Hey hey! My second post from Korea. Cool.

Anyways, it's been a fun, tiring couple of days. Thursday I spent the day window shopping with one of my cousins. We went to a couple of crazy shopping areas, where the sales people harass you in the name of being attentive. The whole time I kept thinking- man, Sarah would love this place. I, on the other hand, have very little patience for shopping and searching, so after a while all the shoes/purses/clothes started looking the same. Yesterday I met up with one of my cousins and her adorable son, and then ate dinner at this crazy delicious dumpling place. Also went to my great aunt's place. She lives in this 100 year old house in the older part of Seoul, where all the rich intellectuals used to live. It's a really awesome place, straight out of a historical Korean drama. Pictures to come later.

Jet lag. Man, jet lag sucks. I get reaaaally sleepy around 7 or 8 pm, when it's 3 or 4 am California time. I force myself to stay awake until around 11, and then I usually wake up at 6 am (2pm california time) and force myself back to sleep until around 7:30 am. I think it's getting better though. Another couple of days and I'll be fine.

Whenever I go to Korea, I feel very fat and homely. The girls here are so dainty and skinny, and wear cute outfits and shoes all the time. On the other hand, I'm comfortable in my scrubby clothes, and I really enjoy food. So I'm probably happier.

The cell phone technology in America pales in comparison to here.

Alright. Peace out.
