Well, I am here in Korea! Lets start with the plane ride, we had very helpful people at the airport that let us change our seats so that we could all sit closer together on the plane rather than being in 4 different areas of the plane. We got our luggage and oh man, did we pack a lot. My luggage was new then I left the US,but it is now broken by the time I got it off the plane in Korea. I will most likely have to get a new suitcase to come home. There was a man with our names on a sign at the airport to pick us up, but he spoke no English. He wanted pictures with Falyn. ( He may have liked her a little.)
Anyway, the driver got us a little lost on the way to KU. We were all worried for our lives because driving here is crazy. However, we made it to our dorm and the coordinator showed us to our rooms. Falyn and I are rooming together, but we have a very small room and bunk beds. Erin and Keely have separate beds and lots of room which is great. Falyn and I have three other roommates and they thought we weren't coming so took all of the space in the common areas of our suite. We have only meet one of them, but haven't gotten to talk with her at all. Once we dropped our luggage off in our rooms we went to dinner with the coordinator Ally and two girls from Florida that are doing the same program as us. Their name are Pey and Natalia. They are very helpful!
We all woke up very early and went to a place called "Paris Baguette", that is right down the street from us, to eat breakfast. From there we found our way to the subway and then the store, which had everything. Erin and Keely have one roommate that seems very nice, she helped us get to the store on Sunday. I bought an adapter here and it won't stay in the outlet so I may have to get one sent to me, but if I can get tape, then it should work for the time being. That is all we have done so far, just working on getting settled in. I will tell you more when more happens!
