So Ko girl now!
Just made the big move across the great blue to the beautiful country of South Korea. South Korea has only 1 percent of the land area of the US but has one-sixth as many people. (hence there are apartment buildings everywhere). My first observation was that I couldn't believe how many people there are, everywhere, crammed in the tiniest of places. But I am learning to enjoy these differences! I first arrived and couldn't understand anybody or read any of the signs (for the first time in my life I had to LOOK for the English signs). It was quite a shock, but now I am used to not being able to talk to anybody or read any of the signs. Before leaving the States, a lot of people told me different things to look for or to do, which I will will definitely take into consideration while being here for a year. However, one person told me to notice how many crosses are on top of buildings, and at night time they are lit up red. I was told that South Korea is predominantly Christian, but I do not know if every cross lit up represents a Christian church. But after noticing this, I am very excited that I am constantly reminded of Who I serve! I am excited to experience all the other things that people have told me about! And am excited for this next year!
