Ulsan

So it's my Hagwons holiday. I have come to Ulsan for a few days to visit Hi-Jin. The train ride was about 6 hours and it was beautiful. Couch surfing with some cool people. The vibe down here is much different. Beach is closer so it seems the foreigners here are a little more chill and laid back hippy types. Also met a few people that aren't teachers but engineers. Interesting to see what kind of work can bring you around the world. One guy had been all over the middle east and other places with his company on projects that last a few months each. He's been in Korea 3 years on consecutive 10 month projects.

Saturday night before I came down here I went to Hongdae with some friends and had another long fun night! Bars that are all foreigners are a little annoying sometimes though. Some really odd and obnoxious people. But I guess that's the type that come here. I was talking about it last night with the foreigners here in Ulsan. That the 3 basic types are those that come for the culture, those that come for the money, and those that come because they don't fit in back home... or any combination thereof. Def can spot the type that don't fit in back home pretty easily. I get asked so much about the culture shock coming here but I'm certain its going to be going home that's gunna be weird to be honest. There are so many people here so squished together and it still seems to all work and flow. Korean's get dogged on a lot for lack of planning or organization but so far everything for me has been fine. Just gotta float with the currents around here and you'll be fine.


A real blog and lots of photos upon my return to Seoul. Just wanted to give a little update on where I am. Going to the beach and a really pretty park today with Hi-Jin so I'm sure I'll be taking a lot of pictures!
