Dan and Tan finally arrived in Icheon, Korea after 16 hours of flying. We departed from Ontario airport and headed to San Fransisco for the 1st layover. Our layover in S.F. was short which was great because we did not have to rush to the terminal or wait long. Our layover in Tokyo was not really a layover. We literally got off the plane and ran to the terminal just to make the final boarding call. Once we landed we gathering our 30 bags of luggage and made our way through customs. The airport was fairly new and extremely efficient. We were then met by our taxi driver who held a sign that read our names just like in the movies. The taxi driver took one look at our luggage and couldn't help but burst out with laughter. He took us over to the car and proceeded to pile our stuff inside. Let's just say that it all finally fit after filling up every square inch of free space.
As we drove to Namyangju, we couldn't help but notice how vast and expansive the city of Seoul really is. We hit a lot of traffic and finally arrived at our hotel/home for 3 days until the schools get our apartment ready. Daniel's co teacher Heather got us settled into the hotel and informed us about our school duties which start on Monday. The hotel is realatively small and not the Hilton but it does have heated floors, a 1970s red mood lamp, and internet access which is a plus. As for the weather, from two So Cal natives it is sooooo cold it reminds me of being in New York during Christmas time. Today we will trying to explore the town and get some food.
