Training Week

People who I have managed to converse with back home usually ask me how I like Seol pretty quickly in the conversation. To be honest though, I really haven't had much free time to roam the city and get into trouble. What I can tell you is that the city is huge, there are many tall cool looking buildings, McDonalds delivers, and it is probably one of the few places in the world where you have a better chance of getting run over on the side walk than on the street.
Training consists of us memorizing numerous methodologies and class structures in a very small amount of time. You get wake up at like 4 am cause you're still jet lagged, lie in bed for a bit, eat and or prepare more for your mock presentations, leave for training, leave training around 3, scarf down some dumplings on the way home, and than work until you fall asleep. The last part is kind of hard cause as I said you are still jet lagged. My room mate is actually asleep right now as I right this using his computer.
While not true for all people in training, most seem to be on edge and stressed. Some of the trainers are not the most friendly people in the world and will be quite blunt with their critics so I've been told. My trainers have been quite encouraging and constructive with their criticism and I have yet to have one of my mock lessons be ripped to shreds (knock on wood). People have failed, which worries me, but if I keep things up I should be fine. Hopefully next time I write it will be from my apartment in Incheon.

P.S. No ninja attacks yet, for all those who were wondering (Ben).
