Annyong Haseyo from Korea!

I'm here in Korea... I'm writing this entry from the local PC Bang (room) around the corner from my temporary room here in Naju.


I'm on a week-long "quarrantine" here in South Korea, which means a week's paid vacation and camping in a dorm room for a local university. Once I get my allowance and go shopping in Gwangju (the large city nearby), I'll pick up a voltage/plug converter so that I can use my laptop and access the internet from my room. I wrote some travel entries on my laptop and have taken about a bajillion pictures, so I'll upload those when I can.

The keys to my dorm has a flat device on it that says "laser" and "torch" on it. I can't tell if it's a flash light or a taser...

I'm really hungry! I haven't eaten since lunch with Eun-ju yesterday (which was delicious!), so I'm looking forward to hitting the grocery store that wasn't open when I got out and about (about 8am). The food for lunch yesterday was really good. The soup was so spicy that I choked a couple of times and what I thought were water chestnuts were chopped pieces of raw garlic! I really liked the cucumber in some kind of red sauce and the dried anchovies. The pork was good, too. Very smoky.

Well, time here at the PC Bang is almost up. Wish me luck navigating the food! Annyong-hi gyeseo!

  1. Tamara that's so cool! My tongue is envious of yours as it gets to taste Korean foods. I hope it is lots of fun over there :)
