Dorm Eddie
Our dorm room at Jeonju University Eddie here, I've managed to get our computer working in the dormitory here at Jeonju University and this the Frederick's first blog entry! Stacey is asleep behind me, we are still tired from our grueling, long trip yesterday (and the day before since we technically lost a day).
We made it to Korea fine, the flight was surprisingly pleasant for an 11 hour journey in economy, the service staff on Korean Air was excellent and the one other person sharing our seat row was polite and quiet. After arriving in Seoul we hopped on a bus and made another 4 hour drive down to Jeonju, the capitol of the Jeollabuk-do, the north Jeolla Province. We will be staying at the University here for the next several days for an orientation and will then head to Busan, the province where Stacey will be teaching.
We have already learned much about the differences between Korean culture and that of the United States and I'm sure we will learn more in the coming months. I'll try to keep you all posted with pictures and news as our journey continues. We are well and excited to experience Korea. Until next blog, goodbye, or
