I had McDonalds for dinner lastnight. We were going to go to this local restaurant but it was already closed by the time we got there. I ordered a bigmac meal. The interesting part is that the beef is peppered. Like if you look at the beef, you can see the pepper flakes and it had no flavor at all. Oh well. The interesting part is that the cashiers knew English and in the US you rarely find a cashier that knows something other than English.
The Koreans that I have met so far have been amazingly nice and willing to help with anything. I was offered the use of a cellphone to call Mel and several people asked if I needed help getting somewhere. I've not felt like I was stared at but Mel says it happens a lot because there aren't an awful lot of foreigners in her town. I'll keep you posted on how that goes.
I only got 4 hours of sleep.. my body apparently thinks its wakeup time at 4:30am. ugh. Maybe tonight I'll get better sleep. Mel is still snoozing but has to get up in about an hour to get ready for work. I'm going with her today, so that should be interesting. Then we are going to get some Korean dinner and then maybe take a walk around the area. The weekend will be full of museums and other things.
