Many people ask me why I run, because it is not a fad, not just for health or to maintain the weight you lose both cost me (15 lbs), but rather deal with me every time I do.

Since returning to resume training for more than a year to me was very significant to finish the race (10 km), within me I felt an emotion that simply could not describe it, maybe even wanted to mourn for the excitement to end of competition at that time.

Then came more and more skills and gaining more confidence in them, putting even greater challenges in distance and time, yet my thoughts on the course were beginning to be clear because I enjoyed it so much.

Well after a month, I have thought proper to write a few small suggestions or tips for future students coming to Korea.

This is written based on my experience of being a first month here, if in the coming months I think it deserves an update I will.

1. Passport Photos: In many places you ask for them, and in my case in Ecuador are cheaper photos, so I recommend you bring passport photos.
2. Application for multiple entry: When I did get a visa for one entry to Korea, but here in the immigration office make the change without problems, so you use? because you used when you want to go visit other countries you do not re-enter Korea problem.
3. Change money at the airport: From what I've seen so far, at the airport change is higher than banks in Seoul, so it may recommend that you change your money at the airport, change when the eye was high there, and banks is lower, now do not know.
4. Deodorants: If, as you listen, here there is no deodorant at all stores, what Koreans have told me because of the food and your body does not use them, so well told in the shops are, but that if a price 10 to 15 USD, so I recommend that you bring from home, so bring the ones you like because there is no choice here.

A month ago I left home to get to Seoul. Things have happened so fast that the truth until a few days ago I realized that we were already a month.

Time has passed very quickly, and only left me 12 months.

I've spent all this time to full, so I have not had much time to write, but I have a lot of posts in the head posts in draft, so these days I'll be a little more free I hope to share with you all .

A hug from a distance.

I leave you with a photo of my co-mastered. More photos on my account with Flickr

Well always heard of the rare and eccentric meals Asians in general, but until it was my turn to try one of these.

Actually I was not prepared for it or anything, just went to train with a Korean friend asked me if I liked the octopus, I said yes, then went to this restaurant for lunch.

Requested dishes and we listed first octopus boil, put the living bone in a pot hiviendo have them a few minutes and cut into pieces and eat it to this very rich truth.

Then he asked for another plate and brought alive with scissors just started to cut into parts, the tentacles were moving and eating has been said, I was cold, I said help yourself, so I grabbed a piece and stated in very but very rich.

Unfortunately I had no camera with me so I could not graphically documenting this, but I assure you again, I really liked.

Here I put some videos very illustrative for the case
