An'nyong haseyo




Me and some Koreans

People that helped me in Chun'cheon


Greetings earthlings. I have been in Korea for a couple days now and it has been an amazing trip so far. There was some trouble with my flight but I got here safely. Once I arrived in Seoul, I took a 2 hour bus ride to Chun'cheon. There I waited for about an hour for my ride to come (they thought the ride would be 3 hours). Fortunately, Koreans and very nice and tried their best to help me, but none of them spoke English, and even though they knew I did not speak Korean they continued to talk to me. I finally met a taxi driver that spoke English and he called my ride. So far, I have taken my language placement test, had a full day of Korean language classes, and sat through several culture workshops. What can I say? So far Korea has been great even though its extremely humid. BTW An'nyong haseyo means good morning, good afternoon, and good night.

Peace and Love,

Mike Athy
