Arrival

I didn't really know how to feel about leaving Sunday. I was a little nervous, mostly just because I don't know Korean.. Everyone kept telling me I would have an amazing time and I knew it was true, but I just wasn't excited as I though I would be.
When I arrived after a 13 hour flight, I was greeted by my mom's uncle and his wife. I went in for the hug, but i was kind of stopped short by a pat on the back, ha. They were very sweet, tried their best to communicate with my limited Korean and their limited English.

The ride from Incheon Airport to Seoul.

We got to Seoul at 5:30 am Tuesday morning, and they took me to breakfast. I saw a bunch of people out from the night before- a girl being half carried home by her boyfriend, and teenagers practically passed out on the curb. Apparently it is pretty common to stay out all night, because the subway stops at midnight, then reopens at 5. The area that Yonsei University is in full of bars, foood and little shops, all of which are open super late!
I was dropped off at the university, and went on a 3 day field trip with 80 kids from the program to the Korean countryside..
