1st day and night in Korea!

Yesterday was a big day! I left for my journey to Korea and it has been quite an adventure already!! I arrived at Incheon International Airport at about 3:30pm KST which was about 1:30am EST! After dropping everything off at the hotel, it was adventure time!! I went exploring around the hotel on the same island the airport was located on with my friend Lauren, which I am very thankful that we flew into Korea together! We had our first experience buying snacks at a little market! I accidentally bought steak flavored Cheetos...but it was cool looking at everything written in Korean! Now it is currently 11:00am KST which is about 9:00pm EST and we are at the airport again watching President Park Geun-Hye (the first female president of The Republic of Korea) take office today as we wait to meet up with our representative from the school!

    Hi, Ande! It's me, Danielle from AHS. I'm so excited for you and proud of you! Korea University is a top school and getting accepted there is no small accomplishment.I'm glad you made it there safely.

    How long will you be in Korea and what will you be studying? Is it for a whole year? If so, that'd be really cool because I'll be going to Japan for the summer. To think, we'd be an hour away from each other, both of us on the other side of the world, haha! I hope you have a wonderful time. Maybe help a friend out and follow me back on here? :) Be Happy and God Bless!
