Seoul and EPIK orientation

Korea! Finally!

I arrived in Seoul a day before my orientation began. Seoul is massive, the largest city I have ever been in! (around 24 million people, 2nd largest on earth next to Tokyo's 32 mil) Day 2 I hiked down the street with all of my luggage to the National Institute for International Education building where I would stay for most of the next week. Check into my room eat lunch, meet a few guys...the rest is the kind of thing that legends are made from. I quickly bonded with about 8 other guys and we decided to go to a place named “Beer Castle” that night. We talked over a few pitchers of beer and bottles of soju and had a great time, then we did it for the next 5 nights.

We also took over a bar "Cool Cats" for a few nights...see below.
 Some of the guys.
Orientation was pretty cool, we got to watch quite a few interesting lectures and met some great folks that would also be working in Korea. So we studied, partied, saw some historical sights, and watched LANTA, look that up!
 Odd bar signage.
 Our favorite, taste like Kix and Fruit Loops. Plus beer and Soju. SFP!
 Culture!
 Beautiful/Awesome
