En Madrid

Soo I got to Madrid today : ) It's gorgeous, although I haven't gotten to see much yet. There is a two day orientation period before I move in with my family, which I am pretty nervous about. Before I write an entry about here though, I realized I never finished writing about Korea.
After a couple days seeing family and friends with my mom in Seoul, we spent a few days in Jeju do, and island off the south coast of Korea. They had amazing clementines, and a lot of strange seafood. We went on a tour which was at time tiring; it would have been nice to have a day to just lounge on the beach.
Jeju do

We spent another couple days in Seoul, shopping and spending time my mom's uncle and his family. Our last meal was at a buddhist vegetarian place, a welcome break from Korean barbeque. Speaking of which, I just saw a Korean restaurant here; it's weird how Seoul now feels so much less foreign than Madrid does. When I came back from Korea, in a way it felt like I never left, like it always does. I had just a few weeks before leaving for Spain, so I just saw as many people as I could and visited Boston one weekend.
Now I am in Madrid, although it has barely hit me; I am excited, but still apprehensive about meeting my host family and my lack of Spanish vocabulary. I've done no official sight seeing yet, but we did walk around Plaza Mayor and Plaza del Sol, as well as the Royal Palace.
