Mel and I look around for our taxi driver who is suppose to have our names on a paper. We see NO ONE with that. Only one guy with a sign in Korean. We wandered around the Seoul airport and found a McDonalds. We were hungry. Mel tried to go in with her cart of luggage. She got yelled at so we left. Then I found a change machine so I could make a call to the "emergency" number we got. I call the guy. He's at the airport and says I have a black jacket on... right. So we find him. He apologizes and we all go to the company van.
This van is decked out in bubbly cartoon characters. Great. GPS system was RADICAL. So it was like a game show in the car. Every time there was a speed camera or whatever it would beep to slow down. You can only go 100 on this road apparently. ALSO the roads are bright as shit and TOTALLY distracting. I could never drive on these roads without some sort of accident occurring.
We get to our apartment building. Simon parks the van. These parking spots are so tight the side windows have a button to fold into the side of the car. If that makes sense. I'll find a photo. It's ridiculous. Now I know why Asians are so tiny. It's so they can get in and out of their cars in those damn spots!
So my apartment is on the 9th floor with a view of the subway station and a little bit of the mountain which is behind a bunch of tall buildings. Let's just say it was not exactly clean when I got in here. Mel's was worse. Plus we were missing a bunch of stuff. So far I'm down a dresser, pots and pans, dishes, cups and utensils.
I showered and met Mel to walk around and get lunch. Lunch was ice cream from Baskin Robins. It was ALL we could pronounce and actually know what it was!
Next blog will be the first time in the school.
