I’ve been having a lot of trouble composing this first post about being in Korea. I thought I would write about just how confusing Toronto Pearson Airport is and how you have to take a train from Terminal 1 to Terminal 3. Then I thought I would write about how my bags came off the luggage claim belt in Incheon Airport and were tagged as not properly clearing customs. Consequently, they needed further inspection – the culprit being a flashlight that appeared as a strange piece of metal in the middle of my pack (Was it a gun?! A bomb?!). That seemed to be the highlight of the flight until I was met at the arrivals gate by people from the program I’ll be working for after already having made (expensive) hotel reservations as instructed by the recruiter. But, then there was the strange airport hotel and the 2 hour drive from the hotel to the orientation site today that left me completely wiped and ready for a nap when I’ve been sleeping for 10 hours since I arrived in Korea. It's been a long couple of days.
