lots of koreans in korea

so yeah, i've been here a week to the day and suffered through an orientation at the hyundai learning centre and met a few people that are pretty awesome. i've mostly kept to myself because, i don't know, i didn't feel like making the effort to make decent friends. the ones that i did befriend (ie. chris, mike, caitlin, allison and paul) i enjoyed their company and their experiences. they'll be good buddies in the future. it was a whole lot of learning about the korean culture, eating the food (who knew kimchi had fish oil in it?), lots of presentations and bonding and stuff. overall, my favourite part of the week was walking down the hill and into town and hanging out there with mike and paul and just observing small town korean culture. so yeah, now i'm here in seoul as of yesterday and it's overwhelmed me like nothing else. i'll post a video of my new place right here if i can figure out how things work.
as well, here is a link to pictures of the last day at orientation and first day in seoul. this blogging thing is a joke.
