Message from Ian in Korea

This is the e-mail I received from Ian right after he arrived in Korea:

I am writing you from Camp Walker, Korea!  My flight here wasn't too bad- after
a long layover in San Francisco, I slept most of the way.

There is a first sergeant here from Wainwright that I met on the flight to
San Francisco that I have made friends with, and living with me now are two Air
Force captains that are pretty cool.  We are living in open bays with about two
dozen other officers, and it looks like it is going to grow to even more people.
I took this picture at a stop the bus made on the way to Dagau, and you can
see how pretty it is.  It looks a bit like Brazil.  They are very agricultural here-
every flat spot that is not a city is planted with rice, corn, or fruits.  I was a bit
surprised to see kudzu here at first, but I guess it is native here- it grows just
as densely here. I don't yet know what I will be doing, but it sounds like we will
start the exercise in a day or two once everybody else shows up.  I hope to be
busy enough to occupy  my time, but I also hope to have a chance to walk
around a bit. The weather is a bit like Alabama at the end of summer- hot and
humid with lots of rain, but it is only in the 80's or so.
-Ian

I am back from Germany.  More on that later.
