By Plane, or Train, or Bus

Okay, so I thought since I updated our blog with pictures (and brief explanations) I thought I would write about some of our experiences here so far. First of all, jet lag is crazy. We are in bed every night by 8:00 and up around 3:00 (5:00 if we are lucky). The girls are having so much fun, but I have to wonder what they are really thinking (like, okay I want to go home now). They are endearing, which is nice. On our way from the airport to the hotel, we took a bus. Now if I can tell you one thing about bus drivers in Korea is that there are no bus drivers. They are more like roller coaster death traps. They are one of the biggest vehicles on the road, and yet drive like they are motorcycles. They weave in and out of traffic, cut of cars left and right, and slam on the brakes just to floor the gas again. So we made it to the hotel alive, and fell asleep almost as soon as we entered our room. The first week in Seoul we played alot!! The hotel is a four star hotel with all the yummy desserts that come with it. There are alot of briefs that they give us here to aclimate us to the culture here. We even had a crash course in the Korean language.
Today we took another bus (this one was way less scary) to the train station. Jared and I have 12 bags altogether that we had to get on and off the bus. Then, when we arrived at the train station, the bus stopped at the bottom of the hill (there are lots of hills here). It took us 2 trips to get all our bags into the train station. As we waited for our train, so many strangers kept touching the girls' face or holding their hand, and kept saying how cute they were. Koreans love blonde hair and blue eyes. Everyone is so nice (and skinny!!). Most of the women here wear high heels and rush around as if they are always in a hurry. We had a KATUSA to help us get to Daegu. A Katusa is a Korean soldier that trains with US soldiers. It is mandatory in Korea that all men serve in the military at least two years. Our escort is one of the few who said that he was going to stay in.
Today we found out that our housing will be available to us on Monday, which is very soon (most people wait at least 30 days). What makes it even more perfect is that our household goods got here yesterday, which means that we will have our stuff in our house by the end of next week, hopefully. I feel so blessed by Heavenly Father.
