I'm in Korea

Well I'm finally here and surprisingly the trip went pretty well. I know many people always have their crazy travel stories of how so many things went wrong or how uncomfortable they were, but I have nothing to contribute to that.

I flew with Korean Air and I highly recommend them. The food was great, the entertainment was great, the flight was fairly short, and all the hostesses were pretty (bonus!). I had ordered veggie meals and if any of you are veggie remember to do that when you book with your airline or travel agent. The meals I had were great. Pasta for dinner and pancakes for breakfast.

Once I arrived in Seoul I had to pick up my luggage and clear customs and then catch a flight to Busan. It was a very smooth process and I have no complaints about that.

I arrived in Busan and the airport was filled with EPIK people, I had already made some friends along the way from flying from Toronto to Seoul and then Seoul to Busan, but I picked up a few more at Busan. (Yaay for me!).

We all got sent to Busan in groups and I helped my groups load and then unload the luggage from the bus, that's nearly 70+ suitcases I had to lift and boy is my back sore!

Once we arrived at the orientation and got all registered we were given our dorm keys and also met our roommates. The dorms are really clean and come with a desk/bed/fridge/phone (only for calling other rooms). We also got a nice little gift package from EPIK with goodies such as towels/soaps/alarm clocks and other assorted useful goodies. The rooms also come with wired internet, no need to bring your wire, as you are given one (but must return it at end).

After setting up my internet, I went to go grab lunch but unfortunately I was denied, apparently I entered the cafeteria 1 minute to late, somehow the guy who entered after me was apparently on time, as he did get to eat.

It was all good though, my friends and I decided to go for a little walk and we found a really nice noodle place with very generous portions and we all got our fills there. While we were walking around we also found a Hello Kitty store, the entire store only had Hello Kitty stuff, it was pretty cool.

We came back from lunch, played a few games of cards, had dinner (which I didn't enjoy too much, sorry EPIK), said our goodbyes and went to bed! All in all it was a long fun and adventurous day!
