-I stayed over at Yohan's house for a homestay. I met his parents and his adorable younger sister (she's six). It was good times. Yohan is originally from outside of Seoul in the countryside. It was about a three hour trip to get there, but it was an adventure once we did. Jake and I dipped our hands into the mud of the Korean West Sea, ate a grub (like... a small worm) that evidently is considered to be "very delicious" (it's not), and sat through nearly 8 hours of church. Yohan's a nice guy, he gets frustrated really easily because of his English, but he's the only one that tries to make actual jokes, so that's something.
-We went to the South Korea vs. North Korea national soccer game. Suffice to say, it was a blast. It ended in a tie, but I still had a great time.
-We spent most of our day shopping.
-Two nights ago we went to a traditional Korean music performance. It was actually pretty entertaining.
-One night ago, we went to a show called "Nanta", a fushion between a comedy and a STOMP-esque performance. It genuinely laughed throughout the entire thing. It was great.
-I'm not too homesick anymore.
-I am, however, finding it difficult to adjust to the transition back to traveling with a group. Everything goes slower: traveling, making simple choices (where do we eat?), and even getting a metro ticket. I got pretty frustrated today with everyone; ironically I meditated this morning on the peace of God and how I can bring that to fruition. I guess I have a lot of work to do...
-That's all. Everything else is going well. Bye for now!
