Its been a while since I updated the blog... I have a lot of photos etc. to put up, but that will have to be anther time - I gotta post quick for now.

Here in Seoul, my classes are mostly going well. "International Conflicts and Cooperation" is a very fun class, and I like debating world politics with people from other countries (mostly Europeans). On the other hand, I am going to have to drop my American Lit. class - the prof. expects me to read about 100 pages a week, and write a 2 page essay every weekend. Not happening...

On Sunday I hiked some mountain here with some friends - I cant remember the name. Most of Korea is mountains, and from what I can see, I think the old folks around here spend every second of free time hiking the mountains. Its quite comical ; imagine enough elderly folks trying to hike a mountain that there is a long waiting line, and at every place where the ground is level there is an open-air exercise gym with a hundred 80-year-old men and women all twisting and hoolahooping and even bench-pressing. And they all drink liquor at the summit... From what I'm told, this is a common sight on all the mountains in Korea...

Thats all for now - more sometime later. :P
