Day one

wow! Korea is crazy...it has so much of is native clutlure and living, yet a block away from the most native vendors in a street market (no english, eels and fich just swimming around in front of stands so you can see they are fresh and good to eat) is a mall thatI refer to as Little America. For breakfast we went to a small street maket were we ate @ a small resturant which was strictly Korean food, and Korean speaking. Our waiter was very nice and spoke to us as he could. It was very authentic that is for sure. So directly after we stumbled through breakfast (I had steamed dumplings) we ended up basically in the middle of a mall! Crazy. It was very modern. Our hotel s directly across from the Korean Sea (beautiful) where we were able to hang out for a bit and play frisbee! In the evening we gathered toegther for teh first time at the Bexco Convencation Hall and were formally welcomed by Natiev dancers as well as the Mayor of Busan. I ahve to say the highlight of the day was worhsiping with 6,000 other people in a place where 127 countries were represented! God really is amazing. To hear people worship God in countless languages blows my mind. There were people from Taiwan and Zambia right behind me. I am going to try to post some pics on my facebook. We'll see. missing you all. praying that God is with you and you can see him as much as I am. Off to breakfast....seaweed wrap!
