Whew, we made it to Korea! I just got in after going going going all day long, and I am so ready for bed, so here are the top five surprises/thoughts for the day:
1. The drivers here are INSANE! Never before have I seen such madness. It puts New York and Memphis to shame.
2. They have really complicated toilets here...like really complicated - heated seats, air that blows, a complementary noisemaker so you don't have to hear yourself or anyone else using the bathroom, etc. It took me a minute today to figure out which button to push to get it to flush!
3. We're staying at a nice youth hostel, but surprisingly, our showers are essentially what eighth grade guys in a locker room have (yes, even the girls' showers!). Thought it would be weird, but we all agreed to laugh about it and go with the flow. We were all so glad to get five minute showers this morning before starting our tour. We had gone about 29 hours without showers...ugh.
4. The buildings here are RIDICULOUSLY tall. Pictures will prove this point later.
5. South Koreans are extremely hospitable. We met several MSU alumni tonight for dinner, and they showed us how to eat and mix our food, as well as making sure we all enjoyed the drinks (it's considered rude if you don't drink with them). After dinner, they proceeded to take us out for more drinks and karaoke! I stayed for a little bit, but left early because I'm dying to get to bed.
Pictures will be coming...the Internet is too slow tonight.

(it's what you say when you go for a toast :) )
well... not all the toilets are that nice... you'll find quite a few that aren't but 2 inches off the ground.
artificial noisemakers? this country needs to learn from these guys!
