Here I am two and a half months under my belt and I already feel like a veteran. I've settled and adjusted and now its just scary how normal everything is. I am amazed at how many misconceptions I had drawn when I first got here that I am slowly uncovering. The whole experience so far has been very refreshing.

Two weeks ago I went to Jinhae for the Cherry Blossom Festival and last weekend I headed up near Seoul. The first night there we ended up in this huge night club (foreigners are usually not allowed in these places so it was extra special) it was equipt with "table girls" (like prostitutes for old businessmen) and a Vegas style stage show.
