So we made it! Today (which is Thursday) is the first time we've had internet access which is why no one has heard from us up till now. We got on a plane at 6:00 on Monday morning and landed in Seoul at 9:00 on Tuesday Evening. During the plane rides we had the joy of watching part of Paul Blart Mall Cop, The Pink Panther 2, and part of He just not that into you. Basically we spent about 15 hours in the air in total, and another 6 or 7 in the airports, one of which was in Tokyo. We ate Sushi at that one. We then spent 4 hours on a Limo bus, which is really just a nice bus with reclining seats. Not a giant limousine. My heart was somewhat broken.

When we got to the bus station and our boss was there to pick us up. (Which is exceptionally nice since it was 1:00 AM when we got there. The hotel we're staying at is not bad. It falls under the category of a Love Motel. It's nothing like the Division street hotels that maintain that same definition, it's clean and the staff are not frightening. We did however find a condom in our tray of toiletries, which I must admit was a bit strange.

We had the chance to wander the streets yesterday which was nice, other than getting lost like 5 times and being a little frightened during that time because we couldn't really explain what we needed to the people we were asking for help. When we got back the hotel staff didn't recognize us and wouldn't give us our key. We couldn't speak any Korean, so we spent a good 15 minutes trying to explain that we just wanted our room key. A little frustrating but not bad.

Anyhow, I'll try to get more of this down in the next few days, but I wanted everyone to know that we're alive and well out here in Gwangju. We'll chat with all of y'all later
