We made it to South Korea! Thankfully, all our bags (including our imac!) met us at the luggage carousel. We're slowly adjusting to the new timezone and exploring our new neighbourhood.

I ducked in to school today (on a Saturday!) and tried to organize some stuff in my classroom. There's a lot to do, but I've been assured it will all come together.

Mike and I then took a taxi to a nearby shopping district for some supper and shopping. It was our first time venturing out without someone to translate so we were pretty proud of ourselves!
