On other notes, I've been accepted to Yonsei's Korean Language Institutes, Intensive Language program which consists of four hour classes five days a week!  Pretty crazy times.  I also spoke with my friend in Hong Kong the other day, he's doing well, adapting and beating jet lag!  I'm planning to visit both he and our mutual friend in Japan in early November.  I feel like there are so many things to write about and not enough time to write them all.

On a personal note, the first several days here in Seoul, have been quite dissimilar than that of DC.  I recall feeling a total lack of time and always hurried during the first several weeks of DC.  Speaking with Tracey one day, I told her that one of the greatest challenges I had in DC was the lack of time to reflect and be contemplative.  Seoul seems to be a late starting city, well at least it is if you don't have a job, don't have school, and stay out till 3 or 4 in the morning at the noh-reh-bongs (korean karaoke places).
