Mo' stuff

Guess what I'm eating right now? Octopus. It's actually pretty good....especially in soy sauce. The food options here are actually pretty broad, though, so there's plenty to choose from. Curiosity just got the best of me!

The gym here is great....minus the facilities. The great part is that I've met so may people here...the American/Korean couple I wrote about (I think?) that I've been out with several times, the owner of the place and his assistant (both my age), and a few Koreans. We're all having a get-together over here tomorrow so that should be fun! They've all been really friendly so far and it's interesting how the Korean culture is SO much about sharing and returning favors. I said I was going to have people over, so within the next time minutes, half of them came back to invite me to their house later on and I'm sure the others that didn't were thinking about it. Also, when we go out to eat, they always offer to pay for the meal, but what ends up happening is that one person pays the whole bill, and then the next person at the next place until everyone has paid for a meal, then it starts over.....and the food is always shared. People don't even have their own plates half the time....you have a ton of food in the center that everyone grabs with their chopsticks while they talk and eat. It's a very respectful, social culture.

In another note of just as much if not more interest, I haven't taken that trip to the elevator yet to zap the mosquitoes, but I think I will soon....
