Well I made it here safe and sound. The flight was the longest, most boring flight... 14 hours of sitting there gets pretty old real quick. For some reason even with an advil pm and a bonine I was unable to sleep more than maybe an hour or two. I got dropped off at my hotel at about 8:00pm here and immediately skyped my parents. Then the 24 hours of traveling kicked in and I was exhausted so I showered and went to bed. I had to go to the store to get shampoo because all they had in the shower was a bar of soap. I was unable to find conditioner. I also have not found a straightener for my hair so I should look interesting. I also need to find a power converter. Im at 30% on my laptop but I need a converter to charge it. I met someone that will be teaching with me. He rode with me from the airport. He was here a year ago so I think he will be a good help to me. He was already talking about getting me a metro card and cell phone so we will see how that goes today! The thing that has been the biggest culture shock to me was when I was in the Korean mart. The cashier didnt speak English and everything was written in Korean. I just happened to find one bottle that actually said shampoo in english.. just everything else was in Korean. Well i need to save my battery until I find a converter so this is all for now!
I will be keeping a blog while I'm in South Korea for the year to keep everyone up to date on my adventure since I will be unable to talk on the phone. I will try to update at least once a week.
