Friends



Here are some of the friends that I met while in Seoul...they are pretty cool. The first few are from South Africa. The group pic is of all of the members of my orientation group. The couple in the centre are Mbali and Pmblani, and at the end is Tshenolo. In the pic with three of us is Myself, Mbali and Sinnette


Others stayed in the funeral home. It was really weird at first to be visitng friends in a funeral home. Surprising enough it was really nice in there. They had a 40inch plasma tv, beds and the rooms were beautiful. At the publishing house we had to sleep on yohs (the floor) a yoh is just a thick blanket placed on the floor.
Orientation




A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I was going to Seoul for orientation. I finally got around to posting the pics....sorry it took so long. The first couple were of interesting things I saw in the city, for example the gas station was called an oil bank, there was a shanty town close to the subway station, and the wedding hall at night was really beautiful

Tiger World


This is a pretty famous Sports complex. I was pretty impressed seeing the outside. It is pretty expensive to enter, but hopefully I get the chance to go before I leave here. You can see the slope on the top of the building, that is a down hill indoor ski slope, there is also a swimming pool, a horse racing track and a golf course in that building. It is pretty cool, each of the rooms are obviously heat and cold controlled depending on the sport. Ingenious is the word that comes to my, like my roomate says they are spatial geniuses. They don't let space go to waste since there is so little of it here.
