#16 hello kOrea!!

welcome to korea!
first class.. there wasnt much difference from first and business

business class.. where i was treated like a queen =)


the plane trip from sydney to here was sooo good, i sat in business class and was treated like a queen, food was good and the sleep was even better.... 11 hours flew by quickly because it was so comfy i just slept and ate most of the time, i didnt even read any of my magazines!

so i landed in korea safely and got picked up by a driver. luckily he spoke english so i was able to communicate with him with no problems, he did however started to ask me stuff in korean but, i found that i was better in korean than i thought. as soon as you get here, everything changes, no one speaks english and u just have to find your way around in korean. back in sydney i went to tafe for 4 hours a week and only used my korean then. i never practiced it so i sort've forgot abt it until now, there are still things that i cant say or explain so it was up to my broken korean and their broken english ahaha

i got to my apartment about 2 hours later ... the ride was so long! from the airport to the city is about 40mins-an hour and then the drive from seoul to my area was another 40mins ish! it took forever but in the end at about 830 ish we arrived and met up with my co teacher.

my apartment is ok... its not as nice as i would like it... the area im living in however is awesomeeeee, its abt 15 mind away from my school and train station but its very lively and busy. as soon as i walk out of the apartment there are streets of shops and restaurants EVERYWHERE... its so bright and lit up.. i love it!

as soon as i got here i dropped off my stuff and headed out to buy food and to find a net cafe to let my family know that i was ok... this was a bit of a challenge because there are so many small streets everywhere, luckily i saw this student and i asked him where it was, he was so nice he took me there =) it was only 2 mins away from me but just hidden.

after that i pretty much just went to shower, eat and then went to sleep.. it's been a long and tiring day, i got a big day 2moro so will update soon!

안녕~
