First Few Days!

I've been in Korea for three days now and have just gotten the chance to write! The first day, we all got into Japan around 9 and we got into Korea at 10:30 and stayed in a hostel for the night. The few hours I had in Japan were really cool too! We spoke to a few people in Japanese, went shopping, and went to an oxygen bar! The hostel in Korea was really nice too. 10 bunk beds in a room and a bathroom for that room. The girls still all fought over the mirrors though! We stayed up late every night talking and bonding, and i'm really starting to like everyone. There are 52 of us now when we all thought there would be 40. Anyway, the next day we all got up, had some bread for breakfast, and had an orientation. We met our supporters and I have a really nice one! We got to explore the city with her (Arram) and Young-min. Our "mission" was to go to a lake across from Lotte World and take an excercising picture! It was hard because my supporter doesn't speak English well. Luckily I had Gwen and Tai to help translate! I learned that I hold chopsticks wrong and they spent an hour in a famous noodle shop trying to show me...it didn't work. haha. So the next day we had a huge orientation for 5 hours and it was extremely tiring. On a break we got ice cream, saw the palace, and I had a random Korean woman ask to shower in my dorm. It was weird! haha. That night we went to noraebang which is like Karaoke and the man kept refilling our minutes for free because he liked our singing! We shopped a little, got lost, and had a short experience seeing SHINee! It was a good night! This morning my host family picked me up and we spent the day together. We went to their grandparents, and went grocery shopping at Times Square. They are such sweet people and I feel so at home..Now I just have to master Korean so I can speak to them!
