made it

so i'm finally checked into my hotel room. i must've lost about 10 lbs in sweat just leaving the airport and by the time i got here i prob lost another 15. the plane ride wasn't too bad, aside from the indian couple in front of me who must've rolled through a tub of cumin and paprika before they got on the plane. with about 4 hours left i realized why i was sneezing so much and i had heartburn. i figured it was cuz of the california burrito i ate before i left, but apparently not. btw, a california burrito right before a 12 hour flight is definitely not a good idea. mental note.

i thought i had seen it all with 2 guys riding shirtless on a moped down the strip in hawaii... but i guess i had no clue of exactly how the other side of the world operates. it's kinda crazy that people just don't care here. 2 guys riding on a motorcycle isn't a big deal. i'm waiting to see some more shocking moments... i'll keep you posted.

anyway, i'm here. i made it. it still seems surreal that i'm not coming back in a week or two. i've been trying to use my broke ass korean here n there, but i'm sure it'll get better with time. i do miss having english speaking people to talk and hang out with... i'm sure i'll meet some folks this upcoming week tho.
