Seoul

Cutest Rice cakes in the world, in Shinsegae Department Store

This is where I ate Bi-Bim-Bop today, also in Shinsegae

This is me and my Aunt's poodle Leon, he is ridiculous but I secretly really enjoy him.

So luckily I made it to Seoul in one piece after a 10 hour flight from San Francisco to Incheon Airport. I've been here for two days and I am so overwhelmingly excited and happy to be here it feels as if I am going to burst. Yesterday my Aunt showed me how to work public transportation, and how to get to Yonsei University, where I will be studying for 6 weeks. It's about an one hour commute, and it is a bit intimidating, but I think I will be able to manage. We also went to Shinsegae department store and walked around the Terminal which is a huge underground market full of really cheap clothes and knick knacks.  Today I went back to Shinsegae on my own and walked around for a long time, I bought some gifts for a few friends, which I think are pretty neat. I was pretty proud of myself for not getting lost or stressed out. Everything is overwhelming cluttered with cutesy bright things it makes my eyes want to explode. Tomorrow I get to go on a 3 day fieldtrip and meet some of my classmates. I'm really excited/super nervous about it because I've never really had asian friends before and I'm not really sure what to expect. I feel kind of like a little kid hoping to make friends and not to be the dorky odd-one-out. I guess we'll see.
