On the 16th day of November, I had left the comforts of my hometown of Denver to begin the journey to South Korea. In this journey I was fortunate to learn and study about the Korean criminal justice system and the strong culture they value. After a long 16 hour flight I had finally arrived in Incheon Korea. After waiting for the bus, and the check in at the hotel I was ready to explore Korea until my classmate arrived. When the whole class arrived the following day, I was eager to get out and learn something. That night two other classmates and I went out for dinner to this very traditional Korean restaurant. Being half Korean and being my second time to Korea, I kind of knew what to expect in regards to the culture shock. In this restaurant they served very different types of Korean food some that I’ve never even heard of. Common things like kimchi soup all the way to chicken poop sack meal. We knew we were in for a treat.

Here in the states, we also are known for using DNA, and using video surveillance but what I think the main difference between Korea and the US is that in Korea, it seems like things get done so much faster and the video surveillance is much better than what we have in the
