It is my third day here in Goseong, South Korea. Here are some images from my plane flight and from the motel of my first night.






So far, Korea is great and everyone is really friendly. I think because I look asian they don't assume that I am a foreigner, though I know I dress like one. I don't know many Korean words, only "Hello" and "Thank you". That is enough to get by on so far. Here is my first Korean meal:

It was just a collection of small dishes, but we couldn't finish all of it, it was so much! My co-teacher took me to this traditional restaurant for dinner Friday, my first whole day in Korea. It was small and hard to find, so I don't know if I would be able to return to it, but it is in the same area as the supermarket. Maybe when I get more accustomed to the area I will be able to eat here again. We sat on cushions on the floor. I wasn't used to eating with chopsticks and a spoon, I still find it redundant and strange, but I'll get used to it.
My co-teacher tells me this type of meal used to be only for the upper class and royalty. The lower classes would only get about 4-5 small dishes to eat from. Anyway, it was so delicious!
