Hello friends, family and random strangers who stumbled upon my blog. I created this blog as a venue to record my adventures and to share my experiences with all of you.
With much excitement and some trepidation I will be heading to South Korea to teach for a year. I leave in exactly 12 days and I can hardly believe it's so soon. The last few months have been a whirlwind with people to see, things to buy and visas and flights to arrange. Just today I went down to the Korean Consulate in Toronto to pick up my passport with my E2 visa, so now I can officially work in Korea.
I will be leaving Canada on February 16, flying American Airlines to Los Angelas and then Korean Airlines on to Korea. I was supposed to be flying direct but my flight was cancelled so I had no choice but to take this route. At least it's cheaper. I'll be arriving at Incheon airport at 6am and then, after all the rigmarole of customs, I will be boarding a shuttle bus to Eulgi University in Seongnam for a 10 day orientation. After 10 days I will boarding yet another bus and I will head to a final stop at my new home in the city of Daejeon.
I can't help but wonder what will happen. Will I like my apartment? Will I get on with my co-teachers and like my school? I guess I'll find out soon and promise to let you know in future blogs.
