Hangul (Korean language) has an awesome alphabet that&#8217;s easy to learn, but I&#8217;m having massive problems learning the language itself. A lot of letters change their sound depending on where they are in the word really makes things difficult.

Why anyone who has a choice stays in Canada renting is beyond me. I understand most are tied down to jobs or family though. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be honest, although I&#8217;ve been two times for a week each on tours with the band in the past, I&#8217;m really going into this pretty blind. I only have a couple friends there and they&#8217;re nowhere near where I&#8217;m staying. So, it&#8217;ll be a bit of a trial by fire.
