Last night we went to McDonald's and Baskin Robbins. I never thought I would really appreciate either one. It's funny how Western people or restaurants put a smile on my face. I didn't realize how attached I am to my home and country. As we were heading back to the dorms we stumbled on a candle light protest for the "American Beef". It was a bit uncomfortable and I was walking fast (that's why the picture is blurry). The man in the orange hat is on a PA shouting and the people were repeating it back. There were police watching (with paddy waggons). I'm sure it was a peaceful protest. My teacher explained that there is crime here, but the street crime level is lower than in US. The only danger is...getting hit by a car. They have street lights, but it seems more like a game of chicken with traffic.
Tomorrow we leave to go see a palace in Seoul.
