Seoul 

I'm uploading a bunch of pictures from the few times i've been to Seoul and i'll post those when I can. In other news, I tried some Nakji (pronounced like knock-gee) which is a live octopus dish. Its a delacacy over here. We actually picked three octopi out at a seafood market and within five minutes it was in front of me still squirming on a plate.

Camp Preparation

These kids are super hyper. Camp prep has been all this week. I got to sit in on a few more classes and help teach again. They all started calling me "Mr Korea" because Corey sounds like the Korean name for the country. From this the team has dubbed me "Ko Deh Han" as my offical Korean name. More to Follow.

South Korea: Jeju Island

Back from a 3 day trip from Jeju Island. Which is the "Hawaii" of south korea. Very green and blue. Along the way we visited the "most beautiful garden in the world" and several museums. Stayed at a nice resort too. 

I'm very tall here or at least feel very tall. Started helping the english teachers today and all the little kids thought I was a giant. Korean people are very shy when it comes to using English too. They're afraid of not speaking it right and being embarassed so sometimes people will literally avoid me. 

Pics can be found here.

And i've uploaded a fun little video of me in a korean grocery store.

Blue & Green

I'm currently working on my brothers photography website and completely slacking on studying for analog circuit design test tomorrow morning at 8am. I'm sure i'll regret my lack of focus.
