Today was the first day of my internship. It was pretty chill-- orientation, tour, lunch, more orientation, then they let us leave at 3. I think it'll be a pretty low key time, just researching, writing, etc. As opposed to my classmates at law firms, who were assigned to write affadavits, translate documents etc. on their very first day. I guess working for the government is easier, no matter where you are. Of course, they're getting paid. I guess working for the corporate machine is more lucrative, no matter where you are!!
Today was also the first day of my human rights seminar. It's meeting all week, from 7pm to either 9pm or 10pm. Oy. But today's discucssion was really interesting, it is only for a week, and I'm getting a unit of credit. Woo!
Last night I met up with a bunch of relatives for a celebration dinner for my cousin, who finished his military service. A lot of seafood, a lot of beer, and A LOT of soju. Also, they served bbon-dae-gi aka toasted caterpillar larvae. Needless to say, I didn't partake. There are two foods that are on my absolutely will not eat ever list-- bbon dae gi and po jhing tang (dog stew). I just don't think I can get over the mental aspect of it.
Oh, and I'm at my aunt's place now for the next two weeks, then it's off to another cousin's. I don't think I'll be able to upload any pictures on this computer, so you'll have to just use your imagination.
