I am here

---

Well it is 7:38 am on Sunday the 15th ( I am 14 hours ahead of all of you) and it is already 25 degrees!
Lets see...flying, oh was that not the most fun thing i have ever done...NOT!

I left for the airport on the 13th with mom and we got there and had a coffee with dad, and then at 10:15am or so I said goodbye to mom and dad( like that wasn't the hardest thing!) and then i went on through to my first flight. We were suppose to leave at 11:15am and didnt get off the ground until 12:40ish.. my connecting flight was at 1:25 and i had to RUN RUN RUN through the airport in Vancouver and i JUST made it...then it was off for 11.5 hours of flying. I got the whole bulkhead to myself and so i made a bed! The Australians i sat near were really nice, just going home from a month of snowboarding at Whistler; the one had a broken arm...wonder where that came from!

We finally arrived in Korea at 5:00pm and that was umm somewhere in the wee hours of the morning for all of you! I was going to call home and say hi because at that moment there was not one English speaking person in the airport where i was sitting, but then i realized what time it was! I was SO SO SO SO SO tired and just wanted to sleep , but i remembered that mom said if i put my bags down they might go missing.. so i waited till 8:20pm when I got on the plane. Then I slept the whole rest of that 6 hour flight! missed dinner and everything.

I arrived here at 11:38, and had an hours wait to go through immigration. I got my pack and went to find John and Nhun( one of the students living with them, she is finishing her masters in public communications with a 4.0, pretty good i say!) At that time it was around 1am (about 2 in the afternoon on the 14th for you) and then we had about a 45 min drive to their house. Let me tell you, the heat was hot even at night, i think i am going to be drinking LOTS AND LOTS of water!

Today i am going to go and get my money exchanges ( i was kinda out of it last night and forgot) and then i think i am going to see if i can get a room at my joining hotel and see if anyone from the tour is there yet!

Anyways, i am going to go see if i can find some food because i am starving!

Lots of love,

Tay
