Friday, April 16

What time is it?

For those of you curious, it is 5:30 am on Saturday April 17th. For those of you on the east coast, right now it is 4:30 pm on Friday April 16th. We are 13 hours ahead (but only during daylight savings time, otherwise Korea would only be 12 hours ahead).

Other fun facts:
Most toilets have signs saying do not flush anything down the toilet, including toilet paper. You should throw your toilet paper in the trash.
Except for main roads, there are no sidewalks. Everyone walks down the sides or center of the street and cars just don't hit you.
Our hostel has heated floors. Best thing ever.
$1 equals 1100 won.
When a crosswalk is present, no one walks when the little man is red. Even if absolutely no cars are coming, they will wait until the little man is green.

Alright time to catch our train to Gyeongju.
