Off to Neverneverland.

So today Ha Ryeon (the physics teacher's daughter) took me around Yeongdeok a little. She asked me what I wanted to do and I said I wanted to buy a wallet so she decided we couldn't do that in Yeongdeok and asked me if I wanted to go to Pohang. So we did. Next thing I know we're buying tickets at the bus station and I was on the way to Pohang on the first public transportation I've ever ridden. When we got there we go off and walked over to the other side of the street to wait for a taxi, that's right, a taxi ride and a bus ride all in one day! So then we took taxi to downtown Pohang and walked around. I bought a cute wallet with a change pocket, the reason I needed a different wallet and some nail polish. We had KFC for lunch :] and then Baskin Robbins with her friend that wanted to meet me. :] If the shops in Yeongdeok are open tomorrow I'm going to buy a purse hopefully. After I walk to the school to find out how long it takes so I won't be late Monday morning, I'm going to explore the city and hopefully not get too lost.

After Ha Ryeon (oh, her English name is Anna but I like to use the Korean names) and I came home, we had dinner, her mom made chicken :D and some kind of rice and ginseng root soup. It had a texture similar to oatmeal that hasn't cooked quite long enough but the flavor was good. It was bland until I added salt, oh yes, this family has salt, :D and pieces of chicken. Then it was better. Unfortunately, Koreans don't drink a lot of water with their meals and I do, even for an American, and this family doesn't drink anything with their meals so that's hard and will definitely change once I get my own place but it's kind of nice not to have to worry about food and grocery shopping and stuff like that right now. I'll be able to focus on that next week when I'm doing my planning and stuff and trying to figure out all my school stuff. Okay, well maybe it would have been nice to be able to do it on the weekend and then focus just on school once I'm there. Course with 8 hours and no classes it's not like I won't have the time.

So tomorrow the parents are going to take Ha Ryeon back to Daegu and I told them I was going to stay here so I can take a shower after they leave tomorrow and not have to worry about it being wierd. And then I can go exploring :] with my cute new wallet. :]
Hope everything is well at home. Miss you all and wish you could see everything I'm seeing. Soon though.
