First impressions...

The commissary here is about the size of a Safeway, if not bigger, and very quiet. The availability of items is incredible, more than the Ft. Gordon commissary.
I havent seen very many families, excluding the ones on vacation. It may be that its spring break, either way I'm not complaining.
Everything here seems to be clean and user friendly. I have been to a couple of posts that make it impossible to get around without a car (Ft. Gordon), Yongsan is a total contrast. Most of the soldiers here aren't allowed to drive, so the public transportation system is a dream. Everything seems to work. I keep asking Chris if Taegu is going to be as nice, he says yes. I didn't believe him until he showed me a map of post and the bus schedule. I think we will be OK.
The city seems to be fairly clean of litter, considering the population. It may give the appearance of being dirty with the smog. The automobile pollution is very high. When the girls and I were out yesterday we saw people wearing masks. Most of them were cyclists and police officers. People who are constantly exposed to the pollution. By the end of our day my throat hurt and chest hurt. I think its from the exhaust.
I haven't experienced the legendary kegogi or rotten cabbage smell that permeates an entire city. When I do, I'll be sure to blog it. Validating those who had horror stories of Korea. Either way, Id rather be here than Augusta.
