The one interesting thing about Korea, so far, is that you do not often see the sun. When I say that you don't "see" it, I mean that you know the sun is up and shining, but that it is blocked by the heavy cloud cover or by the giant fog clouds that hang over the city and the hills that surround the school. I only mention this because I thought it was amazing to actually see the sun one day, and to see the sun set.
I mentioned that it was amazing to see the sun, and there's actually a story behind that. We were hear almost a week and it was either raining or cloudy or the sky was full of fog, so much so that you could only sense that the sun was there. We had recently eaten dinner at the Muffin Tree, the little coffee shop behind the school, and it had just poured a few minutes earlier. It was at that point when we were headed back to the dorms and I looked up and was like "holy crap, its the sun... its been a whole week since I have seen it". I have never quite had that feeling before, but it seemed so foreign to actually see the little yellow object floating in the sky.
That is why I started snapping photos of the sunset the other night. Amber and I were sitting in bed and I happened to look at our window shades and all you could see was the bright orange glow coming from behind them. I decided to open the windows and lean out of the balcony to snap some pictures of the sun and the surrounding areas. I must have stood out there for 15 minutes looking at how truly beautiful the sky was. I decided I would share those pictures with all of you... they claim that a picture is worth a thousand words, but I don't think any picture can adequately explain or show the true emotions of actually seeing it yourself... but enjoy.
