I Apologize

Sorry for the lack of updates. I'm really terrible with this thing. I honestly meant to update it tonight with a story. However, at 7 pm, I got a call from a friend inviting me out to eat hwe, (raw fish, which I used to call "sashimi," but I learned tonight that sashimi is the Japanese name and we don't care much for Japan here), and if there's one thing I've learned while here, it's to not say "no" because you'll miss out on something fun. Anyhoo, here was my plan for tonight:

Eat dinner
Read
Study Korean
Study Spanish
Update blog with a story

I did a tiny bit of reading before I got the call (I'm reading a book about Korea by a British traveler that traveled here 20 years ago. It's very interesting and gives a lot of information on contemporary history that I and every foreigner I've met is completely ignorant of. It's really helped me understand and respect the people here a lot more and is definitely something I'll try to do when I travel next year. (Thanks for the book, ma and pa)), I ate dinner with friends and now I'm about to study Spanish. So three out of five isn't too bad. Being flexible provides for many great experiences, maybe too many since I don't have the time nor energy to update this thing with all of them, so I'm sorry. I've really learned that what I love about being in a different place is the people. Going and sightseeing tourist attractions with others can be fun, and boring on your own, but having a normal evening with a good group of local people can't be beat. Expect the unexpected.
