, kat (?) and I went for a couple of beers of just ********ted about how cool we all were and where we were from. <br><br>Monday night though, Heather and I went to play screen golf, which Heather had been talking a considerable amount of **** about how good she was. Now, I didn't know what this was and kind of expected to be playing some kind of video game like Golden Tee, but alas I would actually ...

<br>So I haven't written in a while (though I've been making heaps of notes) and actually I'm writing this in the hotel lobby in Gyeongju. Seoul was absolutely amazing. Bong House, the place we stayed at was OK compared to the other places I've stayed at. Mr. Bong himself was extremely helpful and the people we met there were quite nice too. The location was alright, the best thing was that it was located on line 4 of the subway which ...

... soo happy to get off the subway.  My home-stay mom came and picked us up from another subway station, so that we wouldn't have to take the subway all the way home.  The apartment my sis lives in is directly across the street from where the olympic games were in 1988.  These apartments were the apartments used by the athletes during the games.  There are 5,500 units.  Some of them are 24 floors high, but the one we are staying in is 12 and we are on the 6th floor ...

... There we waited for the rest of the group, including Min and her mother who were waiting in a different section of Gimpo Airport. Incheon Airport had a food court with lots of choices. There was also a water dispenser and sterilized metal cups/utensils for general use.<br><br>4 hours after I landed, the entire tour group of 9 united and was off.

Day 4: Gwangju and Potpourri We woke up at 6:00am to take the high speed train (The KTX) to Gwangju. It is in the south-west part of South Korea, about 3 hours by train going 290 km/hour. The train ride itself was an amazing experience in that we got to see much of the country side. It was field after field of rice with tall, lush mountains in the background. When we arrived in Gwangju our social worker took us to the SWS children's home to see the orphanage I was from and ...

... my bags and shouting and frantically rushing me inside and up these stairs in such a blur that I have no concept of where I am or what just happened, or why we are in such a hurry. I am shown my room, and now the frenzy is replaced with quiet. Almost 24 hours after leaving Dave's house (where I slept only one hour), the journey is over. The room is hardly bigger than the bed, but it ...

... a very positive trait to have especially since I am living here for an entire year!<br><br>It&#8217;s April though and my birthday is tomorrow! Just as things change with time, so may my views. I will keep you posted in the months to come! <br><br>Currently listening:<br>Temperature<br>By Sean Paul<br>Release date: 2006-03-275:46 AM 6 Comments(Add Comment) |0 KudosTranslate Edit Remove

... gouda, brie, goat cheese rolled in herbs, parmagiane reggiano for heaven's sake!!!!!), Glade air fresheners, Tresseme (spelling?!?) shampoo and conditioner, etc...... Even the food court at this Costco is exactly the same as the one back home! Pizza and everything!!! I bought Cherrios, Kirkland brand lotion (two huge bottles for $11), a REAL pillow!, antibacterial wipes for household cleaning, Platex tampons, and good face wash. Between my local grocery ...

... Skyping with Paul in Seongnam. A great time had by all. 934pm KST and it's off to see "The Day the Earth Stopped", an update with Keanu(1015pm KST showing). Home by 12am and a final walk for Little H. OK, an exciting start to the rest of our lives. Don't you agree? Hope so. Until tomorrow, be nice and be safe out there!
