HOLY KO-RAP

So I made it one piece. You would think sitting wouldn't be tiring, but I'm exhausted. I think my mind's been working overtime trying to prepare itself for the ridiculouslessness of Korea. I was not prepared. Flying for me is usually not bad. It's actually quite enjoyable in small doses. But this was an 18 hour yell down war hell-ride of epic proportions.

From Dulles to San Fran I sat next to a snoring beast that did not look like it wanted to be woken up. I refrained from using the bathroom for the first 5 hours...BIG MISTAKE. By the time I figured I just couldn't hold it, the seatbelt lights went on and sealed my fate. I had to wait for another hour in a test of my might. I finally made it out of the gate and into a bathroom, but there was a line for the stalls. Every door to sweet relief lied before me closed. My stomach turned, my legs crossed slightly, I did a little dance...then some guy walks in front of all of us and opens an empty stall...

!!!

Anyway, when a stall finally opened up I seized that door as if I was a hippy and the door was the last joint at a Sultans of Swing concert. What followed was nothing short of a religious experience.

The flight from San Fran to Seoul was greuling. Okay, I'll put it like this...it's like a forced viewing of the 6 of the worst movies of the last 5 years. You do get to see the remake of Alice in Wonderland, but it sucks. And sadly enough, it'll be the best movie shown. And you can't sleep because the kid behind you is super stoked on kicking seats like he's getting paid for it.

Guh...

Well, my welcome to Korea was less than warm. When looking for the shuttle bus, I almost got conned by this random guy who I can only say looked like a korean version of this guy. He asked me where I needed to go and I asked him for the shuttle bus to Ewha, he told me he'd get me there at a "medium price." I asked him what that meant in Won and he wouldn't give me a straight answer. After telling him that I only had the equivalent of 10 US dollars he was like "GTFO out of here, kid!" I laughed and got on the bus which took me to Ewha for 8 bucks. NICE.

Getting here sucked because I haven't been able to check into a dorm because no one's here on Sundays. Just a bunch of couples that laugh at you every time you walk by. Even their giggles seem to yell "FOREIGNER LOL."

Oh yeah, if you go into a restaraunt and point at something that looks like Ramen don't expect to get ramen. I got a bunch of cold noodles in what looked like chocolate milk with an egg in it. Well at least it gave me diarreah almost instantly. Tasted great though!

Anywho, I'm off to meet with someone who might give me a place to stay for the night. Oh yeah, and to buy a camera and some power adaptors. Bye for now everyone!
