Venture to Korea with Amanda & Abi

To all our friends, families, and vistors - thank you for visiting. We will be updating this blog as our adventure develops.

WE'RE HERE!

Hello all you lovely people! Amanda and I have made it to Busan! The flight was long but strangely tolerable with no delays or problems (although I did rip out the life vest tag on the last flight and we nearly had to stay behind for it to be replaced!) Our apartments are small but comfortable and we have air conditioning which is nice. Today we will have lunch with our director and we are hoping she will help us find some things like adaptors for our laptops and international phone cards (don't worry mom's, we'll call soon). So some people lied about a few things....we are the ONLY white people and NO ONE, I mean NO ONE speaks english. Most people stare but once you make eye contact they look away until you've passed them, then they stare again. Quite a few people have stopped in the street to talk about us but since we don't know the language, it's not too offensive. I, Abi, have begun waving and smiling at people enthusiastically, very out of character for me, and they seem to respond well. So anyone who is worrying, stop it, we're having fun and it's a cool place. Oh yeah, and it smells really really bad here. Sometimes like rotten fish, other times like sewage but the city is very quiet. Ok peace and love!
