nobody in korea wears sunglasses.
seriously.
i still can't get ym internet to work, so i'm once again in the computer lab... only this time it's nice and quiet in here... today marked the beginning of the korea university vs. seoul university games. it's a huge event here and goes on throughout the weekend. everyone on campus (and i'm talking about 90% here) is wearing blue shirts to represent yonsei. and since asians "all look the same" anyway, it's extra difficult to tell us all apart.
we decided not to attend the games today and run around sinchon instead. it's a little wierd because the campus is so dead, but it's also kind of nice to be in such a calm atmosphere for once. tomorrow, we'll be going to the korea vs yonsei soccer game, so hopefully i'll be able to take some interesting pictures.
i met my roommate yesterday when i moved into the dorms. she's also 22, which is nice. from what i understand, she grew up in korea, and then went to college for a couple of years in florida, and now decided to come back for a semester to take some classes. i think i can safetly say that we're going to get along much better than my rooommate from freshman year at madison... she was kind of an odd duck.
everyone in the international dorms seems to be at least 22 or older... some of the residents look like they're close to hitting 30, but maybe i still have on the jet-lag goggles.
the other day my cousins took me down by the han river. i think the plan was to rent some bikes and take a little trip around some of the paths, but before we could even begin, it began to rain. i thought it was actually pretty pleasant, as it was only a light sprinkle, but my cousins had these horrified looks on their faces and scattered to take cover under a bridge tunnel. i didn't really understand what the big deal was until they started yelling, "ACID RAIN! ACID RAIN!" at me. that freaked me out. i don't know what the deal is with acid rain... is it really that bad for you? there were some old guys fishing down by the river and they didn't seem to care, but my cousins seemed genuinely concerned. plus, they told me that they won't be seen in public with me if i wear my rain slicker (!!!). i guess only wierdos wear rain coats in korea, which is a little disappointing since i love my little rain coat so much.
