Life here is interesting. I’m not sure if it’s still novelty or that I just really am suited to city life. It doesn’t bother me that Seoul is so busy, that traffic laws seem not existent, that the city changes smell every 20m and so on. I think I like the city because everything is so convenient. I mean everything is open pretty much all day and well into the night. I can go out and get whatever in the evening after studying and not worry about everything being closed by 5pm. Public transport is another joy. It’s simple to use and the small card can be used for subway and bus routes. Taxi’s are around all night long so there’s no need to worry about going to another area in Seoul and not being able to get back until the subways start running. Taxis are so cheap here that between four of you it’s pennies.
I think maybe the only thing that bothers me a little is that I haven’t had any time to just chill. I’m always busy. I have class 9am until 1pm usually but that can go over. After we found a place to eat and talked for a little while, it’s 2:30pm. Then there’s 3 hours of self study, an hour or two of design time (no ftp is a bitch right now for my web stuff); oh no kitchen in dorms so evening meal means a trek into the restaurant/bar district so that’s at least 1.5 hours gone; then there’s all the little things that pop up; of course checking out the culture and history of Korea; so I’m very tired by the end of the day but look forward to the next. I think I’ll wait another month and see if my enjoyment of this life style is just novelty or that it is really how I want to live. If the later then I think I should get a job teaching English in the afternoons and continue my studies out here for another couple semesters. Ah I just realised I kinda said all this already in a previous post but this post is a little more filled out so I’ll go with it.

I added more pictures recently (yay for a CMS). Check them out. Oh I should explain that they aren’t all my pictures. A few of us just empty our cameras into my iPhoto. Then someone makes a set and picks a weird title and whacks them online via my web interface. Strangely a few of us have the same camera too hence similar colour/detail characteristics etc in the pictures. It’s cool though we are getting so many pictures.
