Today has been EXTREMELY long, tense and frustrating!!!
I've had about 3 breakdowns and contemplated quitting my job more than once today. We worked 13 hours straight, and actually some of the group is still working. Most of us worked through the day without a lunch break.
It feels like I imagine a sweat shop to be.
We had to be out of the meeting rooms here in the hotel at 5:00PM, so we continued to work in our rooms, WITH the distributors. Distributors in my room, in my bathroom, POOPING in my toilet-stinking up my room -literally.
One of the distributors started singing "Let's Get Physical" to me... WTF!
Housekeeping should be coming any minute to clean my room before I go to bed.
I think I'm getting sick, my throat is sore and I'm exhausted.

Korea Day3? Day 4? ....
The days blend together. I dinally was able to sleep for about 7 hours lasst ninght, I woke up refreshed and ready t start the day.
Yesterday was a VERY productive day, I am so proud of our group! We rocked it yesterday!
Worked abouot 12 - 13 hours and then went out for dinner. We all went to this Korean BBQ place. Possibly one of the MOST disgusting, offensive places I've ever gone to eat. It hurt my feelings. So much meat, I don't understand how people can just eat anything and not car what it is, or where it cam from...
Bloody Liver Soup..
Eggs???
Vegetables in blood -it's cold...
Okay, for real??? What is this?
Classic Colt!!
Metal Chopsticks!!
MonaVie Korea Group One! (rockstars)
After dinner, I came back to my room, took a bath, and an atvian and fell asleep.
Today I will take some pics of our group working, so you can see what it's like.
Thanks for reading! :)

Korea - today is Day 4. Thursday AM
Once again, up at 4 AM! Jeff and I bought web cams before i left, and they arer so cool. I get to see and talk to my animals, they can see and here me. Its really cool! Kaia and Rocky are super receptive to it.
It helps to ease the lonliness too! It's nice to see Jeffy's face. It makes a world of difference.
Well today is going to be a very productive day, i can feel it! I just know it.
The program should be all fixed and formatted correctly so we can start enrolling Korean distributors!!
Jeff is planning on coming out here in 2 days! The Chinese new year is on Sunday and Monday, so it will be a pretty cool celebration with fireworks and parades. :) He will be staying for a whole week. I really hope we can make it work!
I really hope the sun shines today! I need to see the SUN! PlEASE! Sun! Please.
Yes, I am getting more and more delusional the less sleep I get and the less sun I see.
Korea is off the heezy fo sheezy!!
Update to my lost/stolen debit card, I am OUT if money.. OUT!! Jeff is trying to Western Union me some money as we speak.

KOREA day 3
I can't sleep in this time zone! It is hard to adjust to an 8 hour difference- im living in the future! :)
Day 3 we worked for the first day, well i guess not really worked, because the program wasn't fomratted right and we weren't able to complete ANY work at all!!
Jerica and I had to walk about 3 miles in our business suits (we looked amazing!) through the Coex Mall to get Korean keyboards.
After sitting around all day and scrambling to figure out what we were doing, we called it a day. :)
It's been very foggy and rainy here, today it cleared up a little bit and we were able to see a bit more of the country, its HUGE!!
We all went to a little bar called Billy's68.

Korea Day 2 Feb 9-10
Hey everybody! We had to move hotels, from the Grand Hyatt to the Park Hyatt. The Park Hyatt is so AMAZING!! I thought the last hotel we were in was the cream of the crop! Oh no... this one is beyond believable!! My room has a heated toilet, with a bidet!! Why don't we have these in America?? Completely necessary and practical!
The shower is a rain room, with a nice deep tub.. it's truly divine! There is a TV in there as well, it's unbelivable. Oh and the floors in the bathroom are HEATED!!
My room has really tall windows that have blinds that are electronic and open with the push of a button!!
Yesterday we hung out at the Coex Mall - it's actually right across the street from our new hotel. This mall is THE hugest mall I've never seen in my whole life!! It's probably at least 2 miles big and has everything you could ever want, including an aquarium, movie theater, museum and casino!
Last night we asked our concierge for a really great sushi place, he referred us to Yamamoto. It was about a 10 minute taxi ride, it was just Jerica, Kyle and myself. We were asked if we wanted sushi or sashimi. I told them sashimi and Jer and Kyle asked for sushi. We were thinking they were going to bring us a menu. Oh no.. they brought us two HUGE plates of fish. Then, about 4 or 5 othere courses. We had to ask them to stop bringing us food. They finally brought the bill and it was.... $400.00!!!!!!!!!! $400.00 freakin dollars!!! I handed them $40.00 because I just could not believe it was really $400.00!!!
