hi mom and dad!

day 2 in seoul so far things are great. it's still very cold. i'm wearing wool socks, mom, so im ok.

today i went for a stroll around the neighborhood, a lot of the side streets go on for two blocks and then just stop. i strolled for about 3 hours, making a little map along the way, and i found my way back to the hotel all by myself! i was very proud. a lot of places were closed since it's sunday, but there's a "family mart" which is like a 7-11 on every corner. i bought ramen. it was spicy and good. i bought tomato juice, all excited about it b/c i love v8, but this stuff was sweet and frothy, like a tomato smoothie. but then i found coke zero!!! yeah! if i can have coke zero, then i'm set.

training starts tomorrow morning, im eager to get in and start learning. i went to an internet cafe today to print the training schedule from my email, the young man at the counter spoke no english and me no korean, so we did a lot of gesturing and sign language. he was very nice and helped my print the things i needed. he was VERY cute, i smiled a lot, when i learn how to say, "youre very cute and thank you for helping me," im going to go back and tell him that.

im back at the hotel now, laying out my clothes for tomorrow. mom, im going to wear my black sweater and black skirt, but i have leggings for underneath, dont worry, im prepared for the cold. im eating some sort of skewer of meat i bought at a shop down the street. i hope it's not dog. ~daughter.
