DIMINISHED THOUGHT

I'm safe and sound in Seoul (How's that for alliteration?). The flight over here was brutal and I didn't sleep alot. Right now it's one o'clock in the morning and I'm getting to go to bed. Let me just say that Koreans are super polite/nice people. It's like the twilight zone coming from the midwest where I've been hanging out for the past couple of years. I met an exchange student on the plane and a nice Korean lady that immigrated to Canada but after 20 years still couldn't really speak English (she was in Vancouver...no excuse). She helped me know which bus stop to get off at. Then a young woman stopped in the middle of the night to ask me if I was lost. It's just wild.

So I paid about 17 USD for my hostel bed but I have the entire room to myself. It's sparse and showing wear but it's clean. They even had these crazy little plastic clogs for the shower. To top it off I turned on the TV and watched what channel came on. Anyone that's seen MTV in states will not find it hard to believe that the Korean version seems to be better. It's not the high quality of the latter but rather the baseness of the former. It probably helps that I can't understand what they're saying. I imagine I would think more highly of American MTV then. That's all I've got. I'm heading to bed.
