Tourist Shots

My Korean adventure started in 1989 with my first trip to Seoul.  I spent 450+ days in Korea from Jan. 1989 through Nov. 1992.   I was amazed at being in Korea.  Having grown up in Podunkville, Okla., what was I doing in a foreign country?  Consider the lists of first for me on that first trip:

First commercial flight ( with a 104 degree fever no less )
First ride on a train
First ride on a commercial bus
First taxi ride
First subway ride

What was I doing in this strange land at age 24?  Well, after my first 7 week trip, I decided that I needed to learn as much about the Korean people as I could to survive the ordeal.  What I found truly surprised me!  The Korean people are some of the most interesting people in the world.  Please read on as I describe some of my adventures in Korea.
