First days in Yeong-Ju

This picture with the food is what we ate for dinner the other day. The pile of stuff at the bottom is kimchi. That's pickeled spicy cabbage. I can't say that I'm a fan yet, but I've heard from most people that it grows on you, so we'll see. The stuff on skewers is meat and something else. Maybe something made from rice? The red sauce is spicy and sweet, and very delicious :) Yum.

Hello :) I arrived safely in Korea, hurrah! I was nervous about feeling isolated and lonely here since I don't know the language, but so far I absolutely love it! Everyone is very kind and welcoming and friendly here, the food is delicious (if somewhat spicy), and my apartment would be perfect were it not for the shoddy flooring job. But that's ok :) Here are a few pictures from my stay here so far. The one with the bed is of my bedroom. I have a TV and DVD player. The bed is a little hard, but comfy enough. The picture after that is of my kitchen. On the left you also see my washing machine, which has a hose that isn't long enough to reach the water supply in the bathroom. I'll fix it fairly soon, probably. :)

Anyhoo, I need to go to the bank before I head off to the school, but I hope everyone back at home is doing well. I'll post again soon, hopefully. My internet is supposed to be connected sometime this week, so that'll make this whole long distance communication thing a little bit easier. :)
