Happy 빼빼로 Day !

빼빼로 [peppero] is basically Pocky stick, an Asian snack from Japan! Here in Korea it’s known as 빼빼로 and is known as an informal holiday on 11/11 because the “11″ looks like the 빼빼로 sticks. LOL. On this day you would give 빼빼로 to friends and family or as a gift to your significant other. So Happy 빼빼로 Day!!!!

Also we crammed ourselves into a two-person 노래방 [noraebang- Korean version of karaoke] box. Inside with me was, my best friend Michelle, who I met on my flight to D.C. for orientation, Josh my 동생 [dongseng- little brother] aka 하림[harim] chicken (his korean name is the same name for a famous Korean Chicken company ROFL), Seabass aka Sebastian, Joseph, and Clara. We were singing the oh-so-famous song “I’m a Barbie Girl“~

Arrived in D.C.

I just arrived in D.C. the plane ride wasn’t too long. I slept most of the time! I got this great picture of maybe Mt. Rainier I’ll post it up later! It was beautiful! My suitcase was exactly 47 pounds! I have this packet of mnm’s that is 3 pounds that we took out! I couldn’t believe it we could of left it in! The weather is pretty humid, but overall its pretty nice. We are staying at this nice hotel and I met all the other girls I will be traveling with. There are 5 of us and everyone is nice!

Leaving and super nervous!

Hey I’m leaving tomorrow and my flight is at 6 am!! I’m going to be really tired in the morning! My suitcase is packed and we had to take a few things out because it was over 5o pounds! I have this heavy duty REI backpack and it feels like I’m camping!
