I finally got everything up and running, including myself, so I apologize for the lack of posts for the past few weeks.
I had all of last week off due to summer vacation but will be returning to my hag-won on Monday. I spent the last week seeing the sights around Ulsan since I did not have enough time to plan anything for my vacation. Nonetheless, I had a great time showing Dave Ulsan and hanging around with some folks who are on their way out. The negative to this is that I have completely inverted my sleep schedule for the past week. In a very depressing sort of way it reminds me of my time recovering from my back surgery as I've been up all night and reading Harry Potter.
The good news is that I have officially been in South Korea for over two months now. I have been able to adapt well to my surroundings and have found a very solid group of people to befriend. I hope that with this foundation the next ten months will be full of fun memories and good times.
I had a great opportunity to head down to Ilsan beach with Dave again where we commenced playing carnie games and drinking with Tamsyn, Heather, and random other wayguks who showed up throughout the night. We had a great conversation with a Korean guy outside a 24 hour mart where we decided to set up camp for a few hours. It still amazes me how much information you can pass on with less than ten words of common language and non-verbal communication.
Next weekend I am planning on heading down to Busan where I will meet up with Dave and head over to an island south of Busan that was used as a POW camp during the Korean Conflict. Should be a very interesting visit.
The facts just don't add up. I think there must have been a second shouter ...
