Korea!

So, I know that I told friends and family about Korea and Jeju island, and confused them and myself about how big each population is.

There are a lot of people. Everywhere.

Korea is about the same size as the state of Indiana (100,000 square kilometers), with a population of 50 million. 50 million is one sixth of the population of the united states. Jeju itself is about 1.5 times the size of story county (an average sized county in Iowa), with a population of 565,000 people. It's a lot.

... more on other things later. I am getting a bit more nervous and much more excited about teaching with each lecture that we have during orientation.
