We arrived in Seoul early Monday morning and took a bus ride from the airport to our city. On the way we drove through beautiful mountains and tunnels, not that I was awake to witness any of it as I was completely unconscious in my seat knocked out from a Airborne cocktail and NyQuil. Apparently I have been sitting next to the sickest person in my vicinity. On the bus even the older gentleman sitting ahead of me sounded like he was going to hack up a lung.
When we arrived we were greeted at the airport by Sean, the same person who conducted our phone interview at the school. He took us out to a really great lunch and then took us to a really great hotel for the night because our apartment was in the process of being cleaned. We fell asleep at three in the afternoon Gwangju time. BIG mistake as we were up by three am and watched movies the whole night. We found a website online and watched Alvin and the Chipmunks Sqeakual. We then met Sean again that next day and were taken out to another great lunch with Pizza. The pizza was interesting to say the least, but not entirely bad either. I enjoyed it along with the awesome seafood pasta. From me that means a lot because I do not like seafood, but it ROCKED!
After lunch, we went to see our school for the first time. We met the teacher we are taking the place of and got to ask a million questions. I think she was tired of us by the end of the day. haha We met our school director as well. He was really nice and we think we are going to get along very well. He and his wife were both very nice.
Later in the evening we moved into our apartment. The directors from the other campus dropped off some house warming gifts for us. They brought us some kitchen stuff as well as some nice bedding. It was very considerate of them. We finally got to bed around nine after we unpacked a little bit. It is starting to feel a bit more like home.
