I stayed last night at a guest house in Incheon and today took the airport bus and got myself checked-in to the Crimson House. I got a power strip, new dictionary, and a cell phone.
For reference my cell phone number is
011-82 (international code, country code) (0)10-2624-1464
I saw someone on the subway playing with their cell phone while in the subway car. I figured they were seeing the time or writing a text message but then they answered the phone. I decided to check mine and saw I had full reception in the subway. Mind you I was standing in the subway car traveling between stations; full signal. Despite my cell phone in the States, which loses signal inside of my office (boy those paper thin walls sure seem to block signal...) my cell phone here has full reception basically anywhere. Oh yeah, and it is standard to have 2 batteries that come with each phone and I can charge the one on my phone or the second battery in the charger. It's an LG slide phone (read: expensive) with Samsung batterys, came with a hands free unit and plastic protection case for $30 with a 4 month contract of $13 a month plus calls I make (read: no wasted minutes and overage charges and cheaper than the phone plan I had 4 years ago attending Yonsei Univeristy).
It is not as humid as China was and it's not that hot (today). If it does get hot I might invest in a fan.
Slept a fair amount off and on on the airplane, that and arriving at night (so I crash when everyone else in the country does) I am basically adjusted to the time difference.
The laptop is working well, have it wired into the network and have 4mb dl speed with 250kb upload speed. At church I could get 130k dl and 30~40k upload, at home 115k download and 12k upload. Now pages pop open just like that! I love being in the country with the best high speed connections to people ratio in the world.
