The Never Ending Trip :) Part 2

Ok, so I left off arrive at Chicago. All that know me know that I hate planes... with a passion. I know they are safer then cars but I still hate the fact the someone I know has my life in his hands. The layover in Chicago O'hare was around 2 hours... so there I am trying my best to make my last few calls from my phone and send my last few texts. As I'm sitting at the gate I start to wonder... Lord how many of these people are also going to the same place I am. ( It turns out that at least 13 of my now fellow new teachers where at that same gate with the same question in their head.) I was also thinking on the flight and asking The Lord to give me strength and to help me trust in Hiim. I talked to my father and said by when I boarded but wasn't able to talk to my mom that made me pretty sad. Finally the plane doors where closed and we were off... It was 12 hours from Chicago to Narrita, Japan. It was a good flight... the food was ok... I didn't say a word for 12 hours, the people next to me spent most of the time with headphones or sleeping... I couldn't sleep because we were in front of the Screen and because I couldn't really get comfortable. We made it to Japan, i had met a nice lady at the gate in Chicago and we sat next to each other at the flight from Japan to Seoul. I was so sleepy and groggy it was crazy. The flight to Seoul was also a good one. I was dying to finally get into a bed. By that time (9pm Seoul time) I had already been traveling for over 20 hours. Not counting the flight from PR to atl.

I was able to get through immigration with out any problem and Finally got out the doors to meet the people from the SDALI, it took us a whole other 2 hours or more to get to the house we would be staying at. I wanted to just sleep but we had to wait for our luggage that was being brought in a separate car. I found out now from first had experience that floors in Korea are heated by water. I finally was able go to sleep, but like all of us in the house woke up around 3am... and it took me a while to fall asleep. ( Every day since we got all in the house get up at 3am even though we fall back asleep)

Finally I was here... In Korea... I couldn't believe it but all the signs in characters and all the native Koreans let me know that I am here and for a while :)
