A map of Yeungnam College of Science & Technology.

Starrlite wrote on a sticky in Korean "Please take me to Yeungnam College" and "Please take me to Taewang Leaders apartments."  Whichever direction I'm heading determines which side of the sticky I show the taxi driver.  Each time I take a taxi, they end up going a different way and I think they are taking me to the Seoul or something and I won't be able to tell them to stop.

Today was my second day working at the college.  My main focus right now is designing marketing materials that we'll use to get students to take the course.

For dinner Starrlite and I ate at a fast food place right outside of the college.  They don't have large drinks and the burgers are super small.  I had a weird tiny thin burger with a Korean twist for flavoring.  It was actually very good, just very small.  It was about the thickness of a floppy disk.

What I learned today about Korea:  1)  It's illegal to throw food away unless you pay a monthly fee for pickup.  2)  They don't use voice mail or answering machines here.  Pretty much everyone has a cell phone.  3)  Almost everyone smokes.
