Starbucks...

So... here with every meal they eat kimchi. I am horrible with chopsticks but I am slowly learning that they are one of the few utensils they use to eat with here.
Drinking is huge here. Training is going well. We begin looking more in depth at the materials on Monday.
Oh, did I mention that its a 13 hour time difference. Jet lag is no fun. Every day they make us check our temperatures twice a day to make sure we have no fever. Apparently, recently within the past month or so a teacher from NY came and had H1N1. So now when we are in training we have to wear these really obnoxious masks over our faces. We all look like nurses or construction workers with the masks over our faces to cover our noses and mouths.
To take extra precautions we all got split up into different hotels as well. It turns out in the past they all stayed in one hotel.
Yesterday,Friday was a chill day of adventuring around our hotels. We
Over there they literally have at least 2 coffee shops per block. The most common food here is of course Korean but they also enjoy Chinese style restaurants. Earlier today on Saturday we began training and then went to Gangnam, one subway stop over from where we were staying in Seoul. The subway here works like the Metro system back in D.C., you can buy a card called a T-Money pass and put money on it and swipe it as you enter the stop. Then you get on the subway... its almost exactly like the metro.

Soon it will be Sunday so I think I am going to bed soon and then hanging around the hotel perhaps to review a few materials.

I am having a blast but miss my MD friends and family dearly.
Keep comiing back to read more as more is to come. eventually I will post pictures here. Oh and my watch died today so I have to get a new one. I love shopping here already, I found shoes that fit!!!!
