Finally, drumroll please....

After an hour flight, a 10 hour flight, and a 3 hour layover in between, I have arrived in Seoul!!

The flight was uneventful, except for the flight attendants being extremely cordial, which in this day and age is quite an event in it's own right! :P
Incheon airport vaguely reminded me of DC, because of it's carpeted hallways. If you, dear reader, can't tell yet, then let me inform you that I haven't slept for 31 hours, and so my thoughts (and writing) are rather non coherent! :)
So instead of boring the world with my writing, I will let these first pictures of Seoul speak for themselves.

My first glimpse of a Korean skyline, coming from Incheon Airport

Night life in front of the University's main gate. The stores, the stores!! I can't wait to spend money!! hihihi

Ewha or 이화여자대학고, my home for the next 4 months.

Packing for Korea

The battle has begun anew! Despite having much practice at packing luggage, I am no nearer to figuring out how to pack my life into one bag, with a weight limit of 50lb. (Those crazy airlines!)

Already, I have cut down my luggage to only clothes, shoes, and toiletries. For a bookworm like me, who travels with dozens of books DESPITE owning a Kindle, that's saying a lot! Last night I stayed awake watching Youtube videos "What to pack for Korea". Besides being very entertaining, they were informative and I feel confident I have packed sufficiently!

Now it's one suitcase down, one carry-on bag to go!
Sneak peak of my packed, ready to go suitcase! I am quite proud of myself! (If I may say so myself)^^
