That's it and that's all, man

The trip is over. It was amazing. You should ask me about it sometime. It's crazy how in a month, you can get so accustomed to driving (and walking) on the left, to differences in etiquette (hand shaking, giving money, pointing), to seeing certain ethnic groups and hearing their languages. Good times.

During my first layover, I took some trains to a palace in Seoul. I totally recommend the visit. It cost about 3 dollars to get in, and then there was a free English tour. If you can navigate the trains, then you can do it. Why are trains so different everywhere?

During my second layover, I slept in the floor of JFK airport in NYC. It wasn't as exciting.

Small update and new album.

okey-lah

The time is winding down on the trip, so we've been hitting some tourist spots and such. We took another long bus ride yesterday to get to the historic town that all the locals have been recommending to us. It was a good trip, lots of old buildings and museums, which are much less expensive than museums in the US. I think we paid the equivalent of $1.53 total to get into three different places. Of course, you have to take off your shoes in some of them here.

After our return, we ate at Hard Rock with most of our friends in this city. It was like easing back into a crowd of Americans, or at least white people, which is a strange feeling.

Speaking of Americans, I was standing in the market the other day, and I thought I recognized a girl I went to Auburn with. So I went up and talked to her, and it was a little War Eagle moment.
