Arrived

Well I am in Korea now. Flight over was long but smooth. Singapore airlines is the bomb! Hot towels, complimentary toothbrushes, socks, video games and 60+ movies to choose from. Highly recommended. Also recommended is the movie, "The Emperor's Journey." Penguins kick ass! Our apartment is nice on the 14th floor of a 15 floor building. It is brand new with a bunch of high tech gadgetry that we have no idea how to use because everything is in Korean, which I have a very hard time reading. The apartment also has a giant window which looks out toward the granite. I can see it, but I have yet to lay hands on it.

Breakfast: Wow, great first experience with Korean food. As near as I can tell it was like the Korean equivalent of a Denny's, except the food was really good. Both Mel and I ate for the equivalent of $5. Kimchee (spicy kraut), Kimbap (like sushi, but cooked and no fish), and a great soup. Melanie is on total veggie vacation for the time being. We have no idea what we are ordering.

School: I am sitting in the greeting area for ENCT (our school) right now. It is still under construction, but appears as though it will be ready to go in two weeks. It is a mini "American" village with a bank, post office, library, theatre, shopping mall, etc. Looks like it will be a great way to teach English! This is going to be awesome!
