One night in Ewha in Seoul

Ok my keyboard got stuck in Korean mode. I finally closed everything in windows I could to get rid of the Korean typing helper...

So it's 7 am and I'm waiting on some places to open so I can get some breakfast. Right outside from the university is a Burger King and Dunkin Doughnuts.

I'm trying to upload a few videos that I took so I'll keep at it.

Man the subway system is crazy in Seoul. I had no idea how big the city was. It's incredibly huge. I thought that since Korea was a small country, it's cities would be like Atlanta where they are managable by skateboard in 3 hours (going everywhere that's interesting).

I was dead wrong, this place is sooo huge. Plus it is has hills like no other. This might be because I had to tredge my suitcases and bookbag up and down those hills, but none the less, it definatly has some steep hills.

I really wish some breakfast place would open so I can go eat, but I think I have to wait until 8 am.

In other news, I just washed some clothes, but since I didn't have any detergent, I just used some fabric softener that I saw next to the washing machine.... At least they'll smell good right? haha.

On the way over to Ewha I had an old korean woman talk to me on the street, I think what she was trying to ask was if I was a hobo living out of my suitcases, so I just said yeah and after a little bit, she gave me a bitter look and left. It was pretty funny.

Later this morning around 9 am, I'm going to buy a bus ticket to the west coast. I think I'll be okay in getting my point across, but at the other bus stations in the country, it will be a lot harder to explain to them where I want to go. Luckily, I have a card with Ewha's number on it so they can call the international house and have them interperate for me.

Oh yeah, the first time I bought something (a muffin and milk for yesterday's breakfast) I got laughed at by the store clerk since I handed him the wrong bill (I paid two 10000 won bills instead of two 1000 won bills). Ooops haha. After that, I went back to the best western, took my money out and made sure that I knew the difference between the bills better. That clerk sure thought I was a dumb foreigner.

Looks like the videos won't be able to make it to the internet today. Google video isn't working (and it auto translates the entire google site to korean...). I'm not sure what kind of PC access I'll get until I make it to Busan in two weeks or so.

Time to check the lundary!
