I'm back! Super jetlagged, I slept until 2pm today when I meant to wake up at 10am. Oh well, my sisters are at work and school, so I would have been bored anyway.

Here are some pictures :) Hopefully they work, let me know if they don't.

There are more pictures, but I'm waiting on relatives/friends to send them :)

For the first week of my study abroad program, I was in the northeast part of Korea in Seoul.  Seoul has an awesome subway and bus system and I was able to get around on my own, which was an amazing experience. Much shopping and sightseeing was done with my classmates.
The second week of the study abroad program was spent in Daejon, which is sort of right in the middle of Korea. It's known for its science and technology facilities and this week was spent more on studying, listening the lectures, doing a workshop. During this time I met with a few old friends who live in a nearby city.
After the program was over I went to the very southeast side of Korea to a wonderful coastal city, Busan, to visit my father's friend's family. Their son and I are friends, so it was really fun. It was also cool to see my dad's old university and places that he and his friend went together when they were younger.
After a few days I went back to Seoul and a nearby city Incheon, to visit another family friend and my mom's side of the family. Then I went to the airport to finally fly back home.

I used to be a bit of a homebody, but I've definitely been bit by the travel bug. Western Europe and Japan are totally next on my list!
