I never imagined that I would have this feeling on this trip, but I feel like I am truly connecting with people here, even if its for a brief amount of time.  And it's getting harder and harder to say goodbye to them.  In Kyeong Ju, I wanted to cry when we left Seoyeon (our translator).  She had become the fifth member of our team.  She spoke very good English, was lots of fun, and I certainly appreciated having her with us since I'm the only female in the group.  Last night, saying goodbye to Eun-Young and Mi-Young was also depressing.  I don't know what it was that connected us so well but part of me doesn't want to leave them.

When we returned to the dormitory last night, they really did call an assembly of all of the girls.  They wanted to ask us questions and talk to us.  I think there were about 150 girls there.  We each introduced ourselves (in Korean) and talked a little about ourselves.  Travis and I taught them how to do the Gator Chomp.  I took pictures but that's one of those things that you just had to be there for...I was so proud!  I'm spreading the Gator Nation spirit all over!  Then we went to the singing room for a while...thank God for certain pop songs because although it might be hard for us to communicate, we all were able to sing and dance together to some songs (mostly Britney of course).  We also showed some girls pictures from home...they were quite fond of my brother, Adam.  Adam, you've got some fans over here! 

Today we leave for Andong...once again, I have no idea where we're staying or what we're doing (that's just how it is in every city) but I'm told we'll be there for 4 nights.  Hopefully, I'll have Internet access to keep this updated.  I will never forget Seoyeon, Eun-Young, or Mi-Young and I hope they all know how much their friendship meant to me, even during such a short time.  It's a great feeling knowing that I'll now have friends halfway across the world.
