Our First Solo Dining Attempt.

Last night marked our first attempt at dining out without the aid of a Korean friend. It was definitely worth it. I say that as the one who stood by nodding while Dan said words. I do think he'd agree, though.

Morning Walk.

I remembered my camera on this morning's walk.

Oh, and I just wanted to confess that that day I mentioned listening to Jackson Browne and falling asleep, that's exactly what I ended up doing. I can't tell if it was self-fulfilling or if I just know myself so well.

So let's get on with this, because I have pronunciations to practice.

Out the Window.

Today was warm enough to have the windows open for a while, so I did have them open, and I took some pictures.


This is outside our bedroom window.


The pigeon on the right is one of the several pigeons that purr us to sleep at night. So far we don't mind it.


This is out the window in the extra room. On the right is a parking structure that Dan keeps calling a car ferris wheel. It's pretty intense, but we haven't seen or heard it doing anything yet.



We think this is some sort of power plant maybe?

Tomorrow I'm going to remember to bring my camera on my walk with Dan to the school. We might try to get coffee at a coffee shop across the street. It will be our first dining experience without the aid of a Korean. I expect we'll be pointing and nodding. I did learn vowels, consonants, and pronunciations today, though! I found what seem to be some really good Korean language programs online. We'll see. I spent the afternoon trying to read (but not understand) our cereal boxes.

Apartment Tour in Pictures.

Video forthcoming. I also have some pictures of our flight over.

We're Here!

We made it. We're in our apartment. We live in Hapjeong-Dong. The floors have heat in them. It's amazing. Dan starts tomorrow, which is completely crazy, but he will do well, I am sure of it. I am working on pictures, but it's our nighttime now, so I am going to go have that. I am failing at this jet lag thing. I can't force myself out of the 5 hour afternoon nap and the waking up for the day at 4:30 AM.

We're excited to be here. We've walked around our neighborhood a couple times. There's a Domino's here. Maybe we'll do that for Dan's birthday.
