Where do I start?

What on earth are we doing here?

This is amazing, we love it.

Those are the two thoughts that have been racing through our heads for the last 24 hours. As I try to navigate the internet in the Korean language, I feel good about our decision to come to this place. We're currently staying with friends in Seoul but we'll be leaving for Daegu in the morning. We look forward to finally settling into our apartment and getting some rest. The trip here from Calgary was perfectly smooth. And by that I mean it was dreadfully awful. The entire thing couldn't have been much worse. That experience doesn't help much as we try to adjust to major culture shock.

I don't have much time right now to give details, but we hope to have the internet as soon as we get to Daegu. If not, it'll be soon after.

This place is definitely very cool. While the adjustment is stressful, the new experiences are great. I'll update as soon as possible, but I have to go deal with this jet-lag thing. Until then . . .

keeps it real, all three of you.
