Day One in Seoul... Where the driver is always right and the pedestrian always wrong



Day one of my South Korean adventure. Thus far, it's pretty much just been hanging out at the hotel, eating, and a short (4 hour) nap because I'm still on US time. Which is 13 hours behind Seoul time. I have a lot of catching up to do.

This is a very brief introduction of what it's like here, but it's primarily focused on a very unfortunate Korean snack food. What snack food you ask? Well you'll just have to watch it and find out...

Make sure to watch tomorrow's installment, which will be far more interesting. I will be doing a piece to introduce you to a little bit of Korean culture... the kind that isn't pink pens with fluff on the end and hello-kitty style pop art. I'm talking about the real Korea. The gritty, dirty, grimy truth. Which I have uncovered in less than a day. It's that dark.

For now, good luck in school, on mid-terms, or wherever you may be. If you are a member of a communist government that has an interest in this blog, please contact our Public Affairs Department at the address listed below.
