Kicking butt & taking names.

I feel rather repetitive with some of my blogs seeing as the general concluding theme is South Korea is amazing, everything I've experienced is incredible and I'm exhausted. Which is basically how I'm feeling today. Just thought I'd post a brief update seeing as I might not have access to internet for the next 2 days because we're about to head on an excursion out of Seoul and into a more remote mountain village.

Today was filled with more interesting lectures on US/Korea relations, plus some cool time bonding with Yonsei University students. Here were two of my groups' Korean volunteers posing with us below at the college:

Also this evening, after a full day of classes, I had the best time of my life at a Taekwondo class taught by a local Korean Grand Master. All 75 of us were packed into one huge gymnasium and were taught the basics of this martial art. I actually studied Taekwondo for 2 or so years around the age of 13 and got up to green belt status, so I had more experience than almost everyone there. This experience actually came in really handy and funny enough, even won me a cute souvenir gold medal that the Grand Master gave to the top 5 students he observed. I won it at a front jump kick competition and then even got interviewed afterwards for the CIEE video, it was pretty bomb.

Unfortunately there aren't too many pictures of today because we were running around so much, there was so little time. Our evening consisted of some yummy street food, Korean raspberry wine and another relaxed evening in. I'm just finishing packing up my bags for tomorrow and then I'm off to Yongin! I'll be back with a massive load of stories and pictures for you guys in a few days! An-nyeong-hi-ga-se-yo!
