The last 8:30 AM meetup. I’m a little sad. We met up in the lobby as usually and boarded a bus that took us to Hanok village. Since we had to squeeze it in, we technically arrived before visiting hours. So unfortunately, there wasn’t all too much to do but I did get some good…

Day 9 – Probiotics and Progressions
Another day, another 8:30 AM meetup. I think 8:30 is actually the sweet spot of meetup times. Enough time to grab breakfast and shower but it’s not late enough to encourage me to sleep in. Also, I try to the spicy pork this morning, I love it! So we met up in the morning, dressed…
Day 8 – Driving Forward and Lifting Up
Today was a very packed day. We met up earlier, at 8:30 AM, and basically hit the ground running. I skipped breakfast, which was good because we went straight to eat lunch. The place was pretty far and also the time between our company visits was tight so we ate at 11. The beef was…
Day 7 – Hike Up!
Today was an earlier start, we met at 8 AM. However, with the hours of sleep I was able to catch yesterday, it didn’t feel like anything at all. Dr. Yun suggested I try the braised chicken today and wow! I want to eat that every morning now! We met up and took the bus…
Day 6 – Discovering the DMZ
Today was a very early start. Problematically early. Having just gone to Hongdae the night before, my body was not at all prepared to meet at 6:10 AM today. I did buy myself an egg sandwich last night so I still had something to eat. The problem was that I was exhausted. Luckily, we took…
Day 5 – Yonsei (Not Yoncé)
Today was a much later start, 9:15 AM. I took the liberty to sleep in just a bit which ended in me rushing my breakfast. I know, poor decision making. When I did catch up with the group, we used the subway again to travel to the one and only Yonsei University. It’s one of…
Day 4 – Kickin’ It In the City
Today was a bit of a later start, 8:45 AM. I decided to finally try the glass noodles at breakfast today and that was undeniably the best decision I’ve ever made. I am obsessed. After breakfast, we met up and took the subway for the first time. I couldn’t really understand what was going on…
Day 3 – From Suits and Ties to Fish and Fries
Today was an even earlier start–we met up at 7:15 AM. Luckily, I bought an egg and ham sandwich from Twosome Cafe last night and was able to eat on the bus. The dress code was formal initially, but Chris let us know that we would likely want to bring a change of formal clothing….
Day 2
We started off today with very quick breakfasts. It was an early day where we met up at 7:45 AM because the commute to Camp Humphreys was meant to take two hours. I’m not exactly sure what magic occurred because we managed to get there in less than an hour! Still, we had a wonderful…
Day 1
We landed in Korea yesterday. After an entire day of traveling, we were welcomed by a quick tour then allowed to group off and explore the stores near the hotel. My group and I found a Korean barbeque and ate a lot of sweet corn and chicken. Today, we started by trying the hotel food….
