OH MY GOD I'M IN KOREA!!!!!

Mad dash to the plane...

The adventure started with me having to run to get on the plane to Chicago because US customs was BUSYYYYY.....my plane borded at 9:50am I borded at10:10...plane left at 10:20...eeek! But I got on ok and my bags made it in too!!!


Lost in O'hare...

So Chicago airport sucks...its large and I was lost...terminal 3 is where I got off and I had to get to terminal 5...hahaha an adventure on its own. I made it! I got on the next flight...the 12 hr flight to Seoul. The ride was good, I watched 4 movies, didn't sleep much. Got the middle seat which was terrible. But I made it thru.

"Excuse me ma'am are you with the US military..."

That is what a man said as I got off the plane in Seoul...."umm, no! I'm from Canada!"... hahaha. From Seoul I flew to Daegu where I was greated by Cass!!! so glad to see a familiar face. I was then taken to my temporary apartment...

So that's it, my trip to getting here...but let me just say the adventure had just begun when I arrived...The first few days have been insane. I'm overwhelmed, but in a good way, so much to see, and do it seems...I don't understand a damn thing and its frustrating as hell, I am determined to learn. Its also HOT HOT HOT ....humid and the mosquitos are BAD!!!

I ate silk worms (not as bad as it sounds) I drank soju....like vodka but not...so far everything has been good. I've been for some walks, have gotten lost around the city (everything looks the same) and today I started training. The kids are cute but crazy!!!

I don't have internet yet, so internet use is limited, next week hopefully I will have internet and phone!!! I feel so disconnected from everything. I have taken some pictures, will post as soon as I have my own internet connection cause the computers I have been using are all in Korean and I don't what buttons are which...hahaa

More to come soon!!!
