I'm in Korea

In case you didn't know, the plane ride was long. A little over 15 hours from Chicago to Seoul.  We flew northwest over Alaska and then through Russia and China on Asiana Airlines.  I gave the flight attendant a piece of chocolate and she gave me a green pen that says Asiana Airlines on it.  It's a pretty awesome pen because it was my first gift from a Korean. While flying over the Artic, I got to look at this (I'm so lucky I had a window seat on this side of the plane).

We landed at Incheon Airport, which is just west of Seoul.  This airport was huge and awesome.  I grabbed the wrong bag after baggage claim. Luckily it was Kayla's (a girl who is also in TaLK), and not someone who would have packed illegal substances in their bag.  I would have had a difficult time at customs.  Getting the bag back was easy and hilarious.  There were about five Koreans who made it their mission to get me that bag.  You should have seen their excitement when I got it.  I wish I had more chocolate to give them. :(

After about an hour and a half at the airport, we took a bus to Jincheon (this took another 2 hours...). Sorry I don't have pics of Seoul yet!! I will have them as soon as possible, but I am nowhere near there right now. I'm not sure when I'll have the chance to travel there.  I can't remember when we finally made it to Korea University Sejong.  I was a little out of it (long trip).

My dorm room is normal sized, like any other college dorm, but it's new and fresh.  We have to take our shoes off at the front :D  And the floors are heated!! :D

Everyone in this program is really cool. It's hard to memorize so many names though. I do remember Jason though, but only because he is my roommate, and he's from New Zealand which is also pretty cool. 

At our opening ceremony we saw some pretty cool shows that were put on for us.  Mostly dancing, but there was also this Tae kwon do/Dance thing that was awesome.  I've never seen people jump around like that.  I am now a little afraid of Korean kids...I'm pretty sure they could all kick my ass.  But I'm going to love it here.
