For all those who wonder

Korea:

Crime: at night you can walk down a dark alley and be afraid of nothing. I feel much safer here than most places in the states.

Walking: if your walking on the street you need to watch out for the following:
people talking on their cell phones, texting, watching tv, or playing a game (they don't look, they will walk right into you. Bikes, you need to watch out for bicycles, they get right of way, motorbikes, they are bigger and they also get right of way or well they take right of way, scooters, they will zoom right past you so watch out!

Transportation: Walking. you walk everywhere. or you can buy a cheap car and drive. You can get a motorcycle scooter or bike to ride.
or use the public transportation.
public transportation, you can use buses for short distances, the subway for across town and taxis for places you don't know how to get to by the bus, oh and you have to walk between all of these!
The T card, this card can be loaded with money and you just touch it to a pad that is found at the gates to the subway, on the bus and on taxis, it pays all of them! and if you use the bus then the subway the cost is decreased sometimes its free, this system makes so much since you will learn to love it after you get it!

Restrooms: Koreans do have American toilets, but they also have squatty toilets and some places if your lucky have these super cool ones that spray you clean with a jet of water then blow dry you, with a heated seat! it then changes the cover when you walk away. They have some high tech toilets! (warning the control pad is in Korean, one should use caution if you do not wish to have your whole body washed! also the one button in the back is suspect for who knows what, i don't entirely trust it!_
also alot of toilets have a sink in the top, so when the back part fills up you can wash your hands with the water before it goes to the tank saving water!
sometimes you have to bring your own tp, sometimes there is one big despenser in the main room and other times its in every stall.
bathrooms are not very well separated between men and women, sometimes all you get is a separate stall. fun stuff!

Trash:
Koreans recycle everything! I mean everything
most apartments have trash day once a week where you come down with your trash but it has to be separated by you.
plastic, plain paper (tissues), printed paper and wrappers, metal, Styrofoam, boxes, and food all are separate items to be separated...
fun stuff! we have about 10 cans in our apartment

TV:
we have tv cable actually with 4 movie channels that always play american movies mainly action.

internet: we have an internet connection in our building but we do not have wireless until i buy a router:-)

Church: Korea is by some sources 70% christian. so there churches everywhere.
Some churches are very fundamental and require only hymns because of their claimed value, while other churches allow the use of CCM music (if you don't know what that means, come here you will, it means contemporary Christian music, and to be honest i don't know what it means other than they are songs the churches have chosen to use for praise but their not hymns so there...)
Most churches here that i have seen are much like those in the states, especially mega churches, there are alot of those here, a good sized church here is about 500-1000 people.
oh and a good christian wears a suit. they also like to have throne like chairs up on the stage where the pastors sit, some of the churches are big into missions and homeless ministry, while others have such a large congregation one wonders when they will have time for those outside the church..... (please note im not judging im just trying to understand, i could be wrong in which case ill inform you as the time goes on)....

Pizza.
Pizza school is the best pizza place ever! it is super cheap and really good.
but warning most pizza places are ok, but they love tons of toppings from shrimp, to sweet potatoes to corn to whatever. think of it and they have a special for that pizza!

thats about all i have for now, ask me and ill tell you more about the things here.
