South Korea, the land of the morning calm... and the mad rush to get to your English class. The land of soju, the noraebang, PC-bang, DVD-bang, and any other bang you can think of.

The modern metropolis of Seoul is reputedly the third most populated city on the planet, and the constant hustle and bustle never gives you respite from a crowd. Neon signs, lunatics on the road, and 24-hour Chinese deliveries via moped along the footpath. Seoul is busy.

But in amongst the craziness of the city is the tranquility of mountains. Easily accessible within the city and even more on the outskirts.

History is everywhere. The structures such as Namdaemun from the 14th Century present a culture that has thrived for an eternity; all nestled amongst the modern.

This is the Republic of Korea... a country of contrast.

People i met here who contributed to, and improved my trip: Mark (Holland), Kevin (USA), Andrew (England), Al (Australia), Joon (South Korea) When i first arrived into South Korea, my plan had been to spend 3 days in Seoul and get the hell out of there. As it turned out, i loved the city very much and kept extending my stay to see more things and hang out with the wonderful people that i was meeting. So when Mark, a Dutch guy staying in the hostel told me it was his birthday celebration...

These are various pictures I took while we were driving around the city, either on the Seoul City Bus Tour or on our trip up to the DMZ.  Seoul Skies First and foremost, you can't help but notice that you can hardly see anywhere in Seoul! I wondered if it was fog, pollution, or what.  I thought at night it would clear some and we'd have a better view from our room but no such luck.  You can see almost all my photos look grainy - it's not a bad camera, just really hard to see...

I've rebounded from homesickness and such and am doing very well ... I am so fortunate to have (literally) the world's best friends. I've had a great past few days with my friends and students in the sunshine (which I will talk about more in depth later) and am PUMPED to see my parents this SATURDAY in Japan!!I've learnt I can only control what happens to me to a certain extent, but that I can absolutely control my reaction. Happiness. I choose happiness.

South Korea: The plane ride and 36 hours before the trip

    The day I left NYC for South Korea was filled with activities. I worked a 12-hour shift the night before. And when I reached home, I used my sleeping time to clean my apartment, do laundry, and finish packing. Then at 4pm, I left for classes. I had two classes that night from 455 until 915pm. Needless to say, it was torture. I have been up for 28 hours. As soon as my class ended, I rushed back to my place and made sure I had everything and made sure my apartment in order as...
