Howdy

Well it has been a month..... Nothing too exciting to report. I have been working the 9 to 5 just like any regular Joe here in Korea. Well except that I am not so regular and I continually get stared at just about everywhere I go. I've kinda gotten used to it. I have pretty much adjusted to working here and have been in a regular routine. I have been having some troubles with my school, so I am not sure what could happen. If you see me home in a few months, don't be surprised. I get the feeling they are having some financial issues, but since I don't speak Korean, heck if I know: The glory of being a foreigner.

I did go to Mud-Fest last week with some friends. It is one of the largest festivals here in Korea and goes on for a week. The Festival is supposed to be where you come out and coat yourself in Boryeong mud which is supposed to have special properties that make it good for you. Essentially though it is just a reason to go with your friends to the beach, coat yourself in mud and get into shenanigans. I also happened to see the most amount of foreigners (ie: me) there so far. I almost felt like I was at home! I posted some pics of all the excitement.

This weekend I will be traveling to Busan, the second largest city in Korea with a friend that is visiting me from the states. The following week I will be heading to Thailand for my summer vacation. Wish me luck.
