After flying for what seemed like forever, we finally reached our destination: Seoul, Korea. The flight was fantastic; Korean Air is absolutely the best way to travel. The kids did wonderful on the flight and the only problem we ran into was trying to keep them awake the last several hours. Yes, I was already trying to get them used to the time change -- not to mention I was ready for bed once we got into our hotel that night.
It took us about 4 days to recover from the jetlag and turn back into normal people. We were only in the hotel for 13 days before we had signed a contract for the house we found. However, it was a long 13 days since the weather was too cold to take the kids outside to play and we were all starting to get all over each other’s nerves from being cooped up in a small room. So you can only imagine our excitement when we moved into the house.
James did all the running around with the realtor looking at apartments and one house. After narrowing it down I was taken on the adventure out in the city with a Korean driver. That was when I realized how many cars, buses, and cabs are on the road at once and that everyone does their own thing, expecting the other person to stop.
Benjamin, our 6 year son, is enrolled in the American Elementary school in Kindergarten. He seems to like it -- no complaints yet. Ashley, our soon to be 3 year old daughter, is on the waiting list for preschool.
More news later on the house we are renting, hopefully along with pictures.
