A foreign land

I wo
I'm here, in Suwon, South Korea. It's a bigger city than i thought it would be, the way it's set up is a lot like New York city. There's tons of little shops, mostly restaurants and 7-11 style things. I just bought a few essentials at a place called 'Buy the Way' printed clearly in English. I did the intelligent thing and planned ahead, writing down the things I would need in English and Korean as found in my phrasebook. This helped me find bread, which appeared to be popularly sold without crust, as it seemed at the store. I didn't see any loaves of bread so I got some little breakfast bread things to make some ham sandwiches. Once I figure out where the real grocery store is I'll get some more substantial food.

Not sure what I'm up to for the rest of this weekend, probably just getting things organized in the apartment and walking around town a bit. I'll need to make some maps, since I can't seem to find any.
