Well I am still preparing for my trip. 21 days and counting! It is coming up so fast. Yesterday I bought a tiny Dell Mini laptop so that I would not have to lug my beasty laptop around South Korea. The smaller computer will allow me to blog, post pictures, and contact my family while I am away.. which is pretty much all I need it to do. I also looked into Skype and I have to say--it is amazing! It's so neat to video chat and for free! I think all students traveling abroad should invest in a webcam and skype their families instead of paying for calling cards. It's cheap and easy.. doesn't get much better than that.

I also have to say big THANKS to Tina Nabors for all of the info she has dished out. She gave me tips about what to really expect and things she wished she would have known before her trip to Ulsan a few years ago. I feel like I have a little insider's guide now and I will definitely be taking her advice on things.

--Until next time!
