First thing is first, I have VERY QUICKLY come to find out that my "American Arrogance" is weighing on everyone... I have heard multiple people tell me from all countries, including an American, that I am too confident, to the point that I am arrogant.
Whether that is true or not, that is part of the reason I went to study abroad, so I can learn how to interact with people of all races, nationalities, sexes, sexual preferences, colors, shapes, sizes, languages, and mentalities. Simply put, I apologize to anyone and everyone I may have offended. My intentions were not to offend, they were simply to interact and learn.
On to another subject, We went to the Han River the other day. It's wonderful and incredible. But it's also scary at the same time. According to some people, there are explosives on every single bridge that crosses the Han River, that way if North Korea was to invade, they could immediately divide the only way for them to cross quickly. How much truth there is to that statement is another story for another day, but nonetheless it is still amazing seeing such a vast river with so much history become such a centerpiece for the country.
Finally, I like to say real quickly for my Hautian friends, I got the hell out of Terre Haute fully expecting to get away from trains... I can't believe I got railroaded the other day on a bus. It was a subway train, so it only lasted like 90 seconds, but I can't seem to get away from trains no matter where I go. What a drag.
