Where is the cereal?

Yesterday was a day of little structure. We basically had times for breakfast lunch and dinner. The rest of the time we could explore to our hearts desire. Sounds awesome right??? well not when its 95 with 60% humidity. But still a small group of us went hunting for a charger for my camera. That is a adventure when you don't speak their native tongue. After about 7 stores and an hour and a half of walking we decided to make the trek home. Plans were to stop by a dominoes pizza that we passed earlier. Upon arrival we looked at a menu and the pizzas where around 30000 won. which is the same as 30 dollars for a pizza. We quickly shot that idea down. So while walking back we get somewhat lost and just decide to sit in the shade. After a couple minutes this Korean student walks by and says hey. so we say hey and I decided to ask him about the charger. While long story short he helped us for about 20 minutes. When we asked him if he was busy he said yes, but you are foreigners and i would love to help. He was scared of his English skills but they were great. It was amazing to see such a helpful person in such a foreign place. The funniest part is his name in English is Jackie Chan.  We ended up walking back to the university with him.

The rest of the day failing to find the charger and learning Korean. It was still a lot of fun.

But today was the big day. TALK orientation in Seoul. We had no idea what we were going to do there. It was a 2 hour bus ride and were crammed into a small auditorium. After a short introduction of all the big wigs there the performance began. We hadn't a clue what we were info. But it was amazing. The first was a choir group called the rainbow choir. 12 kids from 11 different countries. Whom had sang in front of some great people like the g20 summit.  Just amazing dancing and singing and outfits. They were adorable. attached is a clip from there performance at the same event this spring.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMJ2Syy7mZc&feature=related

The second show of three was a traditional Korean dance. Which was epic to watch. While they were preforming it made me think of America and how we very little culture behind us. This dance was used to help create a good rice harvest. The closest thing I thought about was a rain dance. Which is so nobody knows how to do one and we just make fun of them. This video clip is just a little of what they were doing. I felt honored to be able to see a performance like it.    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE7C1fLripE

Last was the K tigers it was a taekwondo team. and there skills were incredible. Just keep fast forwarding the middle and end are the best. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYrT__fLM9A

We then did a Scavenger hunt in Seoul. those are just a few. 300 students in ugly green shirts taking over the town. It was just chaos. but awesome the town is amazing. big beautiful with street vendors everywhere.  this was my favorite they made an amazing candy out of a hard piece of honey. It turned into 16000 pieces of string. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDmj_170A-o well that is a long blog hope u could keep with me.
