First Day in Korea

Sam and Chloe have arrived in Korea, with Kimbo packed safely in Chloe's suitcase. When we arrived we were tired but excited, and everything went really smoothly; customs, the transfer, even the in-flight movies, haha. We managed to send a quick e-mail home to allay any fears our families may have, and waited for our ride.... and waited... and waited... We called the number they gave us, and found out that traffic was insane. 3 hours later our guide showed up, with our very own cellphones ready and waiting. We traveled from the airport to Ansan, quizzing our guide on certain details and trying to sort out his accented English. You should've seen Sam's eyes when we drove through our neighbourhood, he looked like a little kid. It was about 9 at night, and bright as day! So much to see! Chloe tried to pay close attention to the trip, in case we needed to find anything again, but it was too confusing. Our guide asked for directions, and found underground parking beneath a large apartment building. We managed to get our luggage upstairs in one go, and got a brief tour of our apartment.

And then we were off again! We'd arrived on Saturday, and Chloe had to start work on Monday, so she needed to know the location of her school, and her class schedules. Fortunately, her school is really close, just 5 minutes from the apartment. It's a new school and really pretty. She met her manager (who doesn't speak English), and our guide translated everything she needed to know. Then we were left to our own devices! This meant a quick dinner (and we'll admit it, we were too tired to try anything new, or do any exploring, so we got take out McD's) and then figuring out the sleeping arrangements. First day in Korea a success!
