Traveling the Area

07.18.10

I woke up later than usual (7:20am), happily. Ate some fruit for breakfast, then took a shower in my petite bathroom. Because of the humidity my hair remained wavy through the whole day :/

I checked my webcomics and emails. Then I checked the NWS for the updates on the storm brewing at home. I texted my parents and talked to Phill over Skype. I made plans with Michael for an early dinner and went on with my day. I did some Korean speaking programs both Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur until my brain hurt. Then I checked the weather at NWS and found there were several tornado sightings at home. I promptly began texting my parents and Phill with the latest updates on the storm as both of their homes were without power. I was the 'remote meteorologist'. After the storms passed I said good bye to them and watched a bit of Korean TV until dinner. Michael took me to Songtan via the train, I bought my first transportation card with 10,000 Won loaded (Cost overall 14,000 Won).


We had some Mexican food on the “American Street” They even had a GameStop (there’s only 2 in the whole country) and a few other ‘American’ stores. The GameStop had a pretty decent selection of games, including many R4 cards.


After Songtan, we went to Osan and I went to the Lotte Mart for a few apartment supplies (Cost overall 10,790 Won). Then we went to a coffee shop next to the Osan Hospital. I had a yummy strawberry-mango smoothie (Cost overall for both drinks 8,000 Won).

We walked home from Osan (good exercise!). I’m glad his is willing to show me around to places I wouldn’t have known that they existed. I’m slowly understanding the transportation system and how to get around outside of my bubble. At some point soon I will have to travel alone and explore new places.
