Goodbye America. Hellooo Korea.

This has been the longest day of my life.  No joke.  We got up around 6am Wed morning and thanks to physics, we flew in the sun the whole time.  It is now nearly 8am Thursday morning Ohio time and it's the first time I've seen night.  It's about 9pm Korea time now.  It's a rather fascinating effect.  My mind is being tricked into thinking it's just been a normal day, but my body is so exhausted that it knows better.  The 14 hour flight went by much more quickly than I thought it would.   They had the windows closed and the lights dimmed most of the time.  Alan was conked out for a good majority of the time and to me it just felt like an infinite point of time.  So when we finally got off the plane, I felt like maybe two hours had passed.

They served both Western food and Korean food on the plane.  Alan received a Korean meal and I was slightly horrified.

One of his sides appeared to be eel offspring.  

My western food was good though and Alan enjoyed his (minus the baby eels).  XD



Here's our first glimpse of Korea.  


We landed safely, made it into the country, found our bags, got through Customs, managed to buy the correct bus tickets, and then get on said bus.

An hour bus ride and a lot of carting luggage uphill later, we found the hotel.  And it's shwanky.  :D






So, we're here.  We're safe.  We've got a great room to sleep in and chips from the local mini mart to munch on.  I found what I thought was a peanut butter sandwich there, but it turns out I was mistaken.  The "peanut butter" is not real peanut butter at all but rather, some peanut butter cream.  Almost like cream cheese.  So I'm going to stick to my chips and enjoy some much desired rest.  :)
