Hello Asia!

Ben's expatriate life has officially begun! Touched down in Incheon airport yesterday at around 4 pm (that's 3 am Michigan time). Flight was good (long but good-14 hours), service was excellent, meals were good and free beer/wine/just about anything else you could ask for. All my bags showed up on time (that would have sucked) and got through immigration and customs just fine. Exchanged my $750 for 786,500 won (it's a pretty decent size wad) and hopped on a bus with about 12 other teachers to go to the Hyundai Learning Center where we'll be for the next week. Still not sure where exactly it's located (outside all you can see are trees and hills) but I'm told it's pretty close to the city. Got here around 7 last night and slept until about 5:30 this morning, so hopefully jet lag won't hit me too hard. Not a whole lot on the agenda today, just gonna see what I can find out about this whole thing and meet some new folks. Anyway, that's my update for now, wish me luck!
