the arrival






After a long awaited arrival, Korea is here! Texas is out of sight, mostly out of mind, and the smell of fresh seafood and a new lifestyle is here and now. I walked into an airport full of beautiful Korean faces speaking sounds I do not understand. I stood in wonder and stared endlessly into their Korean mouths trying so hard to make out the words... but they did not come. I am so giddy I can hardly take it. I took off on Saturday morning at 6am and arrived in Korea on Sunday night at 9pm. I am tired, hungry, and thriving on new experience adrenaline. A woman picks us up from the airport and takes us to our new home for the next year. I drive in a car and read sign after sign of nonsense. I am in super experience mode. I try to take it all in at once. You only arrive in Korea one time, make the best of it.
