South Korea, Finally

---

After 19 hours on a plane (Total), I've landed. Korea is very easy to get around, everything is in Engrish and everyone wants to practive their engrish. And the people are obnoxiously, By the time I left the airport I had two offers to give me ride to my hotel. I'm used to people telling me to keep my bags firmly by my side and 'if a gypsy throws a baby at you, swat it to the ground,' so it has been an adjustment when people grab my bags and carry them for because I looked weighed down.

My hotel picked me up at the airport and walked me to my room. It was awesome!!! It looked like a prison cell from the outside my opened up to a quaint minimulist style apartment, including TV, which brings me to my theory..
Stephen's Cultural Export Law "In any nation around the world, while watching cable TV, you will be garunteed a shitty American Movie"

So after watching "The Eraser" I went to bed. The next morning I woke-up early and decided to go looking around town. While eating my Korean Breakfast (Bagle, Espresso, and Coffee Cake) my ears were assaulted by American Pop Music. It sounded like a freshman that just discovered Napster and Winamp decided he was going to play everything he owned on random after downloading the top 20 for the past century. What a Wonderful World followed by My Heart Goes On by One Night in Bangkok by Yellow Submarine... even though I was a bit dismayed about the music, I rather enjoyed One night in Bangkok.

Well - Today travelling doesnt end because I'm about to hop another morning flight to Jeju Island. Peace
