This was taken about 40 minutes after I got off the plane.

The food here is okay but it's very spicy. Find you a good place that offers a good soup with meat, then add you some rice, and you've got yourself a good meal. They have many side-dishes that come with what you order, all for like about $3.00 U.S. dollars, so you get your money's worth. It's like I said though: Beware of spicy food.

I've tried Kimchi, which tasted more like a spicy cabbage that was a bit tough to eat. It wasn't bad, Mr. Bolt. I'll admit, though, that there are several kinds of Kimchi that I've never tried.

There's a lot of seaweed here, too. I haven't seen much fruit over here yet, either.
 
I'm still in the adjustment phase though. Until my next post.

Goodnight America.

Good morning to me :)

I am the only American attending the University of Incheon for the Fall 2012 semester.

There are mostly Spaniards here, along with other Europeans mostly from Germany. There are about 25 Chinese students here too, or so I've been told. Learning that I'm the only U.S. student in Incheon did make me feel lonely, but I'm trying to work over that right now.

I like my buddy Myengsoo. He's trying to show me everything I need to know to survive here, and he's trying to show me places where I can go where there will be people who can better understand me and my needs.

I registered for classes yesterday, and since they begin on Monday, then I'm a little anxious about it. All of this excitement has made me forget that this is my last Fall ever as an Undergraduate student ever, especially since I'm a senior. Clearly, I want to finish off strong here.

So, I arrived in S. Korea (Incheon) yesterday on Wednesday, August 23rd. The flight was about 14 hours long and 10 minutes. It wouldn't have been such a bad flight if the seats didn't make me so stiff and the food a bit sick. Yet, I arrived at the airport and waited about 30 minutes for my luggage. Then, I got to see Myengsoo and his mother, both of whom were waiting right at the airport for me. They were really nice to me and took care of my luggage and all.

It took us an hour to reach the part of Incheon that we needed to reach. Incheon is a sprawling city with many tall buidlings seemingly almost everywhere, yet oddly enough, it rarely has traffic jams, unlike Seoul. Incheon is more where people live and it seems to be a city heavily dependent on the services industry for employment.  Economic development is here but not to the point where the city is massive and the streets overly-bustling.

Incheon University is huge. At lander, we devote about one floor to each college. Over here, it's one extremely tall building per each college. They have a total of about 13 colleges ranging from the social sciences, to Engineering, and etc. The campus is huge but it's numbered well.

I so look forward to the flight experience. I've never been out of the US but I've never been on an airplane either. One time I got on a helicopter but I don't think that counts for much. Anway, I'm going to be doing this very soon. The days are flying by.

The only thing I'm worried about now is luggage and the whole airplane experience. What I should pack? What I should keep home? What should I bring with me? I had a list made out months ago but I still can't help but think and think, you know.

Either way, I hope all things go smoothly at the airport.

Until my flight on August 22, 2012, at 12:35! Oh, I
