So much culture shock...

There is plenty to tell you about...

...and it is only the third day.  Despite my best efforts the jet lag (9pm mountain time Noon here) is catching up with me but more is to come.

Just one anecdote for now.  The generic word for "fish"  is 물고기 (mool-go-gi)  witch means litteraly "water-meat"  That makes me laugh everytime.  I still was not sure that my wife was not pulling my leg untill we saw some fish in the water under a bridge.  A high school girl (you could tell by the uniform )called out to them:  "mool-go-gi! mool-go-gi-a!"

I can relate, everytime I see a pidgion in Denver walking around I call to it "Pidgoen Pidgeon!"
