The Arrival

So it felt like I had been on a plane for 7 days. It was such a long journey, but thank God it was a long journey because that means I made it! The flight was ok...unfortunately I had aisle seats the whole way which did not allow me to relax and sleep very well. After arriving in Japan I sat and thought...I am half way there! Of course then the flight attendant said something to offend me when my baggage wouldn't fit in the overhead compartment. He thought he was being funny, but after 17 hours a plane...there is not much anyone would find funny. He told me that I needed to take some of my weave out of my carryon so it would fit. I guess he thought that because he was gay it was ok...but giiiiirl, I wanted to cut him!

Anyway, I tried to keep it together in all my goodbyes, but when my sister left my parents house on Saturday night I lost it. My parents took me to the airport and were going to try to sit with me until it was time for me to board my flight, but they wouldn't allow it. I think it was probably for the best even though at the time I was highly upset ab0ut it. But had they come to the terminal with me I think I would have been even more of a mess.

Today is the first day I ventured out of my little apartment to find a place to log onto the internet. I was concerned I wouldn't find my way home...still kind of have that concern. Those who know me know how good I am with directions and no GPS! But I was on a mission!

I leave for Bundang on Friday and will finally be in the place I will call home for the next 12 months. SK is really beautiful. They have lots of mountains. I will post more upon my arrival in my new apartment. Love you all!
