We are in Korea!

Yay! We finally made it to Korea! I am so excited to share some of the pictures we have gotten on our first day. Traveling was to be expected....long! I was so happy to get off the flight. We had the best service ever on Asiana Airlines, even though we sat coach I felt like we were in first class. You know, the steam towels, great food, slippers...etc. Here is a picture of Zak and I leaving the hotel on our way to the airport!

And one of me before we went to our gate:

Here is the plane we were on to Korea, I think it looks like a whale with that hump on the top:

So after we landed and went through customs, we were greeted with a man look for "Jack and Nikky" (pronounced NEE-KEE) The ride from the airport to our hotel was a bit long as well and Zak and I didn't get much sleep on the airplane.. well none actually.. so we were fighting to stay awake during our taxi ride. It is weird to not tip anyone in Korea, and they are all about customer service, more so than the American's who work in customer service that get tipped. Our hotel is nice, they have a great breakfast and free laundry service... but the toilet is a bit weird, it has lots of buttons... and the shower has eight shower heads...yes, eight. After we got some rest we woke up this morning ready to go walk around Osan (where our hotel is) and Pyongtaek (where Zak will be working). Here we are in Osan:

We took the train into Pyongtaek, and when we got out of the train station Zak had thought we were in the wrong place but quickly realized we weren't.. there has just been so much built up in the last 3 years to recognize what he remembered. The have a huge shopping mall in the Pyongtaek train station, its 6-7 floors with a movie theater and pool on top. Here is a picture of Zak playing with a claw machine in Pyongtaek:

(They have these everywhere)

So we had a pretty successful first day in Korea, I have learned how to say "hello" and "thank you" and I have also learned how to use the money (won) here. Off to conquer some more jet lag....
