September 11th Update Part II

So where did I leave off? I have a little bit of time to draft out more of my life thus far as my water is heating up for my shower.

So the folks at Wonju are great. Larry is an awesome person. He's an old TaLK scholar form Baltimore that shows good old southern hospitality. Amy loves the azn guys, and she's into Kpop. Also there to guide us noobs around Wonju and Seoul. Enshea is from a neighbouring city, but she stops by sometimes during weekend, and she's super friendly and loves KPOP too. My generation includes Ryan, Cailin, Julie, Erika, and Kyla in the city. I live literally 4 minute bike ride from Cailin and Julie, so we go out n grocery shop together. They're good girls. Cailin is from Australia. Julie is American. They're not the "LETS GET FUCKING WASSSTED AND SHIT FACED YEAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!" type of girls. So they're good in my books. Kyla is a drinker, I think, and she has a stronger personality. I don't talk to her as often, she lives further away. Ryan is like the silent type. Never know what's he up to. Erika is half Korean, and she smokes. She and Ryan are also American. Most of the Wonju folks went together to Seoul, which I'll detail that trip later on.

Wonju itself has a population of 300k, but from the AK Palaza and the downtown core, it seems like it's a bigger city than 300k. Lot's of people, flashy signs. Roads busy with cars and buses. I live on the outskirts of Wonju, southern outskirts, actually. About 20 minute bike ride from the downtown core. It's really quiet here and quite nice. My apartment is newly built. I can feel the newness of everything still. I don't really hit up the downtown area during the night, but I think if I did, I'd have a lot of stuff to do... IE: I'd spend all my money on food and drinks and 노래방 (karaoke).

Gonna talk about school dynamics and my Seoul trip tmrw... hopefully. Or maybe Saturday. We'll see.
