Landing in Korea














As we arrived in Seoul, Korea at approximately 12:00 Noon on July 31st, we were very tired and yet very excited. One of the biggest difficulties for us was the 14 pieces of luggage and 14 carry ons that we had. Somehow we managed to get them out into main part of the airport where we were met by staff of GSIS - the school that we would be working at. Their help made the job much more easy.

As we exited the airport the first thing we noticed was the heat and the humidity. Approximately 30+ degrees with humidity at least 95%. We knew humidity could be like this - just as it is back in Canada - but when you are trying to move luggage in this heat it doesn't help.

We were bused to Suwon with the other Canadian's who were on the flight with us from Toronto - all of us wearing the fashionable purple GSIS t-shirts. The Leighs - Steve - Stephanie and others as well as staff from TCIS, our sister school in Taejon, were all very excited to finally arrive to our destination.

We had truly begun our journey - at this point there was no looking back - just going forward.
