I realized I should mention where exactly it is that I am going.  I found out I was stationed in Suwon, one of the 10 largest cities in South Korea and located 1 hour south of THE largest city. It has almost 1 million people, 3 universities, many-many factories and thousands of years of history, including a 2.5 mile long wall called 'Hwaseong Fortress'. It's nearest attractions include: a national art and cultural museum, Samsung Electronics factory, a World Soccer Cup Stadium, a historic Korean Folk Village, and lastly (my personal favorite because of it's name and purpose) an adventure theme park named Everland. Yes, Everland, not to be confused with Neverland undoubtedly a creepier and much more 'seductive' counterpart. (I hope you know I'm kidding when I say 'personal favorite'- as sarcasm cannot be detected over the internet...nor television evidently as CNN, MSNBC and every other news broadcasting network has attacked Obama for loose sarcasm on Leno. Leno! My God, who hasn't lost face on Leno? Honestly, America is just silly.) So, Everland. It sounds great but has a 150$ admission fee plus the cost of everything else, i.e. it's for rich people, not me. I'll run circles around it and that will be entertaining enough. Cheaper too!  Other near cities (attractions in themselves) are Osan-directly south by a half hour and, according to my sweet and thoughtful uncle, is crawling with American military men. Thank you for that very, very interesting bit of information! ;)  Ansan, Gunpo, Yongin and Pyeongtaek are also in the vicinity. What they have to see? I don't know, but I do know that I like to say their names, especially that last one. Pyeongtaek. Say 'pyeong' over and over again and you'll see what I mean. Seoul is pretty much the major attraction holder in my vicinity- which would be the same fact anywhere on the peninsula of Korea- but I'm just lucky enough to have it a hop, skip and a jump to the north of me. My greatest friend, Amy, will hopefully be meeting me there often to enjoy the sites as well as share stories. 

Well, I admit it, I'm hungry- so for now, this is all I have for you. I realize I'm blogging quite a bit now. My excuse: I don't have a cell phone or a friend, this is my outlet- bear with me! Until the sun rises again,
