Our First Post
We landed in Incheon, South Korea after a 12-hour flight from San Francisco.
A driver was waiting to pick us up and I couldn’t resist taking a picture of a sign with our names on it! He drove us to the city of Seoul, which only took about an hour. It was very dark on the highway. but the first thing we noticed was lots of Hyundai and Daewoo cars.
When we arrived at our apartment building, the program director, Richard, was waiting to show us to our room. Our apartment is very nice. It comes with a view from the fourth floor (or F floor, as 4 is an unlucky number), a washer with drying rack, a microwave, a television, VCR (which we’ll probably never use), snappy internet, a heated floor and a small bathroom. It is very modern and compact. We are located very close to a subway line, a large grocery store, Papa Johns pizza and lots of outlet shopping stores.
So far we have been trying to get over jetlag, and done a little shopping to furnish the place. Thankfully we located a Starbucks about two miles away (a “very walkable†distance). We are told that is the distance we will have to walk to school each morning. We will find out more about that this morning, as Richard is taking us into the school for some orientation.
We miss you all very much and enjoy talking and video conferencing with you on iChat! It helps keep the phone bill down!

I'm sure I speak for both the Clunz's and Robison's when I say that your trip looks incredible.
Also, is "snappy" internet considered high speed?
Great job on the page. Roxy and Ranger starting jumping up and down when they saw their picture. Today when I was grocery shopping, I wondered what type of foods from home you will miss. Thankfully, Starbucks won't be one of them. Have you bought stock yet?
ahn young! that's cool that you're in korea now!
So glad to see that the page is updated! Love you guys and look forward to reading more!
"Snappy" internet would be about a 100Mbit connection. In most places in the states you get around 3-10Mbps. So, yeah, it's snappy.
