Looks Beautiful
Wow..only in Asia do you find lovely architecture like that. Probably comparable to the Rune stones here, though they brought up and old Viking dragonboat in Stockholm recently. It's cool to see you're seeing old friends and things. I met a girl from Yonsei here. There are 4 Koreans here that are quite friendly. Welps, have fun!

Noraebang
norae == sing bang == room PC bang == room with PCs for rent. They're everywhere in Seoul. Life is slower? I don't think so. You'll find out later. You will learn about ppali-ppali

bank for foreigners
The Korea Exchange Bank must be one of the most foreigner-friendly banks in Korea. They are fashioning themselves as the bank for foreigners. Might be good to check this bank out.

...amazing...
Rebekah, Your pictures and writings are beautiful. You have already seen so much. I am mesmerized by the way you have began to capture the culture in your pictures. I really admire your courage for taking such a huge step into such an alien culture to girls back in the states. I hope that the classes improve. At least you can't be called out during the first day of class, since the first day is already over. Sounds like you are going to be crazy busy with work. I hope all is going well. Thanks so much for sharing your jouney.

Chinese in Korea
"Chinese tea" One thing that you should quickly learn is that the Koreans do not like it when you call some of the things/practices that you find on the peninsula as Chinese something e.g. Chinese tea -> simply 차 cha Chinese new year -> should be lunar new year

Intense
Bekah, First day of class sounds so intense! intimidating and exhilirating... Rebekah, I 'm sorry I've missed your calls, keep trying! I want to talk to you. In fact, email me your phone number again. For some reason I don't have it... Also, I just read your journal entry via email..another powerful one...more on that soon.. the pictures are amazing, as usual..nice obeservation on the contrast between modern and traditional life..do you feel like Korea is struggling with identity issues? Also tensions between: eastern/western buddhist/christian communist/capitalist uniting with nkorea/loyal to USA etc identity.. interseting theme for the both of us too, huh? I LOVE YOU. Srh

old friends and new
i am a 2004 alum of MC, and I knew a lot of the Korean students--especially Min Woo! Please tell her "hello" for me! I am a Spanish major, and I spent a semester in Venezuela, but it sounds like you are really getting the full experience. Just remember: don't run yourself too hard--it is important to get sleep. :) I, too, love your writing style!

Pretty amazing stuff! It sounds almost unreal. I'm still sad I won't get to see you this summer! Oh, well. Korea's probably more fun than HHI or where ever anyways. Love and prayers, your shortest cuz.

RBKH these pics are breathtaking. it looks like the exotic adventure you were looking for... well, maryville is pretty exotic these days too...i mean, christin said she saw a cockroach traveling accross the table, followed by two littler ones..she asked them where they were going and they said something about a religious pilgrimage to the ganga river... yeah, hows that for new events in maryville?hm? so without further adieu... I MISS YOU!! SRH
