I tried the coffee at Dunkin Donuts this morning since it was directly across the street from my hotel, I don’t know if it’s Dunkin Donuts, or if it’s just Korean Dunkin Donuts but the coffee was terrible. I had to walk around and finally found a Starbucks (which had a picture of Seattle in it) and sure enough, that coffee tasted just like home. All of their pastries in there are wrapped individually in a sealed bag. Doesn’t look appetizing that way.

The dorm rooms are nothing to brag about… at all. But I guess it will do. It’s pretty small.

I have a roommate and he is from Holland. He’s 24 and I’m 25 so that is good.

We spent most of the day together trying to figure a few things out. We couldn’t get internet at first, we were  told to buy a network cable so we went to go buy a network cable. Before that we stopped at ???? which is Woori Bank. The teller didn’t speak a single bit of english, but after about 30 minutes of strange confusion we finally realized we needed some form of a immigration residence card or something like that in order to open an account.

We then went to buy our network cable and some cleaning wipes since the dorm room shelves were pretty dusty.

Then we went to eat at Pizza Hut. We were both curious to see how different it would be from the U.S. and Holland. It was very different. There is no pepperoni pizza, cheese pizza, canadian bacon and pineapple or any of that. The closest thing they had that I recognized as pizza was BBQ chicken. It was good, but Pizza Hut good which isn’t really that good. They did have seafood pizza… no thank you.

I’ve found it very beneficial that I can read Korean. I cannot translate everything but I know common things, and many things are english written out in Korean so you just have to sound it out. I’m starting to remember more words too.

Tomorrow is more class registration and orientation. I should know what my full class schedule will be tomorrow.
