Mashin' knucks in Korea.

After getting off the plane from Vancouver to Seoul it took me about 10 minutes to make a bad impression on Korea by smashing a girl square in the face with my backpack. Other then that incident everything has been top notch though. In the first two days we met so many of Tyler's friends and students and I believe that Koreans are the friendliest people I have ever met. Also they love style and cellphones. Some of them text with a cellphone in each hand to two different people at once.

Some of the tourist stuff we have done in the last 4 days include walking up to N. Seoul Tower twice. This is apparently the most famous place in Seoul and its only about a 45 minute walk from Tylers. It has a great city view. On Sunday we went to a FC Seoul soccer match at the World Cup Stadium. They had some real wild fans and ended up winning the game, giving us lots of chances to cheer. Then yesterday Brent and I did our first full day of touring by ourselves and mastering the subway system here. We went to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Korean Folk Museum, tried hiking up a mountain but got blocked by the military, hiked along a Fortress wall and famous river and then learned how to order food by pointing at pictures of something we have no clue about on a menu.

Finally, I will leave you with this story. On Sunday we went to church with Tyler, after the service a guy named Tim Hwang came and introduced himself to us and we talked for about 10-15 minutes. He was a super rad dude and very friendly. After returning to Tylers place we looked him up on the internet cause Tyler thought he had heard of him before and it turns out he is a HUGE KOREAN POP STAR! He used to have his own show on MTV Korea called Tim's World and has had many smash hit power ballads, his most famous being a song called 'I Love You.'

So thats the update on the first few days, hopefully I will put some pictures up here on the weekend.
