We are learning so much from our Korean lecturers and EPIK leaders. Everyone has been very friendly and helpful!

Somethings we have noticed about Korea and some personal opinions . . .

1. There are no shower curtains nor ledges to keep water contained. The floor, walls, sink, toilet, etc. get soaked.

2. Korean dumplings are awesome!

3. Lunch and dinner type meals are served with breakfast (salad, rice, Kimchi, pickles).

4. Instead of using marinara sauce, they use ketchup or something very similar to ketchup on spaghetti and pizza.

5. There are apartment buildings everywhere. We have seen very few houses and no yards.

6. Squatters . . . :(

7. Koreans use a heating system called Ondul (hot water flowing through pipes in the floor). I (Anna) love it! My feet are always warm :)

8. Nearly every third building is a PC Club.

9. Most everything is less expensive than in the U.S. except coffee

10. Education is a high priority for everyone in Korea. Educators are very appreciated :)
