It's currently 10am and I'm already feeling like I need my second shower of the day.
My flight here (12 hours, 17 hour wait, 2 hours) was long and consisted of uncomfortable naps, uncomfortable seats and uncomfortable noises coming from the man sat next to me, who wouldn't wake up when I needed to go to the toilet either. Not even after a few brisk taps to the shoulder.
But I made it! We, meaning me and two other scholars I met at the airport, had a nice journey in a big car with no seat belts (we didn't need them according to the driver) and a cushy leather roof, which I assumed was to soften the blow if we did topple over without seatbelts available. Finally, I arrived at Jochiwon Sejong Campus of the South Korean University. Phew. And it only took just over 32 hours.
:D
Last night we went to a bar/corner shop and drank some 'soju' - a kind of moonshine-esque drink which tastes like watered down vodka with sugar in it (Yum Yum I'm sure you are thinking) but at a pound a bottle (1,100 Won - I told you I'm a soon-to-be millionaire) it did the trick. After two or three near-miss-sicks you can actually stomach a shot of it!
Today we're off to Seoul for our opening ceremony (we might be on TV!) and a scavenger hunt - on the map of which they've highlighted where Burger King is, just in case we haven't adjusted to Korean Food yet. On the flight I opened my 'butter' to find it was actually Red Chilli Paste.
I've already started kind of sleeptalking to my roommate as well, by kind of I mean sitting bolt upright and being very confused. Better to get him accustomed to it though - there's still three weeks left of orientation!
