1. Koreans in Mokpo are not as formal as I thought they would be.
i.e. no handing money with two hands
2. Not as humble as i thought either.
3. They are skinny not because of what they eat but because they walk and exercise a lot!
Well at least the older generations I have not seen younger people do so.
There are walking and biking paths everywhere with exercise equipment on the side.
4. They are very into the outdoors. They have little parks on that go up mountains. They have tons of expensive out door shops.
Since my last post I have been hiking up Yudal Mt. You get a great view of all of Mokpo. I have been hiking around 4 hours a day all over the city. Lindsey and I are going to go hike Yudal later today. I have not really had that much Korean food. First thing I had by mistake, I tried to point a sushi but the lady thought I was pointing at the words on the sign. So I got this big bowl of rice with different vegetables and hot red paste and an egg over easy on top. It was not bad too much of the red paste. I had a fried pork cutlet with a brown sweet sauce that was really good. I still have not had any fried street food from the carts. There is a shopping district with lots of shops including Jeep (clothing), The North Face, and many others. It has a street that has archways of light over them, looks pretty cool at night. I am looking into getting a cheap bicycle so I can get to a bigger National Park that is around 20 miles away from Mokpo.
It will be at least a week and a half before internet in our apt so pictures will be a while. Sorry
