There is a lot about Korean culture I have never talked about. Tonight, as my last night in Seoul I am going to have Russian food and Russian beer with an intern from Russian and two of his Korean friends. I've never had Russian food, so it should be interesting; especially Korean style Russian food. Coming to Korea has been one of the best things I have ever done. I have learned so much and have so many new perspectives on things after meeting people from all over the world. Perhaps that is why I do not want to leave. I am not sure how much of it is big city life and how much of it is Korean culture, but I would have to live in an American city with about 11 million people to find out.

Yesterday, when Christina, Adam and I were shopping, Christina took me to have my fortune read. It is very popular here and generally costs anywhere from 5,000 - 12,000 Won. The woman told me I am tree/flower/vine in winter. I have a lot of water, which makes me mature, introspective, interested in money, and an initiator. Because I am so cold, I need fire to help find balance. I should not marry until I am older because I will still be changing a lot until I am in perfect balance at age 37. They tell you most of this by your birth date (Korean time) and part of it by looking at you. It was interesting, to say the least.

I am shopping and packing today until dinner. I always bring way more than I use overseas - I really need to work on that. Here's to hoping everything goes well tomorrow.
