 ==== What I learned in Korea ====
-This week I took a trip to Jeju Island to meet up with Dongbin. His father has a vacation house on the island and was having a family reunion. In Jeju I learned more about what Koreans do on their vacations. I learned this from the various amenities and facilities available on the island. This includes beaches, random museums (There were lightning museums to African Culture museums), stores, and restaurants. I was also lucky since the place that Dongbin's family was staying at had real natural Japanese style Onsens. Dongbin's family took me around the island and showed me different aspects from the touristy to more local spots.
+This week I took a trip to Jeju Island to meet up with Dongbin. His father has a vacation house on the island and was having a family reunion. In Jeju I learned more about what Koreans do on their vacations. What I learned on this trip was how seriously Koreans take hospitality. I have visited Dongbin and every time I did I found myself not allowed to help him in any way. I was to only sit back and relax. I had thought that this was his way of showing hospitality but after meeting a lot of his family I now know that this is how his family treats guests. I have only been invited to a Korean friends home twice but both experience have been similar.
 ==== Project status ====
-I was able to finish up the last bits of the tutorials that I had trouble with. I was finally able to add the tutorials on how to set up the simple navigation examples that came with the podo example folder. With this I am done with all of the tutorials that I needed to finish while at KAIST. I now plan on moving on and working on some tutorials on PODO and ALs that would encompass all that I have learned from the other students at KAIST. I also want to get a head start on the work that I need to do once back in Las Vegas.

I was finally able to add the tutorials on how to set up the simple navigation examples that came with the podo example folder. With this I am almost done with all of the tutorials that I needed to finish while at KAIST. I now plan on moving on and working on some tutorials on PODO and ALs that would encompass all that I have learned from the other students at KAIST. I hope that these new tutorials will help students understand PODO at their own pace and make working with any HUBO less daunting. To finish the last tutorials/experiments I will have to put together all of the knowledge on PODO and HUBO that I have gathered over the summer. The last pieces I need are how to control the hand inside the simulator and how to use lidar/slam data gathered from the robot in an AL. I will need to ask Jeongsoo soon as I do not have a lot of time left here.

-This is a picture that Dongbin, his sister, and I took at the top of Hala mountain. This is the tallest mountain in Korea and was an 8 hour hike. I really struggled to get to the top and even took a nap at the top for a while before coming back down.
+This is a picture that Dongbin, his sister, and I took at the top of Hala mountain. This is the tallest mountain in Korea and was an 8 hour hike. This hike really help hit home the idea that doing a little bit every day over time can accomplish great things. It's not about doing as much as you can but to do it constantly.
 ==== What I learned about myself ====
-I learned that I am not as strong at drinking as I had previously believed. I also found that drinking copious amounts is not something that I enjoy doing.
+I learned that even if I am not the fastest person in my group I will not fail even if I fall behind. I will continue to plod on until I reach my goal.
 ==== New People I met this week ====
 This week I met all of Dongbin's family on his fathers side.
