We have arrived....


Welcome to South Korea and welcome to Ewha Womans University. All students have arrived from various locations throughout the US. (Rick from Texas, Becca from Brooklyn, Diane from Idaho, Sarah from Illinois, John from Ohio, and Kerry, Eve, Kelly and myself (Rebecca) from Milwaukee).

We are staying at the world's largest university for women, Ewha Womans University, located in Seoul (Shinchon). We are staying in great accomodations in the International House Hanwoori Hall located at the very top of steep hill overlooking the city. The veiw is amazing!

The Korean experience has been nothing but pleasant. I have been genuinely amazed at the friendly, helpful and welcoming nature of all people associated with the University and the Korean people in general. Our first night in Korea was an unforgettable adventure that included a traditional Korean meal of Bulgogi -marinated and grilled barbecued beef and a walk thru the narrow streets and the maze of neon lights, shops, cafes, and bars near the University. Our evening ended with a brief stop at the subway station to retrieve our transit pass to explore the city to our hearts content. Not only have we arrived, but we are now on our way...
