Like I said from the start...it's going to be difficult for me to blog.  I've been in Korea now for 24 days.  I'm pretty well situated by now, yet I know I will come across something new each day.  My girlfriend suggested that if I have a hard time blogging, then I should just post pictures and tell about them, so I'll probably do that in the near future...or even this update.

Things I've done since my last blog:

- Found milk that does not upset my stomach (took 3 tries)

- Been to Seoul 3 times, going to different places each time (Gangnam, Hondae, Itaewon, Anguk)

- Navigated and rode the subway in Seoul, solo, without getting lost

- Eaten more Korean food and managed to stay away from most stuff that I don't like

- Went to Costco

- Been run into by at least 500 Koreans not watching where they are going

- Started a new exercise routine

- Finished the 1st two weeks of school

- Met up with my Korean friend Min Hyung who I met through UMKC

- Attempted to go bungee jumping only to be rained out

- Drank a bottle of Soju (yuck)

- Almost got used to cheap beer

- Went to a dance club and enjoyed it for just a bit

- Toured a palace

- Ate at Outback Steakhouse =)

I've started a new Sunday ritual.  Sunday night is Bakery night.  The bread here is AMAZING.  There is a bakery about 5 minutes from my apartment.  So I wait till the evening, then head down to the bakery.  After buying the best bread I've ever had, I head back home, but I stop at the convenience store to pick up an orange Capri Sun for 500 Won (50 cents) for the walk home.  This new thing has only been going on for 2 weeks, but it will continue.  

I'm enjoying my time here.  Yes, I do miss home!  I miss my girlfriend, my family and my friends, but I feel pretty good about my decision to come here.

Here are some pictures...  They may be up above or down below...formatting on here stinks...
