Last Days in Korea


My last two days in Korea were jam packed with things to do (by the way, I am back in the "States" now - safe and sound). On Monday we had our homestay with a Korean family. I stayed with Moon, pictured left, and his brother. We walked around downtown Daegu and met up with Sun (yes..Sun and Moon - perfect). We went to a fusion restaurant which was a combination of Korean style food and Western foods. It was excellent. Then onto karaoke again. That's flavored soju by the way. Its kind of like a mix of wine and vodka. Its everywhere.







The last day we experience some traditional Korean music and cooked some Korean rice cake (different from rice cakes).












The last night we had a house party at Sun's parents apartment. He said that Koreans really didn't have parties at their home, so he was excited. His parents were excited too. They had never had this many foreigners in their home. They took a picture with us. After that...what else? Karaoke one last time.





I arrived home at 1 am on Thursday morning and was hit with jetlag a bit. It was a 14 hour flight to Korea, but it only took 11.5 hours to get back. Anything above 6 is brutal though.

I had an amazing time in Korea and I'm glad that you guys could share a bit of it with me. Sorry it took so long to publish this last post. Thanks to all of the Korean students for such a great time. They really are the most hospitable and caring people on this earth. Besides Shaq. Bye.
