Korea continues to rock today.
I met a new American friend via Facebook last night, and we decided to visit an English church here in Changwon. It's called Hanbit International Christian Fellowship, and so far it's great.
It's a ministry of a Korean Presybterian church here in town. It's about a 15-minute walk from home. The preacher is a missionary from the Netherlands, and I had my first true "international moment" when I realized I was singing hymns in English with a bunch of Koreans (and other nationalities) followed by preaching with a strong Dutch accent.
The English church isn't big -- there were about 30 people there -- but they were, of course, super friendly. It's probably half Koreans and half foreigners. I met a few of the foreigners, and one of them, an engineer from Michigan named Steve, gave my friend and I a ride back to where we'd have lunch.
Adding to the awesomeness is having a foreign teacher friend who is actually less experienced at Korea than I am. I got to teach her a little about how to get around and get along here. She gave me someone bright and super-fun to hang out with... who also happens to own a Wii. But, I swear, I did not know that when I decided to be her friend.
