It's kind of difficult to describe this without pictures, but I will try

I will probably have a post later, hopefully within the next couple days, with all the pictures of the things I will talk about.  Until then, the written word will have to do.

As i said before I got to Korea Sunday afternoon.  I had left Saturday morning from Houston, but i also went 15 hours into the future, so the trip actually took about 18 hours.  I got to my dorm room and I met my roommate for orientation, Yong(seok).  He was actually on my flight from Chicago to Incheon airport, but we had only met briefly.  Though initially wary, as I am of most people, I soon, well almost immediately found out that he is really cool and extremely funny.  He is Korean, and he speaks, so that is helpful as we go around campus or through the town, or in restaurants.

Monday morning was one of the optional activities we were given the opportunity to go on before orientation officially began on Wednesday.  It was to a Korean folk village, and they would transport us, feed us a bulgogi lunch, etc, etc.  I wasn't going to go because I wasn't ready at the time that I thought they were leaving, but then Yong came and said I should still go.  And so, along with him, I rushed down to where the bus was waiting.

It took probably about 1.5 hours to get there, but on the way I met more people.  The folk village was fun, and there was a sort-of amusement park with a few animals and rides and a mini-arcade.  I played the Korean version of Dance Dance Revolution, but, as with DDR, I was not very good.

The village itself was very interesting.  they had houses in various styles, houses with heated floors, and even a Korean stockade and prison.  in the jail itself you were allowed to go in one of the cells.  the door for entering and exiting the was quite small, so when leaving, there was a sign above the door that said, 'Head Carefulness'.  i lol'd.

That night a bunch of people, including myself went to go tour around the town to see what was there, and that was fun.  got to meet even more people, though even now I struggle to remember everyone's names, besides the ones I interact with on a regular basis.  I guess I still have two weeks to master them all
