USA Base


I got the chance of a lifetime yesterday, I was brought onto the American Army base. I know, wow.... oooohhhhh. But really I felt like I was at Disneyland. First of all I was with Americans all day. Normally my day conisists of Koreans and Canadians, everyonce in awhile throw in a nonpatriotic American ( I am very patriotic and I really don't like Americans that complain about the USA). I really like Koreans and my bestfriend here is Canadian, but being with all Americans just made my day. It was really comforting, and I felt like I was at home. I was brought on the base by some of my new friends that I met. They are all officers, so they all had cars, can you say jealous much???? They gave me a tour of the base and we ate at a very yummy Mexican resturant. Then the real fun began. First we went bowling. This was such a great time, we played on teams and I got the highest score I have ever had and our team won. I have never even broke 80, but my goal has always been to go over 100 and I got a 105. I was beyond excited and everyone was really impressed with me, especially since my first game was a 67. We play three games total and then we went to play miniture golf. Yep all of this is on the U.S base. I actually putted quite well, my dad would've been really proud of me, I even got a hole in one, take that Tiger Woods!!!!! The weather was perfect for the game and after we finished we didn't want to go back indoors so we headed to the batting cages. Again, I was impressed that I was able to hit a lot of balls. It was like my sports aura came out that day, and I could do no wrong. To wind up the day, we got some grocceries and we went back to one of their apartments that was off base, and I got a free cooking lesson, watch out Rachel Ray here I come. It was a great day and I am so thankful to my new American friends, Go USA!!!!!

Being on base is really like being in a different world, isn't it? You don't feel like you're in Korea at all.

After the 7th or 8th time on base, eating Taco Bell didn't seem so special anymore.
