Shincheon

Hello again,

Seoul is a vibrant place full of lights and smells and tastes. But these guys can´t drive to save their lives. Their motto is ´bali bali´ which means hurry, hurry, quick, quick. No time to wait or take your time when you work six or seven days a week or study six days a week and have extra classes after school. I have to admit the Koreans work hard and play just as hard. I honestly don´t know where they find the energy. I finally received my hanbok ´bad picture below´ and have been keeping busy the last few weeks. Mainly eating assorted animals and drowning in soju.

Also, managed to catch my first baseball game. The Doosan Bears versus the Samsung Lions. We sat in the Samsung section so we had to support them, but I left my heart in Doosan. Of course, Doosan whooped them. At least the cheerleaders provided some respite for our morale and of course the US servicemen in front of us were just as entertaining as the game. ´Hey over here, more beer man, Hoorah!´



After the game, it was off to a restaurant with a nove animal theme. We ate Korean seafood BBQ like kings. Very nice-
