That's great that you're going to South Korea...where were you thinking of going? I'm in Cheonan...south of Seoul. Things here are very different to how I expected them to be which isn't a bad thing. If you do come out in July you'll be hitting the monsoon season. The one thing i regret not packing is shorts and skirts...it's very hot and very very humid. When you do get here be prepared to be stared at, waved at, asked for your name and where you come from, and talked about. I've only been here five days and it feels great...but a colleague of mine has been here for 6 months and she finds it annoying now. The one thing I have noticed is that if you are in trouble, or lost...Koreans are eager to help you out. Let me know how it goes!
