Hey All,

Well I'm in Korea, I probably won't have another posting on for about a week or so...just waiting to get internet and phone for my apartment. Both of which cannot be done until I have a visa, so right now I'm writing this in a PC room, basically a dollar gets you an hour of internet access.

The flight was pretty good, we had an empty seat beside us which was great...took turns streching our legs out. I slept for probably half the flight or more, Julie was not so lucky, she barely got any sleep and the Korean Airline food was pretty good. There were no problems getting through at the airport, and Tammy's husband and one of the school bus drivers were waiting with a sign.

The drive was pretty long 4hrs to Iksan from Incheon, but we stopped twice to strech out and get a drink. The funniest thing about the drive was that for 2hrs they were playing Anne Murray. I'm not sure if this was becuz we're Canadian, or if they just like her. None the less I was trying very hard not to laugh.

For the last two days we've been wanderin around checkin everything out around where we live. Found the Pizza Hut, 7/11, Dunkin Donuts, Baskin Robbins, but not the McDonalds yet. The big Wal-Mart store was pretty cool, it's 4 floors (1=food, 2=appliances/household stuff, 3&4 = clothes).

The apartments are nice when I get internet goin I'll post some pics, but pretty much what you would expect, small little hallway of a kitchen between the bathroom and the main room. The bathroom has a removable shower head beside the mirror and is controlled using the same tap as the sink. Good thing I didn't bring a shower curtain Mom becuz the entire bathroom is the shower stall with a drain in the center of the floor. The main room has the bed, fridge, table, TV and DVD player, closet and AC unit. Thank God for the AC, it is stinkin hot over here about 32-35, so I usually spend 1/2 the day inside watchin TV. We have about 70 channels, and at any given time as many as 10 might have english programming, but there's lots of sportson, which don't really require commentating. There's always baseball on either MLB, Korean or Japanese, there's also alot of MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), and they've also been playing the World Basketball Championships. And there's also about five movie chanels which play alright movies. All in all, so far so good. Next blog hopefully I get some pics on here so you guys can see what it's like. Till then taker easy.
