Arrival in Korea

Hi Welcome to our BLOG journal.

Hope you will visit us often and enjoy your time with us!!!


ARRIVAL:
Well we arrived here on Monday 3rd March 2008.
Honestly we could have been led anywhere on Earth!
We arrived in Seoul, from Singapore where we spent 2 days to try and focus, late the afternoon at 17:30. All we had was the name of a Mr Lee and his cell no. [In Korea it is called a hand phone].

He met us, put us on a bus to Seosan and said something in Korean to the driver whom spoke zilch English. Well there we went, after 30 minutes it got dark so we could only see a freeway and car lights. The bus ride with all our baggage, took about 2+1/2 hours. There we waited on the bus until we were stuffed into a taxi who took us for another 1/2 hour. Stopped in a dark street and were met by 4 Koreans some spoke English while the others could hardly speak. We then walked up a little incline and into a building where we found our apartment on the 1st floor. It looked very comfortable but we had no bedding and it was about 3 degrees outside.

It was very interesting as we spent our first night in a Spa(their version of a motel).
The central heating was so hot that we first cooled the room off with the air-con. The next morning we were picked up for our first day at school at )8:10, so there we went.
watch for next blog
