So on August 25th I was able to declare that I have been in this country for a full month. I left Omaha, Nebraska in the very early hours of July 23rd and arrived in Korea in the early evening hours of July 25th. I got to my apartment around 1 a.m.
It is more of a symbolic accomplishment than anything. I do believe that it was a very fast month. I'm not really sure if I have experienced a whole lot of real culture shock yet. It was honestly a pretty easy month I think. I missed my home and America quite a bit but still it wasn't that bad.
I really haven't had any huge conflicts with my culture verses Korean culture. I have had a couple cultural conflicts at my school I guess but they haven't been to bad. I suppose I'll just wait and see what happens the next few months. I've heard it may get pretty tough around the 3rd month but that is what people said about the 1st month. I've also heard the 6th month can be tough too. I guess I won't know any of that stuff until I get there.
Ultimately I look forward to what happens in the future...
