I'm residing in a college dorm for the next 9 days... It feels like frosh year all over again! I even get a roommate. She is super nice and we are headed to the same region. Woot! My flight was smooth and safe (Hollar for Singapore Air). There has been a lot of waiting around and I did my first set of currency exchange in San Francisco Int'l airport... Everything feels familiar. On the flight I sat next to a guy from Quebec. We spoke French and spoke for about 1/2 of the flight, which is an impressive 6 hours. Everyone has been helpful and I am making contacts. I am exhausted though. Also, I have a better understanding now about why expats seek out other expats. It good to stay grounded as long as I don't continue a dependency on English. PS- I saw my first Starbucks on the bus ride to campus... I've learned to read Korean already, which is bomb fo sho. Well, I just wanted to give a shout out from Seoul... Peaces.

I was so glad to read your blog! It was good to hear you had a good flight and are comfortable with the situation so far. I tried to call your cell phone yesterday before your flight, but unfortunately I got your message and missed talking to you. I'm thinking about you each and every day and wishing you the best of luck! Linda

I'm so glad you arrived safely and are settling in. Must be a bit weird sting at a dorm... and a roommate! Roommates can be fun... a built in friend! I imagine learning Korean is a challenge sine the written language is so different from English/French. Good for you to taking to it so well. I tried Japanese for a bit and that was challenging. I could get the spoken language better, but that was difficult too. Total immersion is the best way to go to learn a language. XOXO Nett
